A cunning bluff. Blue will have to hold off to that MANTA Force stuff for you for another year.
(In all seriousness get better soon!)

Been up since 1am wheezing with lurgy. Had a shower to try to get some energy to make it to train but knackered. Not well enough for 6 hours on train. Not happy.  -Ralph Nooooo! Martin |

So remaining chaps.... what shall we do about tomorrow? I would think an hour is about what I'd manage at the show. I will fit in with whatever you want to do. Is it just us and Matt, now? Happy to visit the Death Fortress during daylight hours if that's the consensus. I have TPBs to return to you, and can also hand Ralph's RG1 hardback over to you assuming you're likely to see him before me. Martin |

Yes, but a day return from Cardiff isn't much.

If you want to go on your own, we can ignore each other and avoid making eye contact, just let me know.
I should arrive in Swindon 9:30ish and so should be in the Lego queue before 10.
But I don't carry a mobile phone, so who knows what will really happen???

OK, we have a plan.
I will try my best to get there for 9:30
If I don't, do you remember how to get to me by bus? #5 bus from just under rail bridge and round the corner. Going to Bourne Rd. Cross the rd, Then turn right up Wickdown ave, right into Abbey view, then 2 lefts into Baydon Close
Will pm matt my mobile #

Could I also have your mobile number, please, Phil, in case I can't find you or Matt?
Last time I looked there were still such things as payphones in shopping arcades.

My train gets in at 10ish so I will probably be there half 10??
Phil has my phone number. I will use MIND POWERS to communicate with Martin!

Incredibly I made it there this morning!
Even more incredibly they let us in ten mins early!
Highlights:
War of the Worlds town and harbour diorama.
Echo base with a snowspeeder flying in and out the hanger on railway track & motor
Blacktron 2 Starbase
The amazing Ball Contraption
Matt has photos, will post later.
Nowehere near as crowded as in past years. Lasted 90 mins. Traffic was starting to get nasty as we came out.

The Great Ball Contraption was glorious.
Usual wonderful hospitality at the Death Fortress.
Nice to meet Blueshift's pal, Aaron, though he was no Ralph Substitute. Get well soon!

Thunderchi-e-i-e-i-e-iiiiiiiild!
There were ships all shapes and sizes
Scattered out along the bay
And I thought I heard her calling
As the steamer pulled away...
right, right, RIGHT. That's going on the stereo now.
