Re: Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
I'm afraid the reason there is no information on the websites yet, is because the powers that be haven't confirmed dates, etc. Do keep checking back on the websites. I will also put another message on this forum to give you all the final details. We are expecting it to be in October. And it will be an online auction. Of course US fans can bid.
I hope this helps.

Re: Re: Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
Thanks for the info and explanation. I am afraid my testiness was due to frustration at knowing I would forget the auction because of all the other stuff I have to remember----if I couldn't write a date in my book, pfft! gone from memory.
It was also just a bad day all around.
Thanks for offering to come back and remind us of the date!

Re: Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
Ah, so the challenge is offered....we'll see, Nickie, we'll see. (evil laughter, bwahahaha)
Actually, I am pretty interested in getting the book of postcards too. I could do for a little bit of quieter, simpler times.
I wonder what Alan would write on the postcard? "Wish you were here"?
Don't I know it.

Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!

Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
Hi,
Finally I have news about the celebrity postcard auction where you can purchase a postcard from Alan Davies, amongst other comedians, actors, musicians, etc (check out the list, at www.abadie.co.uk/postcards/sponsors.htm, you never know, you may want another one!) All the proceeds go to Carers UK.
Thank you for your patience but I'm afraid you need a little more because the powers that be have decided to not do the auction until the beginning of December!
DATE: 1-7th December 2007
VENUE: EBAY (of course, where else!)

Pass it on.
Thank you.

Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
Hi All,
Well I'm afraid to say I will be competing for this too. Sorry other fans. I did win a couple of the Jonathan Creek videos on e-bay last year but have still not got over losing to a man over Alan's union flag boxers. Just putting the dates in the diary now.
So I need to try and win this to esuage the negative feelings about my past failure
Hey BTW Nickie (I think it was you), the lady you said spoke to you when you were writing a reply and I didn't believe you and asked you if you were taking something. I would like to make a public apology, as I just heard her saya something, although she hasn't carried on talking.
Forgive me
Helen

Hi All,
Actually regarding the Dynamic character speaking lady at the top of the writing area. There is more fun to be had when you realise that she looks wherever you drag your mouse.

Hi
Bumping this one up to the top with a silly post, as this thread is a good cause.
Nickie, I just showed my 14yr old daughter the lady who speaks, and she called my "stupid" and a "child underneath". She wasn't entertained by it at all.

Hi Amy,

Your daughter needs to spend a week or so with me, helen!!Now if these youngsters only had a hoop and stick to play with like when I was a youth(and you only got the stick if it was your birthdaY!!), they'd learn to appreciate Robot Woman for the miracle of modern science that she is!I sound like one of the Grumpy Old Women now, but at least this thread is back at the top of the page!!

Hi Everyone!
Just to let you all know the auction has started. Don't forget anyone else that you know who secretly, or otherwise, is a fan of someone on the list. It would make the unique christmas present of the year!
Thanks and good luck!

Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!

Re: Re: get a postcard from ALAN DAVIES!
Well, Nickie, I would fight you for it, but I have issues with ebay, unfortunately.
Please let us know if you win....which I am sure you will (let us know, that is). Gloat, gloat...:-)
