The gift that keeps on giving

January 22nd, 2010 · Posted by Skuds in Life · 2 Comments · Life

I am still reading the Atheist’s Guide to Christmas.   I was already chuffed about the autograph and message from Ariane Sherine in the front, and had just greatly enjoyed the Richard Dawkins PG Wodehouse spoof and the Simon Singh contribution when I turned the page and found that the first page of the Phil Plait bit had a Xmas message written in there by Phil Plait.

I don’t know if the brother-in-law managed to ambush any more writers while he was at the TAM event in London.  I have resisted the temptation to flick through for any more signatures – if there are any more they will be a pleasant surprise when I find them.  Even if there are not any more, it was still a nice delayed bonus, but Charlie Brooker or AC Grayling would be nice…  not that I can imagine CB at the event.

Maybe I’ll get mr Wongablog to sign the ‘thank you’ page when I next see him ;)

    Thought I’d leave The Bad Astronomer there as a surprise signature – no clues on whether there’s any more!
    There is serious talk now of a TAM London 2010 – if there is I hope it’s at a bigger venue where you can actually sit down for lunch!
