The last thing I wan't to do is turn the homeless of Leeds in to some form of freakshow and that was not my intent. With hindsight, he probably was just some poor soul, down on his luck. Vincent

A little story about my return trip from the Irish Discworld Convention*: After several hours travelling by plane (twice), train (once), bus (once) taxi (once) and ox cart (nonce), I found myself at Leeds railway station at 01:30am. There were very few people there, everything was shut and...

Hi, I've tried them on a number of different pcs; At best, my blu-ray drive actually recognises there is a disk there, but can't open any of the pdfs. Most just sit there, flickering their little lights, doing nothing. Vincent

Hi, I bought the cd-roms of the early Fortean Times on pdf when they were first issued (issues 1-30, plus the occasional papers in one case). Every now and then I've dipped in to it to read an issue, but I've recently come back to the set to find that the first two cds have died on me; I can't...

Hi, Looking at the original post, it would seem that another connecting factor, apart from the owls, is that both events took place on/near a bridge. Perhaps the bad omen here is the bridge, not the owl, and the owls are trying to warn you about them! :D Vincent

"What do you mean 'Alien'?" - Room service guy, 'Paul'. :)

:shock: Police Officer: "Okay Mr. Pope, if you'd like to point out the alien who probed you" Nick Pope: "Can you ask number 3 to raise his index finger"

The most vivid dream I had recently was quite odd. I don't drive in real life, but in the dream I had gone on holiday to a coastal town and had driven there. At the beginning of the dream I was sat in the car in a carpark, on the opposite side of the road to a harbour or marina. There was no...

As for who/what I'd like to see at UnCon, you can't go wrong with Jan Bondeson; his talks are always entertaining. Jan being a Who, rather than a What. :-D An update on the almasty investigation would be good too. What became of those samples? Last UnCon, we had electronic aura readings...

I'd like to see an UnCon outside London. While I realise London is easy to get to it is a bit expensive, especially if you have a long way to travel. I nominate my home town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. It has a reputation as a conference centre, is easy to get to being close to both Leeds...

Hi, If there is going to be an UnCon 2009, I think it would be a good idea for there to be a book/one-off magazine produced to tie in with it. A collection of articles by all the speakers, based on their talks.; perhaps in the same format as the "It Happened To Me" 'bookazine'. It would be...
