Much mystery and intrigue in the Patrick Tomlinson thread.
Over the last few weeks (and on and off for the last two years), Pat has made much noise about attending WorldCon 2024, a shit-tier sci-fi/fantasy convention being held in Glasgow at the same time as the Edinburgh Festival, in a desperate attempt to cash in on the reputation and spending power of Europe's biggest arts festival despite being held in a shithole city 40 miles away. Pat has been preparing for this con for two years, showing off his pass and admitting that he used up all his air miles to attend.
Pat's last mention of the convention was on Friday, where he complained of jetlag and
missed his panel (where he was moderating, not actually contributing), citing unspecified "travel gremlins":
But now Pat is missing. He has not posted anything even remotely relating to the convention since despite it taking place all weekend. A book signing this afternoon revealed nothing. In fact, Pat went completely radio silent for about 18 hours from Friday afternoon, unheard of from the Man of Pig. He has not posted a single picture of his stupid fat face on the plane, in Glasgow, at the hotel, or the convention.
He has, after his uncharacteristic silence, resumed telling the stalker children that they are going to prison. But not a single peep about the convention, and none of his pedophile friends have mentioned his presence there, even noted little-girl-in-swimsuit enthusiast "Uncle Paul" Weimer,
who is attending the convention, winning some weird award for fanfiction:
So what has happened? Has Patrick taken a new L from his long-running feud with literary agent Leslie Varney, who is a long-standing wild Patposter who may have managed to get him
banned from Penguincon earlier this year after he falsely claimed that the Stalker Childs had threatened to bomb the hotel? Did she get him banned from Worldcon as well? Did Pat even get on the plane? Did he go into the wrong pub dressed as a member of the Orange Order and threaten to beat up Catholics (
something he has done for St. Paddy's day in the past) and got arrested, given how jumpy the Filth are these days?
The mystery of Pat's whereabouts and his continued total silence on something he spent two years talking about continues. Pat is due at another event tomorrow, another chance to find some trace of his presence.
Where's Piggy?
