I <3 Neil

Just been to the dentists. No problems, remarkable dental hygiene, blah, blah, blah. Go to pay my thirty-five pounds. Put my card into the chip and PIN machine and the receptionist SNAPS MY CARD. Whoops. And no, I've never seen that happen before either. I did laugh rather a lot - what else can you do! And then she says to me - you'll not be spending much money tonight will you. You're quite right - NO I WON'T. D'oh. And I've just had the pleasure of being cut off twice while phoning the bank to get a new card.

In other news, casirafics just posted this fabulous Neil Gaiman quote from Locus on the topic of potential Good Omens sequels:

"We'd probably use Crowley and Aziraphale because they are just such a wonderful device, a lovely authorial creation -- they work very well. On the other hand, I have to say, we now live in a universe in which we are now competing for ownership of C & A with several hundred thousand young ladies who like to write about their erotic adventures on the Internet. Crowley and Aziraphale slash is apparently something that anybody who's bored of writing about sexual high jinks at Hogwarts nips over and does something with our favorite demon and angel...."

ETA: From featureannounce - "Changed the upload userpic form so the "Make this your default picture" option is not selected by default". Yay! That used to piss me off a disproportionate amount.

Hey, why have you changed your comment pages to this view? I like the layout view!

Also, how are we going to know when Peg 2 tickets go on sale? Is says nothing at the website!

It was getting annoying when there were loads of comments because I made the layout too narrow (annoyingly so in fact - I remembered the reason I don't like my layout to be fixed width). I'll probably change it back again at some point.

Aaaargh - I've just poked around on the website and look - they're on sale here: http://www.wolfevents.de/catalognew/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=66 Looks like there are still some of the first 300 left.

Oh crap. I think the man at the bank said my card had been cancelled so that they can send me a new one.

I can buy them! Since it's online that's easy! I just texted you about it. Should I buy 2 now? We have to get 'em asap so we can go to the meet & greet!

I bought them! 2 tickets. I only paid £175 so I assume we're in the first 300. It says ticket numbers will be allocated as soon as payment is recieved so hopefully they'll take payment soon and we will definitely be in there. Excitement!
