    I appreciate everyone's concern, I had a tad over dramatic moment where the plumbing blew up and very nearly ruined the house... then as I got really busy I forgot about that tweet and didn't tweet for a while - I'm a doofus, which incidentally a lot of you found out tonight!

    Was a please meeting some old and new faces!

    What was stranger was seeing people wearing my tshirts! I'm so gutted I can't get along for the rest of the weekend to see everyone else, I promise next year I'll be there....

    ...AND IN THE FORGE!

    And also I know want those combiners @tikgnat

    The prints I was going to bring along this weekend I'll put up for sale next week at special 'I should have been at TFN rates'

    Adios guys!

    Edit

    ALSO

    @nice sideburns im hugely sorry about my blonde moment where you introduced yourself and I thought you were complimenting my facial hair hahahaha!!!

    Almost as bad as when I embarrassed myself saying hello to Thew....or Larrydraws....

    Bah! I knew I'd forgotten something! They're in the wind, mate, they'll have been picked up in this morning's collection because Thursday was my day off but I was so SLoooooooOW (slept in waaay late unintentionally and just couldn't seem to get going, possibly return to work from Holiday mode decompression) that I missed the Thursday aft pickup. Should be with you tomorrow or Monday depending on postal alacrity!

    Kinda pissed off, I didn't get to see any of the panels I planned to see on friday:

    Wanted to see the lucky draw panel which is why I came early, trouble with rooms plus 10 year old niece meant I missed it.

    Planned to go to the Brave panel, too packed have to see it tomorrow.

    Planned to see Thews panel, decided to rest up before hand, fell asleep and slept all the way through till 22:30.

    Now to be honest I needed the rest, I just had two days straight of hemodialysis, and a bit of a trip to get to the convention, still suck that for the second year in a row I didn't do anything on day one.

    Back at my hotel now but let me know what you are wearing/where you are tomorrow.

    @PAPY OPTI: glad to hear you are on the mend and home for your boys b'day.

    @jame5y: don't sweat it! I was probably mumbling like I normally do, hence the confusion. It was nice to meet you, albeit briefly!

    @PAPY OPTI hope you have a speedy recovery and you & your son enjoy his birthday

    Just to remind everyone at TFN, sharing pictures of your purchases are pretty much mandatory. I'm a bit gutted I'm not there. But if it's so successful then there'll be one next year for sure. Can't wait.

    @PAPY OPTI - get well soon brother. You deserve some much better luck and right quick. Have a great day with your Son.

    The rest of you lucky bar-stewards? Enjoy and perform mighty deeds that will live long in the memory of a West Midlands guest house. Next year I'll get along for the Saturday.

    Day two in Peterborough, all asleep, I'm awake trying to figure out the wifi. With only a Minibot as backup. And I miss my Robots. Ah me.

    This Dude will cheer me up on my return. Why Hastak wouldn't make one is beyond me.......

    Mmmmm uurgggh... whussat?

    12:30 at the bar then near 2:00 at mine chatting. Basically a longer Pube which was great. Met a fair few people yesterday, but apparently Loosecannon came and sat down with us? Dude say something to me! I had no idea you were there!

    Anyway hanging with friends was great but the highlight was when I was waiting to go up in the lift Geoff Senior comes out the lift and he recognised me after the really nice chat we had months ago where we were out with drinks! Yay! So yes, I will be bothering him later today for a chat.

    Looking forward to today, I have my shopping list and I am eager to browse! Tonight also promises to be epic.

    Anyway same outfit as yesterday (still brown, still Chinese, will be wearing a new blue sleeveless wife beater though). Say hello if you see me! I answer to 'tikgnat', 'Kit' and 'hey you!'. Anyway I'm typing this after just finishing breakfast.

    I shall now retire to my room and have a shower and freshen ul... don't wanna be 'that' stinky Transfan eh?
