My son David and I had a great day out at Collectormania
We went on the Saturday of the four day event. Though enjoyable it was a tiring day my
feet were still aching the next day as we walked quite a bit going home walking to back to
the Railway station, though it was interesting to see the city of Milton Keynes.
The first thing that surprised us when we arrived was that the event was right in the
middle of Milton Keynes shopping centre I expected a separate hall, so it was also crowded
with all the usual Saturday shoppers.
Bumped into my friends, Meesh, Matti and Wendy straight away. Yes Meesh David has grown
since the Wolf SG5 convention !
While eating our lunch we saw James, Phil and Darran. James and Phil who some people will
remember from some of the Wolf cons were dressed as a Ghostbusters!
At first I thought the huge queue we saw was for Corin but it was for John Rhys Davis next
to him, I saw him as we waited to chat to Corin he's lost a lot of weight, nothing like
Arturo from Sliders anymore!
Corin was wearing a leather jacket and his hair is longer and softer with a fringe, quite
different from the recent look as Jonas, I gave him a packet of Jaffa Cakes which he had
heard of but never eaten before.
Jaffa cakes are a British delicacy, a cross between a cookie and a cake. A sponge base
with orange jelly [Jell-O] covered with dark chocolate. Yummy :-)

I told Corin how much I liked the character of Jonas and how he'd made us laugh, but by
now I was getting very flustered, I don't normally have this type of reaction but I was
totally bowled over, he is gorgeous!!!
I asked him about season 7 and he's in 3 episodes one of which he wrote.
I brought a picture which he signed I've scanned it and you can see it here....

Took a couple of photos, shook his hand and left.
Saw the girls again in the queue for another guest and I was quite beside myself. The only
other actor that gave me this reaction was Robert Leeshock of Earth Final conflict,
certainly Michael Shanks didn't have that effect on me!
I've calmed down now, but was an enjoyable moment in a fairly good day.
It's such a shame he won't be at Wolf SG6 convention, he would have been a great guest.
