It's that time of year again, Preston Comic Con 2017 has come around. We had booked our tickets well in advance, and glad we did, so many people turned up on the day to stand and wait for tickets to get in......  Anyway this is the second time we have been and this year it had grown a little bit more which is good, still a long way to go to compete with the larger venues that I see online but nice to be there.  Here's a good handful of images that I took, unfortunately I'm having problems with my camera lately and these are the ones that I have managed to crop and edit to share, think it's time to look for a new camera.  Still a good time was had, saw some great cosplay, and the boys picked up some cool custom lego figures which I will have to do a post on.

Just about got through all the media I added to my tablet and phone in July, so time to add some new stuff to listen, read and watch... TV: Bottom: Series 1 (1991) "Gas" 24 September 1991 - After accidentally beating up the Gas Man, Richie and Eddie must remove an illegal gas pipe without disturbing their violent neighbour. "Contest" 1 October 1991 - After Eddie spends their £11.80 dole on a second-hand copy of Parade, the pair place a bet on the "Miss World" contest. "Apocalypse" 8 October 1991 - After receiving £600 from his auntie's will, Richie ends up receiving a curse from a Gypsy fortune teller. "'S Up" 15 October 1991 - Richie and Eddie are left in charge of their landlord's shop. "Accident" 29 October 1991 - Richie breaks his leg, but is determined not to let it spoil his birthday celebration. "Smells" 17 September 1991 - Richie and Eddie take advantage of a revolutionary new sex-s...

It was a very busy month August. I guess being part of the school summer holidays helps to make it that bit more busier, but we really didn't stop much at all......  From walks with the dog, car-boot, tenpin bowling, airshow, a tv show recording, fun days out and so much more...

I'm a bit of a fan of Stranger Things being of that age that was the early 80's, all things Goonies, E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind( I know this is more late 70's, but still me). Anyway loved the first season and so looking forward to what they can do with the second.  They have just released 12 character posters.

Well they have been dropping hints that something big was coming for the 1st of September and they were not wrong.....  With 7,541 pieces in total it's the biggest Lego model they have ever sold, but at £650 UK, I don't think it will be making its way to our house sadly.
