Birmingham England Book Signing
It appears that WHSmiths had the same poicy as the Oxford Street gig. I arrived 1620'ish and missed Ozzy Entrance as the que was over 100 m long and I was at the end. After 2 hours I had moved about 20 meters! Then management told us that as things were going very slow there was NO chance to meet ozzy, so we have a refund or leave our details so that we can get a signed piece of paper actually signed by Ozzy. So that is what i did. However, I did take some HD camcorda footage which I have to find time to cut into something watchable, and it will probably last less than 2 minutes. Then concider the security man at the end as I was walikng out TOLD ME NOT TO VIDEO! So I did!
At least I tried.

gimpnoid ,,the ledgend grows LOL
It appears that I might just have ONE spare copy of "I AM OZZY" with a genuine signed sticker inside of the front cover!
SO If A TRUE OZNOID wanted it, then may be we could talk, BUT if someone want to sell it on EBAY for as much as can be expected, you can go fly a kite! or Go Forth and Fornicate, which ever you understand!
I am glad (grumbling under my breath, hahahahaha) that so many turned out, and actually got to meet the main man! YES, I would do it again, and I would book a day's holiday from work, in the process, and yet again meet some good honest folks who just happen to be Oznoids!
Let us hope they are on line, and they will join US, when we deem it right to try and get OZZY a Knighthood! So folks keep tuned in and be prepared to do your bit!

Yep I got a total of 6 signed stickers, one for ME, and the other 5 know who they ARE, and have been written to!
The Video is for personal perusal, Ok the inner circle, as I am told that there is copyright material. The it has to be opened, which I can not do at the moment!

No Rest For The Wicked
I went to Birimgham signing for me and my Oznoid friends!
I NOW have 6 signed Stickers from the prince of darkness, and s far as I am concerned, they will not end up on EBAY! Those who I bought for know who they are, and that is how it is, they have had the personal Email to say so! I know that they will cherish thier copy, as and when I post it to them!
I know it is NOT quite the same as the man himself signing the books on the day BUT at least I was there, and fair play to those who actually got to meet the man! NO hard feelings, REALLY! I have some HD HDD footage, which at some stage will hit the web when her tutonic webmistressness can cut it without any faults, so you ALL will have to wait!
have fun and prosper

Yeah I agree f_darkbladeus, it pisses me off also.
Loads of signed copies have cropped up on e-bay for 2 or 3 times the price, my only hope that the majority of his UK fans who want a copy of the book managed to get to one of the signings so have no need to buy one off e-bay.
Those scumbags who get their copies signed just to make a quick buck really annoy me, but I suppose even that is gonna make some fans happy, just to get Ozzy's autograph, fair enough.
I'd be very sceptical anyway, unless I saw Ozzy sign my book I wouldn't be interested in purchasing one off the internet, its just not the same as getting it signed by Ozzy yourself, and who's to say its genuine, it could be a fake.
I fully understand though that there probably will be many fans who were unable to get to the signings and would gladly part with their hard earned cash for a signed copy, fair enough, its just not for me, and if it makes people happy who am I to criticise.

No Rest For The Wicked
what i think is colossally sad is that there are fans who LOVE the Ozzman, and who would DIE for the opportunity to meet him, be there while he signs their books...and then there are scumballs wanting to make a dime who show up ONLY TO HAWK THE THING ON EBAY?
damn. tells me that Ozzy needs to have signings AT HIS CONCERTS, where fans can buy his book if they want AHEAD of time and pick it up there. If they did that, and have so many win a signed copy (list of winners to be revealed ONLY after entering the gates), THAT would TRULY be bad@SS! that way getting in a line - or showing up to your job when the market is so tight and you might LOSE YOUR JOB if you don't show up - isn't a choice people have to make. Nor are tickets with winning signatures scalped for money. everyone who loves Ozzy has a shot at it fair and square.
