Morning all,

Some of you may remember me from the Topps boards? 

Anyway, thought I'd pop by to say that Christopher Lee is signing at the Radisson Edwardian in Heathrow on Saturday 20th January.  It appears to be linked to the London Expo event, but he will sign things other than his CD  (no Dracula or Space 1999).  The catch?  You have to buy the CD from his website to get entry    There are only 300 tickets available (up to 3 autos each), and some of those were used up by the Expo attendees.

Details are here

Cheers,

TFG

Cool - are you going? Ed's going to be there too

Give me a shout when you've heard his CD

[The Flying Gribble]

Yeah, I'm hoping to go.  I have my CD and letter in hand.  Just need to arrange it so that family commitments don't clash.  I'll probably end up going later, say 3.30ish, rather than wait in a queue for hours beforehand.  They say that since the tickets are limited and pre-allocated, you are guaranteed to get the autos.

The CD was "interesting"......  I may say more after I have the autos 

You never know who's watching!

[Roz]

Righto - do you have "the autos"?

Do tell more now

[The Flying Gribble]

OK.  It's safe now.... 

I think it's quite possibly the worst CD I have ever bought.  There was only one track I could bear to listen to a second time.  I was going to inflict it on my friends at our gaming night tomorrow, but I'm not sure I'd be welcome back again!!

Having said that, meeting the man himself was worth the aural pain.  He was graciousness personified and took the time to chat, despite us being warned up front that he would not answer questions.  He seemed astonished when he saw the collection in my book, making comments about a few of the people there.  Apparently Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger have just had twins!  The only drawback was that they were playing the CD in the background whilst queuing 

See ya round
