Dimension Jump XV

[Trena]

Well wasn’t that a nice, if amateurish event.

Topic

[Seb Patrick]

Just name the wheres and whens. All of Team G&T are in London except for Danny, so there’s a start.

[redhead85]

We went to a pub in London Bridge last time which seemed to suit as we were all eastenders ^__^ Twas called The Southwark Tavern – we reserved a cell downstairs. Was good fun

[hummingbird]

I’d love to meet up again, but I’m not in London either.
Still, if you could arrange it for a weekend and someone would let me kip on their sofa ….

[Tarka Dal]

Sheffield, has no particular relevance to Red Dwarf at all of course. However it’s where myself and Si mong about and I’ve plenty of room. It’s sort of like a Birmingham for the north.

[redhead85]

Weekends before Christmas might be difficult for me but you’re more than welcome to kip in our spare room if we organise a weekend in Jan or something

[hummingbird]

Thanks, hun. That would be lovely.

I’ve room for a couple of people on the Wirral. Handy for Liverpool – we could have a few drinks at the pub formerly known as the Aigburth Arms.

[Andrew]

Anyone else having Marleen’s avatar image come up as unloadable?

[ori-STUDFARM]

Yes, unloadable on mine too.

My opinion of the schedule changes over the weekend (for what they’re worth!) Loved them. I’d accidently booked a train ticket a couple of hours too early and would have missed Chloe’s appearance. Her early arrival on stage was such a relief. When I read that Craig, Danny and Chloe would all be on in the morning, I was so relieved!

Other changes were fine. I easily spotted changes, the update boards were clearly displayed. Only worry I had was when Hattie didn’t do her signing and we knew she had to leave Saturday. What a trooper to return the way she did! I think I love Hattie!

[TheLeen]

It’s broken. I’ll replace it. Tomorrow.

[Seb Patrick]

>I?ve room for a couple of people on the Wirral.

“The Wirral”? Tut tut. I’ve heard pedantic sorts say it’s either just “Wirral” or “the Wirral peninsula” ;-)

(hence the excellent Half Man Half Biscuit lyric : I didn’t take much time convincin’ her / Baby, I’m from the Wirral Peninsula)

I’m from Crosby, by the way, and will be back there for a bit over Christmas. So if any northerners did fancy an Aigburth Arms trip, it might be possible to swing. Even though venturing anywhere south of Town scares me.

[hummingbird]

Sounds good. Give me a shout when you’re in town.

> I?ve heard pedantic sorts say …. ?the Wirral peninsula?

That’s the same people who claim it’s in Cheshire.

[TheLeen]

The Coventry.

It had to be said.

Again.

Hummingbird, check your email…

[Tarka Dal]

> So if any northerners did fancy an Aigburth Arms trip,

Actually me and Dangerman talked about doing another Aigburth meet. Curtis the friendly neighbourhood Ray Fiennes lookalike would probably tag along too.

[Dave]

>would be nice to have a larger London gathering to meet more new RD peeps

Sounds good to me

[Jo]

>The Coventry

As you can see it was quite a small event.

[Ian Symes]

A shame it was the last one.

[Tarka Dal]

Me like.

[Danny Stephenson]

Karl: ?

Please refer to your DJXV booklet for further details…

[Tarka Dal]

Ah which idiot wrote that then?

[Anonymous]

Maybe, just maybe, one day I’ll actually have the opportunity to go to one of these things.

Sounds awesome, and I’ll avidly feed off your experiences.

Keep them coming.

[Joey TORDFC]

Count me in faw shaw.

[Trena]

Can I join in? I live in Manchester and I wore a funny t-shirt at the convention.

[Gwynnie]

I live in Manchester too. We have Curtis Threadgold and Matt (can’t spell his surname off the top of my head) and probably lots more. You can all come to my birthday piss-up in December too!
And re: next DJ, yeah, I will be in Japan for a year teaching English! Which will be awesome but missing DJ will make me very sad. I promise to make up for it at the one after that!!

[Trena]

I think I’ll dress up as a solo Sensational Reverse Brother for the 2010 convention.

Rimmer Reverse, Kryten Reverse and me… Treppo Reverse.

[Carlito]

So you’d be the Sensational Reverse Only-Child?

[Trena]

Thereabouts, or I could dress up as an almagamation of every character Tony Hawks has played.

Should be interesting to choose which part of my body adorns Caligulas toga.

[hummingbird]

I’m more concerned about which part gets to be the vending machine.

[Dave]

>So you?d be the Sensational Reverse Only-Child?

It will involve being given a refund and asked never to return to the Holiday Inn Birmingham ever again.

[Ben Paddon]

So according to the Facebook invite I just got, DJ XVI will coincide with the San Diego Comic-Con. That’s pretty silly. I don’t care if they’re in different countries, that’s still bloody madness.

[Jonathan Capps]

Is it ‘madness ‘because you’re likely to be the only person affected by this clash?

[Seb Patrick]

Dammit, I was hoping to go to SDCC next year, as well.

Still, though, “bloody madness”? Bit harsh. I can’t imagine there’s a MASSIVE crossover of people who’d go to both (what with them being on different sides of the Atlantic, and all).

[Ben Paddon]

It’s madness for me. I make money off of one, so I know what my choice will be. A shame really as I was planning to go to DJ next year.

[Seb Patrick]

No offence, though, Ben, but DJ isn’t structured around you. It’s annoying for you, but it’s not “bloody madness” for TORDFC to pick an available date in the summer that happens to clash with things that people in another country might be doing.

[redhead85]

THIS IS SPARTA!

Sorry, couldn’t resist adding to ‘the drama’.

[Danny Stephenson]

[TheLeen]

LOL

[Gwynnie]

I can’t go so… as long as DJXVII isn’t also while I’m in Japan, ie before March 2010, it’l be OK! I can’t see them being that condensed, but hey.

[Seb Patrick]

[redhead85]

The PG version of 300 for those of you with weak dispositions. Mind you, not sure if they exist here on G&T…

[hummingbird]

Much love.

[Jo]

I assume you mean March 2011? But yeah, it won’t be that soon after DJXVI, I can assure you! It’ll most likely be at least 12 months between DJXVI and DJXVII.

[Carlito]

The demand will be high. There will likely have been a brand new series of Red Dwarf aired between Dimension Jump XVI and XVII.

Just realised how nice it is to write those words.

[Ben Paddon]

I submit to you that Dimension Jump should be structured around me. In fact with the addition of a single word at the end it could quite happily become a convention about my webcomic.

[Trena]

I thought four words had to be added to the end of the event name.

…off a cliff, Benny.

[Ridley]

In fact with the addition of a single word at the end it could quite happily become a convention about my webcomic.

With blackjack! And hookers!

[Danny Stephenson]

In fact, forget the blackjack.

[redhead85]

Ah screw the whole thing
