WoF wants to meet Neil Gaiman.

[Wings of Fire]

MOD EDIT: This thread was split off from 'What are you reading?' after this post.

A long shot, but are there any central UK based members interested in a Neil Gaiman book signing in Birmingham? I'll definitely be there, and if anyone else comes maybe we could have a coffee or something.

Also you can't be under sixteen or I might get myself and this forum in trouble.

[STM]

I totally would if it wasn't in the middle of the day...I havenae earnt any holiday at work yet. =P

Let's just say... yes.

[Nepsotic]

Aw shit. That sucks because I'd go. I don't do any reading, nor do I know who Neil Gaymen is, but it'd still be a fun experience.

[Vyrien]

nor do I know who Neil Gaymen is

Educate yourself.

[Nepsotic]

Actually, I almost definitely do, I can't really remember him but I have heard the name before.

[Wings of Fire]

It's okay guys I got this one

He wrote 'The Doctor's Wife'.

[Nepsotic]

Oh, the only decent-ish episode in the entire series. Okay, I want in.
Isn't Birmingham like, really far away?

[MeechMunchie]

It's 46 miles for me, but I'm lazy.

[Vyrien]

I'm going there on the 13th, fuck's sake.

It's twenty miles from me (My location needs updating) but I have no idea how far it is from [Funny].

I'll buy you cake!

[MeechMunchie]

Well, I have been meaning to eat some cake...

[MA]

i'd be up for this just for the meet up but i can't risk going through Birmingham without proper road tax. i'd get bent over and spanked by those fucking traffic warden dicks.

[Wings of Fire]

It's like public transport doesn't exist in Lichfield.

[OddjobAbe]

MA doesn't like buses, because he becomes self-conscious about all the old ladies and decent people judging him. To be honest, I'm the same way.

[MA]

holy shit Oddjob you hit the nail on the head, that's absolutely true. spookily so. but with more grannies and no where to sit. now stop monitoring me.

and i ain't chasing after another bus for no man. the buses like to leave early when i'm around, usually while i'm running next to them dropping spare change everywhere and banging on the fucking windows screaming obscenities.

[Nepsotic]

Usually nobody sits next to me on a bus, but when they do it's uncomfortable as fuck.

[Nate]

*splits thread*

[Wings of Fire]

This should be a blog.

Banned.

[Nepsotic]

Did WoF just ban himself?

[Varrok]

Of course not, that would be stupid!

...he banned Nate.

Also, I wish some famous writers visit my country. Sucks.

[STM]

But...Poland has plenty of famous writers...like that guy...and erm...that Mickiewicza bloke.

[Varrok]

It's quite hard to get an autograph from him

[Vyrien]

Well you're just going to have to try harder aren't you.

[Varrok]

Worked with Einstein, so why not.

[Nepsotic]

Of course not, that would be stupid!

...he banned Nate.

Does this mean we're free?

[MA]

But...Poland has plenty of famous writers...like that guy...and erm...that Mickiewicza bloke.

i was gonna say "you had Anne Frank, stop being so greedy" until i realized she was German, and never set foot in Poland.

still. occupied Poland, Nazi Germany, same difference.

Copernicus, Edward Flatau, Ignacy Łukasiewicz, John Paul II, Laurie Juspeczyk, Stanley Kowalski, William Blazkowicz...
