Paul Album Signing HMV London Friday 18th Oct.
-
I wouldn't ever bother. Too much of a crap-shoot. Why risk being disappointed?

Those ladies need to grow up.
awwww i think you guys are a bit mean and judgemental (though if it was me i wouldn't go running to the papers!) - they did queue for 18 hours, which for his last 2 UK signings was more than enough, if it was you you'd be gutted (though not run to the papers!) you know you would. But yes with this signing it was made clear that only the comp winners would be guarenteed, so it was a unique occasion and different to usual signings (but without those 60 winners the other 60 queuers would have got in!). It bugs me on here when people seem to spout that 18 hours was nowhere near enough to queue, it has been in the past so that's prob where these 2 got their info from
Sorry if I do sound mean but they are making it seem like it's all Paul's fault when these two grown women made the choice to travel all that way with no guarentee they would get to meet Paul then they go running to the press to make Paul seem like an a hole.

..not laughing at them- well, I can see their point a bit.. the travel part.. they didn't get there early enuff~ does that make them super fans?
"super-fan" status (which is a dumb qualifier anyway
has nothing to do with how early someone queued up. What if Person #1 in the reserve queue had been there 5 days early, and the queue was STILL cut off after Paul had signed for the 60 competition winners? HMV never guaranteed that even one person would be signed after those first 60 people. Most people assumed Paul would stay, but what if he didn't? I do feel badly for people who were disappointed, but it was at their own risk.

Agreed. This is what really ticks me off about some people. They are the ones that made the choice to spend the time and money to go to this signing when there was no guarentee they would get in to meet Paul. And Paul is the one that gets blamed for it. He didn't make them travel all that way or promise they would get in to get a signature.
I agree with both of you!

I was 8 behind macarrow so probably got signed at 4.47ish. When I came out I noticed the crowds on either side of the entrance being quiet big and growing and some people across the road. I did not notice one police officer just security staff, I found it difficult to get away and that the pedestrian traffic was sluggish. when I spotted Rachel and was moving to meet her I saw a young girl fall down it looked to me as if she was having a fit, she was with her father, security staff went to help them. Once I got sorted out, a young man helped get the insert back into CD, I was being very cackhanded. I said goodbye to Rachel, Neets was nowhere to be seen and Phil was obviously at this moment singing with Paul. It was then that I noticed 4 Police officers and 2 of those Blunkett blacklegs and that the congestion had got worse, I turned towards the tube and then spoke with someone who had been in the signing and then left at 4.00pm. As I was leaving the store John thingy hammel was coming in, no doubt from assessing the situation outside. I wasn't surprised then when I got home to hear that the signing had ended then or shortly afterwards. The Police's duty is to ensure everyone safety not just those at the signing, Paul's staff is to him and HMV to their staff and customers. If I had been the duty Inspector I would have probably stopped the signing. This is a busy road and pedestrians were spilling out onto it. I found the staff at HMV to be very pleasant and helpful throughout my time there except when they refused to put Cilla on instead of the loop of NEW and some Beatles comp. I am happy I got his autograph and a lovely red cushion. I was the sensible one in a hat, Phil was the other one.

What does "cackhanded" mean?

I have question for those brave/dedicated fans who have camped out and queued overnight for signings about "queue etiquette". If you need to go and get a bite to eat and/or go to the toilet, do you risk losing your place in the queue? Or are people happy to let you back in to your original place? And are you allowed to keep a place for a friend - or is that a no-no?

Having two right hands. You wear large depends and bring buttys.

Depends on the queue mood. Regular Paul queuers are usually very cooperative with co-queuers popping out to get food and take toilet breaks -= often together as it's usually only overnight fast food restaurants such as Burger King and MacDonalds that can offer both. In the past such queues have had an "organiser" rise from the ranks taking names, places and even writing queue place numbers on the wrist in marker pen to keep the queue harmonious. Can anyone from this particular queue feedback on this queue's mood and management? Martin

Don't know her but it looks as if she's just been told how much the signed CD will fetch on eBay! (Only kidding, I hope it's someone from the board getting the opportunity of a lifetime)

Bit of touching up on Paul's face there!

Now why do you say that? I have noticed many times that when he smiles broadly like that, it makes him look so much younger.

Who's caught on film? MartinThe girl crying is my daughter and that's me behind her as she meets Paul, a fantastic experience for us both, a dream come true, I have met Paul a few times, in 2008 at HMV myself and a few very special friends made it our goal for Layla my daughter to meet him. To have that meeting captured on film is unbelievable.

Riggers, how very special.
