Slight Changes

Hi all,

Just a quick note to point out two slight time changes to the UK dates-  at Southampton and Guildford- to make sure that readers have enough time to get to the events.

For the Irish dates, we're checking when most schools are back in Kilkenny and Newbridge. Both signings were originally scheduled to happen in the middle of the day- but if the schools are back in session by then, we might move those start times to 3 PM. I'll keep you posted.

Oh, and for all those people asking for a Belfast signing, you now have your wish...

The changes have been made to the post below.

WHAT'S YOUR DEDICATION KALLIE?!

Niamhy Jay said...

I AM GOOD :D
*hugs*
How are you Kallie?!

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm ok. FINALLY writing again but ah well. You?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Kal

*thought of something else to say but has now forgotten it*

Colleen McGuigan said...

I might take some of my SP drawings and give them to Derek. My art folder is overflowing, so It needs cleared out :P And then I'll get my KOTW signed, and I shall be a happy little girl from Northern Ireland for the rest of my life :) Oh, and I was in Lusk a few days ago, I had to stop at the AppleGreen Service station to get some Tayto :P I was going to England for a few days, and since I can't LIVE without Tayto, I bout like a billion bags to take with me on the boat :P Well, okay, I only had one bag, as my brother ate them all. The little gobshite...

Noelle said...

Hey Kallie! *hugs*
whats up???

Niamhy Jay said...

YOU ARE SUCH A NORN IRON GIRL!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

awww, good ded Kal!

Niamhy Jay said...

LOVE YOU KALLISTA PENDRAGON THE THIEF IN BLACK :D

flaring rhythm said...

WHOOP WHOOP NORN IRON!

Noelle said...

*raises glass* hear hear!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

Bril ded Kal!!!

Colleen McGuigan said...

I wish I lived in Dublin, or Belfast or Killarney or Cork or Galway... Anywhere but Armagh. It SUCKS. Bit of advice to anyone looking to visit Armagh... Don't. Unless you're Derek Landy, coming to give out free unicorns with Skulduggery books for wings or something... But yeah, all we are good for is Apples. Meh... Well, the country side is good, I suppose. Which is where I live... But the town is RUBBISH. We don't even have a bookshop. No Easons. No Waterstones. We had a Bargain Books, but it shut down within three weeks, because I was it's only customer. I think they got annoyed with me constantly asking for them to put Skulduggery Books on the shelves... :P

Noelle said...

OMG!! I WENT TO GALWAY AND KILLARNEY!!!!!!

Noelle said...

and Belfast... and Dublin...

Niamhy Jay said...

LoL
I live near Crummy Ballymena.
Look up Ballymena on Urban Dictionary it is a pretty accurate Description!

Colleen McGuigan said...

I've been to all the counties in Ireland :) ACHEIVEMENT! ;) I got my dog Belle in Ballymena :) Do you know anyone who breeds Rhodesian Ridgebacks? 'Cus if so, that's who I bought my dog off :)

Niamhy Jay said...

Nope. I live in the Country side so yeah.
:P

Colleen McGuigan said...

And Killarney is BEAUTIFUL. I'm moving there when I'm 18, simple as. Lovely place, it's as if all of it is in the country side, just covered in mountains. Ahhh... I love it there, I've been 1..2..3..4..5..6..7 Times!! :P Hehe :P

Noelle said...

brb!!

Lynxia Lost said...

K Adra.

Niamhy Jay said...

I take it you have been to Killarney Lake??

OH HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE SONG 'IF YOU'RE IRISH'?

flaring rhythm said...

My littler brother goes to school in Ballymena! Cambridge House Grammar School?

Niamhy Jay said...

It's no longer a Grammar school
It got stripped of that status because of bad GCSE and A-Level results.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok Adra!

flaring rhythm said...

Dayum! I didn't even know that and my wee brother goes there... :L

Niamhy Jay said...

*hugs Kal back* It's okay

@Flaring I was shocked when I learned that back in like May time

flaring rhythm said...

I heard about the bad results, but I didn't know it was stripped of the grammar school title...the same'll probably happen at my school next year, cause my year is about to do their GCSE's and it's not going to go down too well...

Colleen McGuigan said...

Look at us Irish people, saying 'Wee' ;) :P Anybody else from Northern Ireland here they're family saying 'That's CAT!!' When somethings terrible, or is that an Armagh thing...? My dad always says 'Gobshite' :P Hehe :P Oh, and I must not forget the 'Ol 'Feck off and Gimma Head Peace!!' (Pronounced: Feck off an' gimma Hayd Pace!!' :P Haha, gotta love Irish Slang :P

Niamhy Jay said...

My school is a Grammar school.
Our Principal is really putting our school into debt the bloody idiot.

Lynxia Lost said...

You should see the looks I get at school. I'm originally from Stoke so I picked up all the dialect and slang there like 'mither' for bother and other stuff. I use them at school up here and I get 'WTF did she say?' looks.

Niamhy Jay said...

In County Antrim we farmer ones say 'Get te Fuck' Pronounced 'Get te Fock' :P

flaring rhythm said...

LOL my dad ALWAYS says gobshite it is hilarious :'D Irish slang is great :'D Anyone watch Ms Brown's Boys?

flaring rhythm said...

*Mrs

Niamhy Jay said...

YES!!
SUCH AN IRISH SHOW!!
I LOVE IT!!

flaring rhythm said...

SAME!!! Oh my god, it's hilarious :'D And on the subject of idiot principals, too. Our headmaster is a. Complete. Eejit. I go to Belfast Royal Academy and uggggghh I love the school but some of their ideas are ridiculous!

Colleen McGuigan said...

NJ. My God. I love ANTRIM!! We say that too!! :D My school was the top school in NI, we are little Smarty Pants :P It's not posh, though, anyone can get in, you should see some of the weirdo's in it! :P It's called St Catherines College? It's an all girls school, apart from the boy's in the IMU. But, once I was walking about the Library, being a nerd, and I saw a poster for SP. And under it said- 'Derek Landy, the author of the best selling Skulduggery Pleasant series, may be visiting us soon. The librarian has been contacting his publishers, and we may be getting a visit within the next few years. Watch this space...' I SCREAMED. Then Summer started, and I don't think Derek will be visiting... :( Oh well, I'm still going to Belfast :D YAY!! :D

Lynxia Lost said...

Sorry guys but I don't like it. I don't find it very funny. Anyone here watch Blackadder? I doubt you will, it's quite old but really good! 2nd and 3rd series are best.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im going to go and sleep now

bye all!

Georgina Howlett said...

Dear Derek,

Firstly, you're gonna get mauled at Liverpool by the trio known as your Wife, your Irrepressible Beast and your Adored Dear.

Then repeat this (hopefully) at the newly added Belfast signing.

We apologise for what shall be on our T-Shirts should we actually have them ready.

The Adored Dear

flaring rhythm said...

I LOVE BLACKADDER!

Niamhy Jay said...

I go to St Louis Grammar in Ballymena.
We were in something like the top 20 in N.I I think. I'm not sure, can't remember :L

Niamhy Jay said...

I have never seen Blackadder

flaring rhythm said...

COUNTY ANTRIM, YEOOOO. We say "keep 'er lit" as well ;)

Lynxia Lost said...

You need to!! It's amazing!!

'Those long winter evenings must just fly by' is my favourite quote. Series 2, episode: Head!

Colleen McGuigan said...

EEGIT!! :D AHHAHAHA! My pricipal is weird. She walks with her fead tilted to the side. But the worst teacher is my technology teacher. Put it this way... He is a bigger ass hole than Sanguine. AND SANGUINE KILLED SKULDUGGERYS FAMILY!!! D': He actually called me DISABLED becuase I couldn't do my homework and have the smallest bit of dyslexia. He dodges all the parent teacher meetings and is the biggest GOBSHITE ever. The only thing I like about that teacher is that his daughter is A Skulduggery Fan... Not as big a fan as me, but still... :P And Father Ted is my FAVOURITE TV show!! xD And Ardal O'Hanlon MUST. BE. DESMOND. EDGLEY. IF. SP. BECOMES. A. FILM. NO QUESTION!!! :)

flaring rhythm said...

Look up Blackadder on YouTube, it's brilliant :') THE ENDING OF THE LAST EPISODE IS SO SAD! D: does anyone watch the Monty Python movies?

Colleen McGuigan said...

Keep 'Er lit is my fave!! :D

Luciana said...

What kind of things are there in Liverpool? Like attractions-wise?

Blackadder is awesome, by the way. I have them all on DVD. And the Christmas special. Which is awesome.

Niamhy Jay said...

Serpine killed SP's family. :P

KEEP 'ER LIT!!

I still can't believe Selena Gomez said Keep IT lit!!

Niamhy Jay said...

EVANNA LYNCH OR I SHOULD BE CLARABELLE!!
:P

Colleen McGuigan said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unGtpBP83as&feature=related
Just... Perfect... !! :D

Lynxia Lost said...

The last episode nearly made me cry!! :(

I have them all on DVD too!!!!

flaring rhythm said...

I have no idea what there is in Liverpool! But I'm going to the signing there anyway and then going to the Belfast one, too xD So glad they added a Belfast on! Oh God, I can't believe Selena Gomez did that..awkwaaaaarrrd.

Luciana said...

Hello, by the way.

Oh! Livvy is here! Hello, Oliviaaaaaaa. C:

Niamhy Jay said...

HEY LUCIANA!! *hugs*

Colleen McGuigan said...

My dad was like 'What the feck is she doing saying KEEP IT LIT?!?!' I was laughing!! :P

flaring rhythm said...

HEYY GUUUURL! how're you?!

Luciana said...

Heyyyyy, gurlllll, heyyyyyy. I'm great, thanks. YOUUUU?

HEY, NJ! *hugs back*

Lynxia Lost said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dABo_DCIdpM&feature=related

^^ LOL!

Colleen McGuigan said...

Lynxia?! Are you phsycic!? I was just watching that! :P I'm from NI, though, and I sound more like his R.O.I Impression, but the rest where cool :)

Lynxia Lost said...

I have always told everyone I'm psychic but no one ever believes me!!

Colleen McGuigan said...

Haha! :P

Niamhy Jay said...

Guys Derek has a new post.

Colleen McGuigan said...

This line of Marina and the Diamonds' Song: The Outsider really reminds me of Skulduggery for some reason:
'Don't get on my bad side,
I can work a gun...' :D

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, but what about an AMERICA signing?

Panda Bear said...

Yes, yes YES !!!!!!!!! Yayyyy im able to go now cus im getting off school an hour early ! YAYYYY :)

Drew O'Connor said...

Good idea Kallie, I hope everyone else realises it too

Niamhy Jay said...

Hello?
Anyone here?

Drew O'Connor said...

I am here.

*waves frantically*

I'm here.

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Em
*hugs*
How are you??

Drew O'Connor said...

Heya NJ, I'm okay

God we haven't talked in a while lol

Oh I was meant to say to you and to Kallie, that if you ever have any queries or questions about my story, you can always email me @

emeraldmelody89@gmail.com

I'm glad you are enjoying my story. I wasn't sure about the last chapter but it seems like a success

Niamhy Jay said...

Speaking of your story, any sign of Part 12 coming around soon??
I hope Ellie doesnt leave Drew. I hope she loves him enough to stick around no matter what.
*hint hint*
:P

Drew O'Connor said...

Cheeky lol

I'm writing it as we speak

What did you think of the banter between Ellie and Deacon in part 11?

Niamhy Jay said...

I think it was really good!
and I got the impression Ellie doesn't like Deacon very much.
I don't blame her, I don't like deacon either :P

Drew O'Connor said...

That's my job done then lol

No one is meant to like Deacon either.

I suppose Ellie doesn't like his confidence, that it's too sure of itself to even have a weakness

Niamhy Jay said...

Aww I love Ellie, she's lovely!
I love Nigel too. That is one of the Coolest warlocks I have ever seen. He is up there with Magnus Bane out of The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices :D

Drew O'Connor said...

Wow that's a compliment!!!

Totally wasn't expecting that.

I loved how shocked you were, when I introduced their sister. I actually laughed when I saw your comment NJ lol

Niamhy Jay said...

Yeah. LoL! I am glad I put a smile on your face with that. :P
I like Rebecca!
I love how she is able to be tough with Drew yet still show she loves and cares for him.

Niamhy Jay said...

Kallie! *hugs*
Which have you read? Mortal Instruments or Infernal Devices or both?!

Drew O'Connor said...

I forgot to tell you the other day Kallie

If you have any queries or questions you can always email me

emeraldmelody89@gmail.com

I will answer anything.

I'm glad you both like Nigel :) And it really is such a compliment that Nigel is just as good as Magnus Bane :)

Niamhy Jay said...

I take it you read Cassandra Clare then.
Which ones have you read?
I've read both.

Luciana said...

Hello.

Drew O'Connor said...

I've read both Infernal and Mortal

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Luce!
*hugs*
How're you??

@Em: Who do you prefer, Clary or Tessa?

Luciana said...

Hello. *hugs back*
I've been better. *shrugs* I'm only here to check everyone is OK and stuff. Then I am off, again.

Niamhy Jay said...

I'm alright. :)

Drew O'Connor said...

I prefer Tessa.

Clary reminds me too much of Bella from Twilight sometimes.

All is well Lu, thanks for the check :)

Niamhy Jay said...

What's wrong Luce??
*hugs*
njmaverick@hotmail.co.uk

Here's my email if you wanna talk. Any of you.

Niamhy Jay said...

Same here Em. I also Prefer Will to Jace.
I love Jem as well but not as much as Will. I don't know why, I just do.

Luciana said...

I'll check my e-mails, then I am off to read.
*hugs everyone* I really miss you guys. I hope I can bring myself to return properly soon! If you need me this week feel free to e-mail me. I won't be here at all next week, though. I guess you can party then. *laughs bitterly*
Anyway, talk to you guys in a couple of weeks. I love you all and I'd hate for you to let someone get the better of you. *hugs everyone tightly* I love you all so much and I will miss you more than you could imagine. <3

Bye-bye, now. I refuse to ever say goodbye, to you guys. You'll always be with me. Right here *points to left side of chest*
*realises her heart is in the middle of her chest*
*points to her heart*
There. Yep. That's where I mean.
*nods* Yeah. That's right. Isn't it?

Anyway, I hope to talk to you all soon! <3

Niamhy Jay said...

*hugs Luce*
Take care you yourself and I hope to speak to you soon!
Might get to talk to you on Twitter.
Bye
*hugs again and reluctantly let's go*

Drew O'Connor said...

God that was heartbreaking :(

Niamhy Jay said...

She'll be back Em *hugs*

Niamhy Jay said...

*looks around*
Hello?

Lord Vlaedr said...

Im so close to the front... Yet so far...

Maybe Derek The Master will see me?????????????????

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!

I will not continue bruising my self esteem by roaring at the best writer in this world.

So I will leave... And check tomorrow if he answered....

One more time!

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Vlaedr!

Niamhy Jay said...

Its okay Kal *hugs*
And I can't. I'm on my iPod and my brothers using the Laptop.

Drew O'Connor said...

Damn it, the whole thing has come to a halt!

I am about to bash my brain off the wall.

I can't believe this is happening again.

Niamhy Jay said...

Em what's wrong?!
*hugs her*

Drew O'Connor said...

I can't write any more of my story.

It has come to a grinding halt, I can't see where I'm going next.

Niamhy Jay said...

Do you want some help?

E-mail what you have so far of a general summary of what is happening to me. I could maybe help if you want :)

Niamhy Jay said...

Drew O'Connor said...

Give me 2 secs NJ

Niamhy Jay said...

Okay :)

Drew O'Connor said...

You should be getting mail coming your way soon NJ

Niamhy Jay said...

Drew O'Connor said...

Ye have gone very quiet NJ

I wonder what has you distracted ;)

Niamhy Jay said...

I am in the middle of SENDING the E-mail.

Drew O'Connor said...

I'm gonna hit the hay and let my brain rest.

Goodnight everyone and anyone who is on the blog xx

Niamhy Jay said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oh well, got to go anyway

bye to anyone thats here

Eve the ROCK said...

I see we're all talking here instead. I'll be a good little sheep then...

CALAMITY, I am so with you on your rant topic! My friend wouldn't even KNOW about Skulduggery or ANYTHING if I hadn't told her. I agree that it's not about who's the biggest fan, but it's hard to stick with that when your friend IS doing the 'biggest fan' thing. I have no choice but to kick her a** in the Skulduggery Fan Competition xD

Eve the ROCK said...

Hmmm... You know, I find it easier to not do the biggest fan competition when the other Skulduggery fan was a fan before I even met them. Like you guys! I don't feel pressure to be the biggest fan because we are all the same species of Fan. :)

Selena Gasp said...

I am a cat monger. I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool!

Selena Gasp said...

Oh Man its to lATE! LOL

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

I just watched Coronation street! It was exciting! Kevin is Molly's kids father, and Molly just died and Molly's husband who split up with her moments before the explosion and tram derailing is Kevin's best friend! Will he find out about molly's affair? Peter is going to live and fizzes baby might die and Colin's double life might be found out and sally, Kevin's wife knows about his affair and this blonde lady who's name slipped my mind has bought back her sisters baby, using secret money!

Selena Gasp said...
