True to form, and for the 2nd time I was 'escorted from the premises' by the Olympia Gestapo on Saturday evening. They had already told me before that I wasn't welcome after Karina Clarke got her tits out last year, and they consequently refused me a pass for this year! Of course I just got a pass off Hustler anyway. The organiser was not at all happy about that. I admit I may have exacerbated the problem somewhat by proceeding to call the organisers' nephew a complete tosser for not sending me a pass in the first place. Walkie talkies were subsequently produced, Godfather-ish comments were mumbled: 'no-one insults my family' etc., and moments later 2 extras from The Matrix appeared, took my pass off me, and chucked me out! On returning to Dover Towers I spent Saturday night packing shoeboxes with presents to be sent out to Orphanages in Eastern Europe; something we do every Christmas. Suddenly everything was back in perspective.

Find out the next time these people plan to go abroad, then a quick phone call should ensure the snap of a rubber glove and a cavity search......Oh how they'll laugh in years to come.

Groucho's crack, about not wanting to be a member of any club that would have him as a member, seems appropriate.
Their loss..................

Actually Savvos is a nasty greedy little prick - a soul brother of Sullivan et al.
This year's show was not as good as last year because he wanted to squeeze every ounce of space.
He then banned several well-kown faces from having a stand because they had "upset" him in some way,- like exhibiting in places he had no financial interest!
The prices are a minor example of his greed, but totally annoying neverlethess and leave us not forget that he makes a great bulk of his ill-gotten gains from door money.
Exhibitors stand for it because it is "The only game in Town"
Having tried to fight my way through the crowds to see my pals/contacts, I gave up and retired to the upstairs bar reserved for "Trade" only.
At least it was peaceful, but on a personal note, would you believe they had NO SCOTCH!!!!!!!!!
I was reduced to drinking jack Daniels until the bar staff -God Bless 'Em, took pity on me after my gentle moanings (NOT their fault) and went and liberated a bottle of the dew.
HOWEVER, my alcoholic preferences aside, it is a general indication of the way this clown runs a business..
