Oh dear, real stumpy scrumpy? I hope it will be a very dark corner.

If they had delivered them in the past we would not have needed to order them.
<hopes Matt Smith understands all this timey-wimey stuff>

Perhaps they will deliver them in the past at some point? They may just not have got around to it yet.

This year I don't think we have to fear the Legion of the Danvers, it's the Fforumites that worry me. I think it will be a case of pouring tea, passing round the Battenburg and running as far away as soon as possible.

Mr Skids, I can't believe you haven't got your costume yet!

Egon, I think I've worked out who you are.

For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a little video we did

The Danvers clone is slightly familiar...

I guess clicking on my links and reading the author details gave it away, eh? I didn't realise there was a mystery!

No I just matched when you said you were thinking of coming to when you said you bought your ticket against my database. I didn't think of reading the author details. I just pride myself in being as welcoming as possible. No mystery there.

Fascinating... how long have you had these feelings of adequacy?...

Thank you kindly. It shall be a good time. Are there significant disadvantages to staying elsewhere overnight? I am budgetting.

None at all. There's a quiz Friday evening at 7.30 We start at 9.30 on and go through to about 9pm both days so it's not too late either day. Quite a few people hang around in the bar until late.

There are some reasonably priced hotels quite close. If you don't mind sharing with someone, I know there is a very pleasant young man who is looking to share his room.

It does make it very reasonable if you split the cost of the room because you get breakfast thrown in too.

I'm not that pleasant!

Oh, you didn't mean me...

I'll sort my ticket in August when I remember. I made a note on the November page of next years calendar.

Costume is easy, will put something together that I can see myself wearing in August.

We have an couple of ideas for 2057 but the fancy dress is still causing problems.

Having written that I am not sure about the 2057 bit either.

We may just turn up in steampunk and pretend that everyone else got it wrong.

The fancy dress is really hard! I have an idea which probably will look silly as I'm not the same shape of person. <enigma>

2013 retro look is bound to be be very 2057.

But which retro? There appear to be an increasingly large number of options.

We could all go as Ninja Turtles and confound them with nonsense?

XKCD

It's not right that my mind should be thinking of Animal shouting 'Renoir! Renoir!' but it is.

Team 'Premier Inn' should arrange themselves around me. I need some human shields.

Time to write an angst poem on 'Space Ship Blues'. Tough.

I'm getting excited!!!

(spelling mistake! Too much excitement, possibly)

I've written such a sad space traveller's angst that I might cry reading it out
