So, its Saturday, and that means shopping for my wife! We decided to travel to Milton Keynes as we have been there a few times (for those non-UK residents, MK is a 'new town' about 60 miles North of London).

Anyway, we turn up, and I run right into this:

Collector Fair

Pushing through the Klingons and Daleks, and the autograph hunters, there were some very tempting stalls set up... but I resisted the urge after an expensive Salute weekend seven days ago.

Fun. I have no money, which is a good thing. Serious.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back from my trips to other forums besides BFG related ones (music/Tool). But, whoa, flaming & cursing without being banned can be quite a relief.

Some forum/boards out there can be *VERY* harsh.  :o0

I prefer the more sane and friendly ones like this one.  :cool:

I did have my camera phone on me... which took mostly bad pictures. But, anyway...

Wow, not too shabby! Wish I'd made it, that setup looked immense!

Get a chance to speak to any of them? Best I've managed in my time is a compliment from Gav Thorpe regarding my T-shirt and a chance to say "Hi" to Patrick Moore...

Dude! Had I known you were there we could have met up!

Best I have managed is to jabber with Adam West and Gil Gerard. Adam is a really nice guy, although he did keep calling my mate names which did cause a certain amount of friction :).

There must have been about 15 'stars' there - ranging from 'who the hell are you' to the more recognisable. It was a large setup, and fairly impressive.

I think that my favourite 'celeb meet' was when Rachel Stevens was queueing in a restaurant behind me! Still, I have also met Johnny Ball (very cool), Robert Llewelyn (must be spelt wrong) and a few others.

I didnt get to talk to any of these guys, as they were tucked behind barriers and the event was charging fifteen ounds for an autograph and meet. I am not that much of a fan-boy!

And Tom, if I had known that I was going more than an hour in advance, I would have PM'ed you.  :blush:

You met Rachel Stevens?!? Oh man, now that is a girl I would love to have an epic encounter with - pardon the pun.

And...

Hi C/S- did you get to meet Mira Furlan??

I know most of the B5 fanboys love Claudia Cristian/Ivanova
but I always prefered Mira as Delenn. Even in Season 1 when she had a bonehead with no hair!!
:blush:
Cheers
