Good point. Where's the nearest Wetherspoon? I can think of one about ten minutes trot down along Kingsway. Any nearer? Ten minutes? That's like a different time zone. Will see if I can come up with one of my "short cuts" ...

I'm there, and I know Justin is. Now if someone felt like taking a few pics and loading them, that would be good...

Who for? Crimewatch? [/quote] Wish I was there - it's about time I spent another night in the lock-up.

I have to work Saturday night, so probably won't get down there until nigh on 11.00 A.M. - hopefully Dem, Justin and Mr. Bugg won't have snapped up all the filth quality literature by then!

Most likely fall through door about same time as you, Sev, as will be malingering at local market for a bit first. Word is, there's at least a possibility of a few more Vault desperadoes making the event.

Cromagnonman has every intention of being there.
Being an exercise in excavation and extraction he shall be found attired in regulation archaeological clobber: leather jacket, big hat, bullwhip. Should any vaulter come across such a figure, probably loitering furtively in the vicinity of the John Norman paperbacks, please don't be embarras.. shy about introducing yourselves. He doesn't bite. Except under a full moon, obviously.

Except under a full moon, obviously. Long straggly hair now falling out at alarming rate, otherwise as above. May have hit on you for spare change at station five minutes earlier. Bottom line. If you see something really ropey looking and initial reaction is "Holy f--k, I hope that's not him!" it will be me. (thanks to my PR team at Stones Net) *May have to shoot off around 1.30-ish, but otherwise, looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Magnum Man. If notable absence of unpleasant looking types, ask on PF stall which pub/ off licence/ park bench/ graveyard we've absconded to.*

I Will be attending too, despite extortionate one day travelcard price (can remember when it used to be £10). National Express to victoria + using oyster would be cheaper, but sod's law, they've sold out of returns. planned outfit - Black Jeans, boots, sisters of mercy t-shirt, black lether trenchcoat & black fedora, generally looks ropey

Special event, special company. The fact that several stragglers had to be booted out at 3pm suggests this was very much the success organisers Neil & Kim deserved - at most previous fairs virtually everyone has trooped off homeward/ pubward/ graveward by midday. Many thanks to Anna Taborska, Justin, Severance, H. P. Saucecraft and Martin 'Rumble' Heaphy for the pleasure of their company. Sadly, no Fanatic stall - evidently I read too much into an email - and disappointed we never got to meet Cromagnum Man or Nigel Taylor who, I believe, were in attendance? LOADS of stalls, prices beginning at £2 and rising though the ceiling (even billionaires would troop away skint) but great fun browsing for bargains, and I doubt anyone came away empty handed. Special thanks to the young Polish street-cleaner who kindly looked up the address for me when I got hopelessly lost in Bloomsbury (memo to self: it helps when you're distributing flyers to keep one for yourself, you sad bastard). Wound up in old haunt The Princess Louise with Mr. Saucecraft for a few pints - maybe we should use that one as our fair local? Thought the hall-size was ideal - hope the Royal National becomes the regular venue. More when vicious attack of man-flu/ chronic hangover have eased some. Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all concerned for a wonderful afternoon.

At last! I was beginning to fear no one made it. My faint hopes of getting to Lunnon were dashed but I'm glad the hard core turned out.

I so hope it becomes an annual event and that you can make the next one. Great atmosphere, very welcoming, though some of the prices are ... a bit steep. Saw a pile of Richard Allen's going for either £15 or £20 a pop - can't remember which, had to look away fast. C. Birkin now evidently trendy so expect to pay arm, leg and torso for everything which is grimly hilarious - time was you couldn't give his stuff away (let's go back to that time). Gregory Pendennis now considered "collectable" - a mint Bottoms Up, To Lucifer! changed hands under the counter for 15p. The everything-at-£2 stall did plenty trade and there were plenty good bargains to be had elsewhere. Main thing was, meeting up with Sev, Anna, Justin, H. P. Saucecraft and Martin again, plus chatting with a variety of dealers and punters. I think we will like the Royal National.

As I believe I have mentioned previously, I am convinced that until quite recently he had never existed. I am sure I had never heard of him before I found this board---and I am a moderately well-read man!
