Well I'm off to the memorabilia show tomorrow with my mate Kell. We go every year and spend some well earned cash. This year, well Sunday actually is the 45th Anniversary of Doctor Who and there is some guests turning up. Here is a link to who will be there.

Plus stall after stall of geeky things to buy. I have my eye on some comics and you normally get good deals on DVD's posters and collectibles.
Will post a report on Saturday night or Sunday morning and hopefully some photo's if we get the chance. I will of course be wearing my Treks in Sci Fi T-Shirt with pride.
Have a great time Meds.. takes lots of pictures... show your geekiness to with world.. be proud and stand tall.
Have a great time Meds you lucky Git. See if you can make a Kennyesque audio report, that would be uber cool mate.
Odd that they'd hold this 'in the North' isn't it? ,)
Have a good time...I'm not jealous...much!
Ok well back from our trip to the Memorabilia show (up North ;) ) and we had a great time. I did (as suggested by the mighty Tim) a report via my recorder on my mobile but alas when played back all you can hear is background noise. Anyway we arrived at around 11.15 and i took some photo's of various people dressed up for our (and their) amusement (see below), we grabbed our tickets and ventured in. It was rammed with people so we decided to go in the opposite direction and go and see who was signed merchandise. Well we saw William Moseley from The Narnia films, Warwick Davis from The Star Wars/ Potter films, Jeremy Bulloch who is Boba Fett, Lindsay Wagner who looked stunning considering her age and Julian Glover how was in Dr Who and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. We didn't bother to go and meet anyone because they were charging the usual £20 for an autograph and i wanted to spend my money on goodies.
The place was packed with stall after stall with trading cards, figures, models, books, comics, annuals, posters, t-shirts and collectibles. It is mainly dominated by Star Wars items which do get a bit repetitive if i am honest but every now and again you see some gems like some early Trek figures and i saw a great set of ST Motion Picture figures in their original packing. I ended up buying a 1:18 scale General Lee model, The Indiana Jones book on all 4 films (the one Rico reviewed) a book on Patrick Mcgoohan and we got a free DVD set called City of Villains.
Anyway myself and my mate Kelly had a great time, here are a few photo's.
Awesome pictures! :D
And a few more.
Thanks Jen, i used my mobile phone so they are a bit blurred.
Great pixs.. and I love the chops.
Ha ha thanks Kenny, Just for you, Jen and Rick ;)
Great stuff! Looks like fun!
These are great pics, Meds! My personal favorites are the one of the TARDIS (of course) and Rocketman (a very blurry, yet memorable part of my childhood).
The TARDIS is good...but some guy's got in the way of it ;)
Yeah, some guy with dodgy muttons. ;D
Hair i know is something you only dream about aye Heston ;)
You have a bit of Hugh Jackman Wolverine thing going there, Meds... :)

Nice pics Meds. I dig your mutton chops.
Gott grow some big ones ofr when wolverine comes out, hey thats an idea for a thread everyone groew big muttons for the wolverine film, and ladies throw some false ones on, we'll take pictures and put them up.
I'm afraid at my rate of hair growth, I may have to join the ladies! :)
A bit of velcro might work!
Anything will do , just think that would be such a laugh, who can do the best wolverine impression, come on !!!
Oh I'm in.. I did that when the first Xmen came out.. I had some pretty sweet chops.
Yay nice one Kenny, i reckon you'll have the winning chops, this will be fun.
