BOOK SIGNING 22 January 2009

[lew]

Stick with me.......then I'll run the other way ;D.....nah it's ok I seem to suffer a panic attacks only when I attend these.....heavy breathing, etc, I'm just hoping if that occurs he'll think it's his lucky day ;D

I don't want to be first either.... being a "virgin"

I need to know how best to play it ;D

its a difficult one! i'm just gonna turn up and what will be will be
last time i was fairly near the front (14th to be precise, lucky number so i know all will be good) and jet lagged! I was totally unfazed by meeting him and worryingly laid back! I was trying to think of something to say, then he started a conversation which resulted in me talking complete which he found amusing!!
He was such a cool guy and so easy to talk to. It was at this exact point i came flying out of the May closet
This time i will be a bundle of nerves and i will say something totally idiotic and have to run and probably trip over

[lew]

In that case your with me in front ;D

;D I'll look out for this infamous coat i read so much about
I'll be the one consuming vast amounts of chocolate, ipod on loud and looking like i will pass out at any minute, mouthing 'don't say any thing retarded' over and over again

[lew]

The coat may not be there......I've bought a nice leather number ;D (one of many)

[Vixen]

Lew, how on earth will I know who you are if you hdon't have the fur coat?!

[lew]

I'll be the 6ft blonde ;D .....no sorry meant the 5ft and a bit blonde

[jacqui]

shall we all just wear a badge or a flower or something and make it really obvious

I'll be the one hyperventalating

[Deleted]

Whyy do I have an image of a long line of women all with a flower about their person, wearing slightly giggly grins and all trying to be cool and remembering how to talk

I do talk rubbish, most of my posts are evidence to this

[Vixen]

LOL! I'll be the same, except I'll end up getting to the front of the queue and vomitting all over Oz the place.... (I'm kidding)

I'll need someone beside me to hold me up straight though.... ;D

What a spectacle that would make ;D
I do believe that might render Oz speechless, much to James' delight

[lew]

Though it could be the other way around Oz delights and James runs away screaming ;D......though he's lovely to talk to.

[jacqui]

could do OK plan b - we all run after him ;D

[lew]

;D.....nah old Jam likes a chat and I'm guessing cos he's got Oz even more braver or the fact that a double down the local somewhere helps ;D actually that's my excuse.....purely for medicinal purposes

[jacqui]

Great ! will partaking of some liquid courage my self, I think i'm going to need it

[Vixen]

I'll have a pint of Stella beforehand (my kinda dutch courage) then mebbeh a couple of ciggies, then mebbeh another pint, then see him, then have 4 more pints and a packet of ciggies....

[lew]

where and what time........though I must have my hair done.....but I won't if it's can I say this .......peeing with rain that sounds better ;D

[Vixen]

I don't know any pubs in London! I was kinda hoping whoever I meet up with would find that out! Although, if I'm desperate, I'll find one.... ;D

[lew]

There's a couple near the bookshop......I only know cos a) I worked near there b) we went in one last time ;D but don't ask me their names.......I don't remember ;D

[wildcathammondette]

Seems we'll be having a Boozy Conga Line ...

[Vixen]

That's a couple more than me then! The only ones I know are the 2Brewers (fab club btw ;D) and The cross keys, not that either of those are even remotely close I suspect!

[lew]

Cross keys a bit too far and the other.......where's that ;D

[Vixen]

The other is in Clapham as far as I'm aware. But this is the person who gets lost in her home town, which is like the size of two streets in London compared to London itself, if you told me two places in London, there is no way I could tell you where abouts they are, how far apart they are or what attractions they have in them.... I'm so going to need help on booksigning day. Someone.... please meet me at the train station...?

EDIT: That's a point, which train station do I need to arrive at?!

[lew]

No worries what station are you heading for, for London

[Vixen]

I'm leaving from either Battle, Warrior Square, or Hastings, but caus eI don't know London, I'd go straight to Charing X.... Is that the right station?

[Deleted]

I know I'll probably be doing Waterloo and then hopefully heading toward the tube to Bank and heading towards the City and then towards Diagon Alley Leadenhall Market place thing.

[maureen]

There's a really good one across the Thames from Waterloo. I think it's called the Prince or Princess of Wales. I took my parents there last year for lunch when they were visiting. Their bangers and mash are delicious.

[lew]

Vix find out and I'll meet you.......or anyone the tubes/railway network hold no fear for me ........gosh maybe a pub on the way and hanging off a tree ;D

hair appointment out the window .......really I mean it, if anyone is worried please let me know......I have a night bus spelling lew

[lymaze]

London Bridge would be a good place to get off Vix. Then straight up to Bank on the tube. As Lew said, we can meet you if you want.

[inky]

there is a pub right next door to the bookshop so you can top up enjoy a quick drink in turns while colleagues keep your place in the queue ;D ;D
