Star Wars and Doctor Who fans clash at Norwich convention
Police were called to a science fiction convention after an argument between two rival groups of fans.
Trouble flared at the fourth Norwich Sci-Fi and Film Convention at the University of East Anglia, organised by Norwich Star Wars Club.
Police were called after members of the rival Norwich Sci-Fi club arrived to get autographs from two Doctor Who actors at the event on Sunday.
Norfolk Police confirmed officers attended and spoke to both parties.
A spokesman said they had been called to reports of a man being assaulted at the convention.
(continued, removal of sonic screwdriver under local anaesthetic?)

Needs more Alan Partridge
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Actually, Jedi Consulars are the great peace negotiators.. Jedi Knights are all about sabering stuff and internal reviews.klr wrote:Where are a few Jedi Knights when you need them to keep order?

Hominid bands grunting furiously at each other when they meet, hurling sticks and stones...
Echoing down the ages, with a paper-thin veneer on top...

I'm still laughing at this.
