Well done Zombieman a fine gig all round...

The only bad thang was the Satanist didn't get in, saw him at the door and then he was gone, he could have sneaked in at the next break  The number of bar's I HAD to go into looking for him...

In no particular order...

Some fine discussions and stories from the panel, Andy Diggles' comments on the rushes he saw of the Dredd movie were very enlightening, John McShane was a fine MC and Ferg handle the first half with aplomb, Mr McNeil remained tight lipped about the next Insurrection tale and I believe Dode C got some praise and constructive crit from the great and the good, Gary Erskine boldly displayed his inner geek and I, I enjoyed myself immensely.

A wee chat with Graeme Neil Reid revealed his plans for HiEx, while Cosh Tips and GRennie were marked absent and given the crap jobs to do

After a finely crafted question from the floor we got to hear about the Cliff Richard 'two words' incident and other censorship crisis at  2k.  The hours fair flew in and before you could say Commando! there was an exedus to Mathers Bar when just before closing time I had the pleasure to hear Megan (?) enchant the remaining old soaks with the voice of a siren
