Oh all right then, if you insist.

Welcome to the world of frivolous verbiage.

Morning chaps.

Greatest sales pitch ever.

Andrew's Brummagem odyssey. Glad Villa chose to enhance your weekend by actually winning for a change.

Did you end up going? A friend of mine went and said the mart is definitely dying which is a shame. Didnt you use to be a dealer there? I was indeed, for many years. I wouldn't say it was dying, more like comics have been superceded by other collectibles. That said, there are less specialist dealers than there were. My gripe was that there were no new punters turning up...it was generally the same people every time. Still worth attending though. What he said was there were less specialist dealers like you said but also its getting smaller with only 2 rooms being occupied. By the way whats up with your website. When i click on the link i taken into realms of fantasy. Sounds like a worthwhile link. The two rooms occupy the same square footage that the previous three room layout did - there hasn't been a reduction in the amount of dealer tables. It is mostly the cheaper stuff that shifts there these days, with the high end comics being sidelined somewhat (a lot of the tables are exclusively DVDs and merchandise). Which is why I stopped setting up there. And I shut down my website in February, 2011. I do miss having it, but I decided to move on. So is your inventory just siting there gathering dust or have you sold it all to another dealer or collector as i heard you had some nice stock. Neither.

I hear they are charging punters £5 for early entry (i.e. before noon).

Bacon butties I'll have you know

Morning cake scoffers.

It's on. I may turn up.

Part 2... Eccles cakes, Pontefract cakes, Kendal Mint Cake, Uncle Joe's Mint Balls, Hovis. A bit more palatable. We like our cakes.

A special UK thread Happy Birthday to one of the cornerstones of the boards - Andrew, who no doubt is out seeing a gig tonight having been for a chicken parmo beforehand. Hope all was great!

All for the love of a Craig CSS. (thumbs u
