To be fair when he did show up (and he clearly did make a serious effort to do so as he was apparently as stressed as hell when he did get there) he was absolutely lovely to my friends and took them taking the piss out of him with good grace. His claim about Bad Wolf is that he was tucked up in bed by 2, got up early enough to travel before realising that it was going to be virtually impossible because of the weather and that his agent gave him the wrong contact details so he couldn't speak to the organisers. Doesn't quite explain how they couldn't contact him unless all the numbers given out by his agent were wrong or why he didn't think to simply contact the hotel but he was apparently suitably contrite.
Doesn't mean I entirely forgive him (Bad Wolf was the only event I have ever come back from feeling completely down rather than elated) but I'm sure this past weekend was enough to get him repeat invites on the Collectormania circuit and at least salvaged something of his reputation.

Sure friend away - very happy for you to!
