BOOK SIGNING - 3 APRIL

[ladyshaniique08]

I know, Laura is so talented

I first seen them on FB with Jeremy and Stiggie on it too (the knitted ones, of course )

[ulstermayniac]

Aww, I would love a knitted Jeremy! So cuddly!

[KiwiMonkey]

I got them to write on my DVD sleeve "Happy Birthday Fathead" ;D
Oz asked me whether I was a fathead which made me laugh. I think most of the people I had lunch with can verify I am indeed a fathead
Oz then said James is the role model for fatheads

A little while after that Shani got there so I joined her in the queue as she was nervous and went through with her. I asked Oz if he had twitter... He really confused me, he said "I didn't have it yesterday" and showed me a list of things which were his tweets. So I'm not sure

Then James recognised that I had been round before and jokingly told me to "hop it" then said "are you going to join the queue again".... *thud* They spoke to me



*wibble*

[maureen]

I have one pic I can add here, but the other two will have to go to MP.



I had a wonderful time with all of you. I'm glad travel plans went well and we were all able to meet up and hang out. I have to say, by the time me and Starfish got to the end of the queue, my mouth and throat were dry (like when you're about to give a speech, if you're like me), I was shaking, and my heart was beating like a rabbit. Once I made it over to them and gave them their goody bags, I was alot more at ease. I said, "I hope you two like orange chocolate" and they did. Then I also told them that MD and Jacqui said to say hi, even though I struggled to get the words out. Oz is a real sweetheart and James reminded me of one of my very best friends who manages my usual garage. They were wonderful. I don't know if they realised I snuck behind them for a pic, since they were both busy, but you'll see it shortly and MF has one of us too. The rest of the time, all of us hung around to take more pics and chat while we watched how it went. At one point, James looked over in my direction with that, "You're still here" look, while Daisy, Korri, MF, and I were chatting. Before they left, I'm glad I looked up in time, since I was checking my phone to see if XJ tried to get in touch. He waved at us before he left. I was so glad I went. We had a great time at the pizza parlor upstairs too. I left shortly after MF and called Vix on the way back home. It was a day out that I'd be glad to relive. YES!!!

Here is the knitted Jeremy, UM

[Mayfayre]

You're nowhere near as much of a fathead as the waitress, who managed to put a tray of drinks down half on & half off the table, then pick up the drinks that were on the bit of the tray that was on the table... I almost caught it in time, but only almost

[ulstermayniac]

Awww.

[jacqui]

Glad you all had a great day ;D
Thanks for the "Hi" Mojo.
;D

[maureen]

That was pretty funny. I'm just glad she gave Korri a fresh one.

[maureen]

You're very welcome, Jacqui. You have no idea how dry my mouth was at that point.

[maureen]

I can't believe how forgetful I can be. I'm not sure if one of you told them who I was, but Oz goes, "You're Maureen, aren't you?" *does Twilight Zone music* Then he handed my cover over to James after we talked and he signed it and Oz said, "Do you want 'to Maureen' on it too?" Sure. He handed it over to James and said, "Here you can put that in." He said something else to James, but I couldn't make it out. Then James asked me to "Mind the ink", since I almost touched and smeared it. Oops. I couldn't thank them enough. Sweethearts, both of them.

[ladyshaniique08]

Ooo, lucky you Mojo

I'm shy and Oz said in a funny tone of 'Shani'?

I hope James remembered my name as I will come back!

He knows you

[maureen]

I don't know how. I found that very strange too, especially since neither of them asked or (I don't believe) neither of them knew what I looked like that I know of. Scary! Scary!

[ulstermayniac]

Spooky. Do you have stalkers?

[maureen]

This is a still Husband took with the video camera.

[maureen]

Hope not! *goes into hiding*

[tui]

Posted a link pretty much all the pics i took today over in MP ;D

[KiwiMonkey]

Sir Trevor ;D

[TheDaisy]

Just got back in. Woo! I had a fabby day - best day out in a LONG time.
I asked to have 'Happy Birthday' written in my book, as it's an early birthday present from Mamet, and Oz said 'Who's it for?' I said, it's for me, and he laughed and said, you're buying your own birthday present? I said, no, my mother gave me the money to buy it, and he told me I had to give her the penny change back (as if ;D)
They were both luvverly, as were all the 'ladies wot lunch'.
Amy, you'll be pleased to know that XJ and I found a mini beach after you'd gone! But we didn't go down to it, as it looked a bit ming.

[KiwiMonkey]

Wehaay, I told you it was the sea ;D

You can't have a beach without the sea

[starfish]

I had a great day. it was nice meeting boardies I knew & had met before & a couple I hadnt met. Oz & James arrived fasionably late. They kept their public waiting. lol. Thanks to mayfayre for her generosity as always taking pics for us all. I asked a guy to take a photo of me with Oz & james it turns out it diesn't exist. lol he must have pressed the wrong button my fault I should have showed him. I am guilty of buying them each a chocolate bunny. & I gave James the biscuits as well. I think he needs feeding up. ha. James certainly was tucking into the sweeties today. I have taken video but please bare with me as I will probably put them up after Easter as am busy over the hols. Here are a couple of piccies in the meantime. Sorry if they are small photobucket wont let me make them any bigger which is a shame. From Starfish.

[ulstermayniac]

Lovely!! Also, if you go into your photobucket and the bit where you upload your images, there should be a link there to decide what level you want to have your images set at. I keep mine to 1gb per pic size, that way you can upload big ones and they won't be shrunk on you.

[starfish]

Thanks for the advice ulster. hopefully its worked if it has then I know what to do. This is the best pic I took of the day.

[ulstermayniac]

Aww. you're welcome. And it worked perfectly. It is a beautiful photo, very well taken. Looks like he still has a bit of a poorly eye though. And he's going grey very nicely.

[starfish]

Have I made it too big now? I am not good at this resizing lark sorry.
