Booked my table, sharing with Henry Flint so on the same table you'll be able to buy artwork from Henry and Carlos.

I'll definatly be there with bells on. Silverbulletcomicbooks.com has a table there. I'm saving money already for a hotel so we can stay from friday through to sunday even though we only live 1/2 an hour away. We want to be able to enjoy the drinking and socialising with everyone. So if any of you are around for the show come to table and say 'hello' :-)

NB: For Bristol attendees:

In case you didn't know, there's a new Wetherspoons pub (opened just before Bristol 2003) very near to the Holiday Inn. Recommend using that as a meeting point rather than the vastly more expensive hotel bars...

Last year I was, for the most part, too embarrassed to go up to people and say, 'you don't know me, but we've chatted on 2000ADonline.  I'm the General.'

Never be embarrassed General. We are all genarally a friendly bunch. Not many of us will bite.

If any of you are interested i am selling off a load of DF type stuff on Ebay to help raise money for our hotel room. Just look up anything for sale by thecolumist (yes it is mis-spelt). We are having a purge and getting rid of a lot of our Tombraider,Witchblade and other stuff like that.

Be seeing you.

Get a badge with board name and icon on!  I hear it works really well!

(If you're not too embarassed to wear it, that is)

That depends on how big your badge is!

Bit of a difference between the approx size of a pound coin and Death dustbin-lid shield!!

(Only joking Dud, the badge looked fine.)

Might get myself a t-shirt made.  Better than a nerdy badge anyday ;)

That sounds like the Knight's Templar, just behind Bristol Temple Meads railway station. (The grocer's apostrophe is Wetherspoons' fault, not mine!)
