I didn't know where else to post this, but i hoped here more of you would stumble upon it than if i posted it elsewhere... Oh, and apologies for not being around for a while, you know how it is  Anyway, yeah...exciting David stalking news... David is going to be at the Midlands Collectormania event, in Birmingham, on Saturday the 18th of April. He will be signing autgraphs and posing for photos. Here is the website if any of you are close enough geographically to get there at such short notice; www.collectormaniamidlands.com/faq.php?queuesI've just this minute booked my tickets and am...ooh...just a tad excited ;D Anyone got any suggestions as to what to say/wear/give him? As filthy as you like, i have no shame  ETA: I've just seen Lilly posted this a while back...sorry for repeating it...but still...yay! |

Oh, and apologies for not being around for a while, you know how it is Aw, that's okay, hon. I went all *clappy hands* when I saw you had posted again. Though will Romana ever grace us with her presence once more? I've been a bit concerned about her (why, how dare she Have A Life?).  I can imagine you are! Heckola yeah, who wouldn't be? Apart from my own reaction [/shameless pimping of own post], when my friend originally told me he would be attending, he asked, "Anything you want me to say to him?" I could only respond that unless he grabs Mr. Morrissey and snogs the hell out of him on my behalf, there would really be no point, since all words are wholly inadequate. (When he understandably objected to doing so, I sniffed, "That's okay, it wouldn't be worth it unless someone took pictures anyway...") And having once encountered a celebrated goalie who thought he could grope my bum without my permission--no, I didn't deck him, though I did say, "You do that again, you pull back a bloody stump"--I'm by no means in favour of randomly assaulting famosos, either. Again, I'm sure the poor fella has enough to contend with already. I should think making 'big sad mad cow eyes' at him would be sufficient, actually. Must remember to tell my friend that...cos yeah, that wouldn't be creepy at all, right? *rolls eyes at self* Nah, I should think being your own sweet self should be fine, actually. Be cool, and remember he's just another guy (while remaining inwardly cognizant that he's a rather extraordinary one)...for gawd's sake don't mention this place, though!  That's okay, hon. I'm still so happy for you getting to go, and expect a thoroughly detailed report afterwards! |

Hahaha! I better not mention this place...he might think we were deranged or something. Not that we, in any way, shape or form, are.
I've met a few British actors and comedians over the past few years, and usually manage to maintain my composure...except when i met Neil Pearson (from Drop The Dead Donkey if anyone remembers that...Google him...) when i went to pieces, forgot my own name, and as i was walking away said to my friend, "why didn't i just ask him if he'd let me have his babies" only to find he was stood behind me!
Hopefully i'll think of something...i'm going to take my Blackpool boxset for him to sign (all being well) and perhaps that will engage us in a conversation about the wonderful Ripley Holden ;D
Fingers crossed i'll have an exciting tale...and hopefully a photo...to post soon afterwards. The convention is about a 2 and a half hour drive from my home so i'm hoping he's gonna be worth it. Ahh, who am i kidding? Of course he'll be worth it!!

Nah, of course not *whistles idly with hands in pockets* Good idea...I dunno bout you, but I'd otherwise be the kind who would be too shy to actually be capable of stringing a coherent set of words together  Wishing you luck! Am most certainly sure it will be worth it *thumbs up* ;D kitty  |

Nah, of course not *whistles idly with hands in pockets* Or as I have found myself thinking rather frequently of late, "And yes, all this bespeaks naught but the highest level of psychological health on my part, right?" Possibly apropos of that, a friend's brother recently said something at Twitter about wishing his life was as glamorous as the celebrities he follows therein, and I was compelled to comment, "The only difference between you and celebrities is that they have more money and less privacy. PERIOD. Trust me, zero glamour's involved." In other words...again, he's just a guy. My completely unsolicited advice is to bravado your way through it and then have a complete fangirly meltdown once you're safely out of range. except when i met Neil Pearson (from Drop The Dead Donkey if anyone remembers that...Google him...) when i went to pieces, forgot my own name, and as i was walking away said to my friend, "why didn't i just ask him if he'd let me have his babies" only to find he was stood behind me! LOL! So what happened then? Did he offer up a DNA sample post-haste?  Once more, your report eagerly anticipated, and a photo? Even better! *clappy hands* |

Aw, I knows that...I attribute my awkwardness/shyness to not being adept at small talky situations, such as signings and appearances. I'd be polite, just wouldn't say much...LOL. However, if it were like the 'Derailed' scenario, where you've got time one-on-one with said person, well, that'd be a very different story... kitty |

Yeah, my apologies if I came off all like even more of a jaded, patronising git than usual. Definitely wasn't my intention by any means...  *enquiring glance* Hmmm, so exactly how would that conversation go, missy? Nudge-nudge, wink-wink... Quite honestly, if I attended those sorts of things, I'd probably just make fun of his current haircut. *points, laughs* "Dude what is up with that? Playing a convict, are we?" Sorry, it's just what I do... |

Well if it was in Melbourne, we'd start with a discussion bout the weather, LOL! Geez, I dunno.....*places potential story idea on backburner* If you accompanied me for moral support, I might just have the cajones to make mention of the Captain Haddock idea kitty |

Cos I'm sure he gets enough of that already, too, not to mention that given your own vast petiteness--gee, Lilly, oxymoron much?--nearly everyone is liable to experience completely different atmospheric conditions than your shortarse self anyway... *makes note to find old Calvin Klein boots that make me about 5'11" for just such occasions* Geographical distances notwithstanding, that sounds most definitely like a plan, and a date. |

In that case I might just ask him to loan me some oxygen while he's up there Well, next time we can conspire to be in London at the same time We'd probably be like the two old men on the Muppets, sitting back being heckler-like and such, agitating him into making cookie-related faces at us ;D kitty |

"Why are those two girls pointing and laughing at me? What did I ever do to them, huh?" (Oh, pally, if you only knew...) |

Anyone going to see our gorgeously attractive David is SO lucky --
Don't forget to notice his strong masculine hands --

Don't forget to notice his strong masculine hands -- LMAO! I can only applaud the single-minded intensity of your avid interest there, m'dear. (With my own fairly small, girly hands, as it happens.) We keep this up, though, the fine folks at Collectormania may be inclined to employ a specific security detail just to be on the lookout for any crazed fangirls who either stare at his hands or indeed, merely bring him cookies... |

Ladies and jellyspoons, it is with great sadness that i tell you all that David cancelled his appearance at Collectormania. He cited "family commitments" and i'm just hoping it's nothing horrible. Although i was wondering if it had something to do with Clement Freud's death this week...he was Esther (David's wife)'s uncle... Anywhoo, i wasn't too disappointed, without being too "Mystic Meg" i did have a funny feeling i wasn't going to meet him today, and i said as much yesterday to a friend of mine. But it was a good couple of hours nonetheless. I didn't bother paying for anyone else's autographs as it was really only David i had gone to see. But i had a wander round the stalls, bought a lovely picture of David in the Doctor Who Christmas special, and a picture of David Tennant in 'Loves Labours Lost', which i went to see in Stratford-Upon-Avon. I also bought a HUGE Full Monty cinema poster, 2 smaller photos of Robert Carlyle (my first and truest love) - a still from "51st State" and a black and white promo photo he did a few years back. Oh, and a "Breakfast Club" coaster We also had good fun with a man who was dressed as Spiderman who was walking round, and 2 men dressed as aliens from...errr...some alien film. Who were quite scary actually. So all in all, a bit of a wasted trip, but still a good laugh and i picked up a few goodies which are now adorning my walls. David is supposed to be rescheduling his appearance, so keep an eye out UK people, because it might be nearer to you next time. As for me, i'm sure my time will come...one day... |
