Yeh, I went again. This time to Bristol. A two and a half hour train journey away. That was full of broken trains and manic connections!

First off, we were meant to catch the 8.49 from Leics to New Street. I’d arranged to catch this with Rhys who I found out lived in Leicester . The train had broken down further up the line so we didn’t get going until ten past nine. We then just made it in time to make our connection at New Street where we joined up with Carl.

When we found the Big W we went inside and found that Analie and her Mum, Lorainne, were already there and we made sure that the Big W head man knew that we were first in the line. We played ball outside in our little pen, some volleyball, sang B.I.N.G.O. (okay, I didn’t join in!) and I kept taking Analie in to look round the shop as she was getting cold!

When the cast came in we were first in line and got to sing Happy Birthday to Meryl.We later got her a card too as we’re nice and all signed it.

As I got to the table I handed in my framed picture for which I wanted them to keep and I had my black & white one that I kept for the cast to sign. She seemed really impressed with it (I imagine it’ll end up in a bin at Cloud 9 though .)

I got to meet Matt who plays Slade, the new Series 5 (I have to admit I’ve not seen any S5 yet!) dude. He’s from Reading or something here in the UK and he’s a sound chap. Then it was the usual six. I corrected Trudy on getting my name wrong and she seemed really appologetic. They were all really impressed with my photo thing I’d done.

We then sat in Burger King behind the cast as there wasn’t any room in front really. I stood and spoke with Saranne and Emily for most of the afternoon. They’re really cool people. I must not insult Emily anymore, she’s quite a capable Admin. It’s quite odd to know that she frequents MoleTalk from time to time . Discussed everything from cast leaving to the German magazine and they let a few hints slip. *lips sealed though* Dave The Driver kept telling us to sit down and actually had a go at me and Analie for sitting on a table. We told Saranne about this and she said that he does that to all of them as well. I asked for a group shot of us true fans. She said she’d see what she could do!

Guess what? We got a group shot!!! Myself, Carl, Analie, Shabbs, Rhys all got to get in on the shot. It was nice. We got hugs and shook hands with all the cast and some of them had even remembered my name as Matt said to me “Thanks for coming, Brett, it was good to see you.” I was shocked as not many people remember my name.

They then left and we watched them leave the building and had a long train jouney again with a mad connection change. We litterally ran from one train to the other as the doors were closing.

Another good day! Thank you to Saranne for organising everything and for talking to us and stuffs.
