Moar reminiscing

Still going thru pics, but my PC is in a bit of a bad way just now... Massive HDD fail

Anyway:

Pesky bloody Charity Auctions!
Much kudos to "Lou and Andy" for being hilarious - Helped to take the sting out of the ridiculously overpriced bar, and the kinda-rubbish-really BBQ...

Malika - Can we please have our Saturday party at the Space Centre next year?
I will offer my services as DJ for the princely sum of "One bottle of Magners cider".
I can sort karaoke, or even Rock Band if folk want it
I'd hope that anyone who was at the ill-fated Collectormania party will vouch for me here :p

Anyway, aye...

HUGE thanks to Gareth for being such a good sport, and to Harry for being evil - for those not aware, the charity auction at the Saturday party had mostly Star Wars items available.

Until Malika appeared with a certain flamethrower kit - Built and painted.

Most of the UKCM were out on the terrace, and when she announced what the lot was, my cunning ploy of turning and shouting "No, you misheard! It's another Star Wars item. Actually, it's a Star TREK item! nothing to see here!" failed.

After the initial bids, though, we were up to my ceiling of £150, and only Gareth, Malika and me were in the game.
I bailed, and Gareth outbid Malika, taking us to £170.
Kat then popped up with £180!
But Gareth went to £190, and we felt we had to bail - Since we were already through out limit by a LOT! ( The only reason we went that high, after initially telling ourselves "£50 to spend on Silly Things this weekend!" was that the BDUs I'd planned to get from Pete were waaay too small for me, so I had the funds from those. )

So, Gareth won.

Then came over to me to apologise for outbidding me - But he thought my limit would have been £200!


And then Gareth proved what a great guy he is by offering to sell me the flamethrower - for my maximum bid.
"Call the other £20 a donation, dude..."

I actually attempted to be sensible at this juncture, since we did have a limit after all, and you should try to stick to your limits.

Then Harry leaned in and whispered "I can help you with the last tiny points that need accurised, if you like."

So, in essence, I had a Gareth shaped devil on one shoulder, and a Harry shaped devil on the other. The pair of them must have jumped the angel, smacked him a few times with a bin-lid, and dumped his corpse over the balcony ( Where it may or may not have hit an overly-sensitive bouncer ).

End result?



I love you guys!

I'm sure there are many more tales of silliness from the Saturday night - Geordi, if we DO ever end up back on that terrace, I think our plan of a pulley system from Wetherspoons is still a sound one. We must implement it!

Anyway, the Sunday event was if anything even better than the Saturday... Much as my voice was REALLY going by that point!

Kat decided that she wanted to try out the Tao Of Bug, and the results were adorable!



I've touched on it elsewhere, but I think by the Sunday, we'd really settled into our roles in the Experience so the odd wee bit of improv worked very well.

The walkround was, as always, great fun - But the photoshoot outside was a wee bit hapharard.
Got the job done in the end, though - Radios next year, Marines? I had to make do with a flak vest, as I'd de-armoured by that stage ( And I've knackered the webbing on my ab pad, so needed gaffataped into it! ).

A last minute idea ( That should have been obvious ) resulted in sore arms for Kat, but this awesome piccie, and another planned costume for next time:



I suspect a Spulse might be in order for her Xmas present, though... Kaylee weighs in at 8.5 kilos with no battery and an empty mag, and that's without the flamethrower taped to her side!

OK, severe "Seat of your pants DJing" there, I'd rather not be under that much pressure again!

To explain : I DJ from CDs when I'm playing regular rock nights.
For more "Specialised" stuff, I use a laptop.
A lot of DJs I know use JUST the laptop, ad carting around 800+ CDs is a bit of a bugger. I don't trust laptops.

Rightly so - My HDD conked out just before the Collectormania party, so I lose the likes of "Star Trekkin", "Doctorin' The Tardis" and some other stuff I've not got on CD.
Then got asked for it.
Repeatedly.

iPhone and Youtube to the rescue, but I was cacking myself in case some sod rang me mid-song!

Thanks for the ups, folks - Much appreciated!

Aircraft Mode! (yes, the Jobsian JesusPhone can fly!!!)

And Backups, x2 or more!

Aircraft Mode would have been great, but I kinda needed net access for what I was doing, so it completely defeated the purpose of the exercise!

I thought Si was taller.....

Could be Jo?

Steve's at least as tall as me and was wearing proper boots. That is Alan/Simon.

We all look the same, huh? Bloody racialists.

But the tail isn't hanging - Looks like it's trailing along the floor... That was my logic.

It is hanging, look closer! Alan's tail is n-shaped. Abe's is u-shaped.

Actually, I just looked closely and saw the twin press-studs on the inside of the hand...

I stand corrected
