Bluewater Review.
I decided to leave home at 1.00pm which turned into 1.30pm. I was there by 2.30 pm. I walked around in a big circle until I aventually found warestones as couldnt quite remember exactly where it was situated. I bought both Magnificent Machines for Duch & May on motors for myself as already had a copy of the other book. I was the first person more or less, there I was way too early. One other man bought his book for the signing the same time as me.
I then went to applause store & aked about tickets for Top Gear, it is now a 4 year waithing list. I then went to Jessops to get my pics of James at Hay developed. I looked around Smiths for a while & bought a big bottle of water as It was hot & I was thirsty. I joined the queue at 4.30pm, there were 13 people in front that had began to queue. so I sat down & waited with everyone else, The nerves were back & by the time the lady came along for the names on the sticky notes I was shaking already. also something to do with my message I wanted. I will keep it to myself though as he wrote what I wanted.
I read a little May on motors while I waited but couldnt really get into it so only read a tiny bit. XJ Sarah & GoTe turned up at around 5.30pm we greeted each other then XJ went to buy a book, then we chatted until I saw flashes go off. James had arrived & the press were taking pictures. I couldnt really see him but I noticed a figure sit down.
The queue then began to move it wasnt long before I reached the table Mr May was sat at. He looked really good. his hair looked good & the grey was really noticeable but very nice. I gave him the books. I talked a little about DuchDiva as one of the books is for her, & mentioned she was coming over for MPH show. James made it clear that it isn't MPH anymore but now its called Top Gear live which I was aware of. I then gave him some spam his comment being oh spam I havent had a tin all day, lol How original of me. Oh well. I also gave him the group photo of us all at Hay. He & I then went through it together & I pointed people out. He remebered DD & Maibee. He actually knew Maibee's name. Lucky lady. I pointed out Sarah & he asked XJ? But she was behind & Heard him. He has a good memmory for names on the telegraph. Hopefully he will get familiar with me now I talked to him. I mentioned Me being starfish on JMB & again he said he had been here & mentioned the blue flowery shirt thread again. I didnt hear him when he mentioned it before. but he was talking to me this time when he said it. I am proud that I had the courage to chat with him this time. I barely could say anything worth mentioning the last two times I saw him.This time Me & Mr May had quite a chat. He kept saying things to me. I am happy. GoTe stood behind & took lots of photos. I didnt get many as I was shaking too much & xj are in the couple I have so wont post.
Afterwards I said goodbye to them both & then I headed off in a daze. I adventually found my way out of the complex lol all in all a successful May outing. Captain Slow servived the cluches of Starfish this time, cant wait til I meet him again.

I hope he doesn't know this site that well. Well done Beckstar - you are top of his list. 
He's a top bloke, truly. Good on you, Becks 
She said that it wasn't, and indicated me waiting not far behind her - I just waved briefly and said something like, "No, that's me! Hello!" Well, I mean, bloody hell!!! 
;D
, fancy not remembering my fur coat ;D......I really think that he would look at the pair of us and not believe we would be on here ;D little does he know 
I held you, you felt me, I touched you, you kissed me.......
