Press Release: Statement by G&T Concerning DJ Incident

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ganymede, Sept. 26/JMCNewswire/ - Ganymede & Titan today expressed apologies for an incident at Dimension Jump XIII, in which the words “CRAIG CHARLES CANCELLED” were written by a member of the G&T team on the fanclub noticeboard early on Sunday the 24th September.

Spokesman John Hoare stated “Ganymede & Titan claims responsibility for the attack in the early hours of Sunday morning.

It was purely meant as a joke. We had thought that people would assume that it was drunken twats fucking about, and would not believe the statement to be true.

We regret that it was taken as real by some members attending the convention, and apologise unreservedly for the chaos caused to attendees. In future, we will use a codeword system to communicate directly with fanclub members.”

Notes to Editors

Ganymede & Titan is a Red Dwarf fansite, run by a breakaway faction of the Red Dwarf fan community. For more information see http://www.ganymede.tv/about.

Dimension Jump is the yearly Red Dwarf convention, organised by the Official Red Dwarf Fanclub. For more information see http://www.reddwarffanclub.com.

John Hoare is a cunt.

John you don’t know how tempting it is to just insert this silently into the pile of copy at work. I could get you into 30 papers before anyone even caught it.

Of course I’d be out of a job once they DID catch it. But I just love to see your little face light up…

Ah it wasn’t! Symes must have changed it after I nagged him last week. Also seems my browser has cached the page with the previous error.

Oh, the *about* page! Sorry, I thought you meant this “article”.

Anyway, I’ve just fixed it for you.

I’m sorry but I’ve got to admit, i found that Craig Charles thing to be hilarious. and the question mark was just making it worse, so technically who ever put the Question Mark there make it much worse.

We had been walking about in the frigging woods for nearly 2 and a half hours, we hadn’t had a room booked so we can only say it was out of sheer frustration of lack of sleep that we did that. I still thought we should have put Craig Charles Cancelled (crossed out) Appearing (crossed out) cancelled (crossed out) appearing and THEN a Question mark. That would have been funny.

Well that’s my two cents in there.

I’m off to bed. night!!!!!

ok i’ll stay up to write this bit. I cant’ believe this got noticed, of all things!!!

the fact that so many people mentioned it………..

i’ll stop now..

Ah, well, that’s because YOU are one of the guilty party! I was fast asleep on the sofa at the time, so my conscience is clear as crystal…

PR…that’s also my initials. So I’m sort of a PR^2. Considering my job and my hobbies, though, my name is far too punny for my tastes.
