Bit cheeky, I know - but, any chance of someone grabbing a signed copy of the book for me? Happy to Paypal the funds beforehand to cover the book, postage and a 'handling' fee. | ||

Demmit!! That's only 10 minutyes up the road from me but I'll be sitting round in a school hoping some young child injures themself so I've got something to do on Saturday. (St John Ambulance is a strange hobby when you look at it from a different perspective) Sorry. | ||

Hoping to make this one. Am scheduled to work Saturday, but as you can imagine I'm doing everything I can to get out of it. Otherwise, I'll be working til 5, so wouldn't get to Bolton til 6-ish. Anyone planning on sticking around after? | ||

We're off into Manchester afterwards, Simon (to the Red Chilli). | ||

Excellent! Looking forward to it all. Gagsy- if you need a place to crash, I can put you up for the night. (I promise not to talk about airships.)  | ||

Good to see you folk! I should report for those who couldn't make it that my reading of the last few pages of "The Other Side" was enlivened by an oldish couple who drifted in under the impression that this was the Bible reading apparently taking place elsewhere in the building. It seemed to take them at least a couple of pages to decide they'd made a mistake. | ||

Reminds me of the time listening to radio 4 extra I couldn't decide whether what I was listening to was Terry Pratchett or Shakespeare - for half an hour. | ||

Er - Paul, it was last week. | ||

And a great time it was, too! | ||

Aye, it certainly was. Great food and company indeed. | ||

Ramsey, Paul is a good mate of Dr Who - they work together. He has frequent access to the Tardis. If he had time next week to make it last Friday, he'd have been there. Unfortunately he hasn't, so he's apologising after the event. | ||

Wish I could've been there too, but, alas, I was in a different place and time myself.  |
