K-9 Agility, the Ultimate, Interactive TV Quiz and Giant Twister have been amazing! :-) B7 Drinking Game and Torchwood Bingo were wonderful yesterday. Everyone's really enjoying themselves :-) Met up with some friends I only ever see once a year at these things, as well as catching up with a couple of blasts from the past.
The rugby - England, btw, are getting slaughtered! There are loads of fans here with us, not sure how happy they're going to be tonight!
So... Torchwood Bingo, Cyberwoman, started off well, with a couple of people cheating by using the opening credits! I started to realise though that people were waiting for moments, so there were a couple of "Lines" regularly, but when Myfanway attacked the cyberwoman we had LOADS of lines, had to pause the DVD to check them all, got going again and a second later, when Ianto said, "Have some fucking mercy", *everyone* got a line!
B7 Drinking Game, the stars of the moment were John, our very own, who not only kept up the "Ahoy there maties" whenever Tarrant appeared on screen, also did the pirate spying actions to go along with it. And the wonderful lady on the scooter, who drank with every drinking moment, and pulled the greatest three-point turn outside the room at the top of the stairs - we were sure she was going down them!
The Ultimate, Interactive TV Quiz this morning was excellent fun! One point separated the two teams and when they did the Petrolheads parking round, everyone managed it without sexual innuendo, which is more than can be said for when I ran the same quiz at Tellynation ;-)
K-9 Agility, someone completed the course in 45 seconds!! I couldn't do it in three minutes, so I was very impressed. Three people are wondering around with large inflatable trophies and champagne bottles now looking very proud of themselves :-)
The Life On Mars panel was great fun, excellent to get the chance to discuss theories with people, although when me and another lady mentioned how sweet it would be if Sam was there to save Gene and his team, the audience wasn't impressed ;-) Not slashes, apparently.
Giant Twister, the son of a slash writer turned out to be a bit of a star at the Giant Twister boards and it has to be said that the others did start to gang up on him! I've never seen anyone that limber before!! Great fun though, and ::waves:: to Jim. Can I have a Teledu badge yet? ;-)
Tonight should be fun, and England are even pulling back again! COOL! If you're here, come to E21 tonight and say hi! :-)
