Twenty minutes actually. Number of times I've used thetrainline.com of late you'd think I'd be able to read the schedules by now.

National Rail I think. I'll watch out for you. Of course I have no idea where I'm going beyond "Leave station and look round for Queen pub".

Well smiley - dontpanic, you've still got 4 days. I, on the other hand shall be heading for the deep south tomorrow, so I probably won't be on the internet much, so let's stick with "I'll look around for you" as a plan and go on from there, shall we?

A bit of maths, yes. I've got this little thesis thingy I wrote around somewhere...

Final preparations - blitz on my old Hotmail emails in the hope that my account won't go over its limit with the amount of spam I'm sent.

smiley - laughsmiley - grr : I've a couple of hotmail accounts, I only ever check them about once a month, and I can't remember the last time I had an Email from anyone I know, or that I was interested in, yet, every time I check in each account I've over a hundred new 'junk' Emails smiley - dohsmiley - erm Its difficult I found, though, trying to find any kind of alternative, I've the talk21 account I use often, and thats the one you got the Email from, plus I've the 2legs at talk21 account, both of which don't suffer too much from spam; but I think they don't take on any new people at talk21 anymore smiley - sadface and I've a mail.com account that I hardly ever use smiley - ermsmiley - weird

Some day I'll get a new address and relegate Hotmail to the account you only use when you need to put an address in, but suspect the address you put in might make its way onto a spamming list. I think they call it a spamming account.

Thats what I basically use my hotmail accounts for, but I think a few people still send stuff there way, so I keep an eye on them smiley - biggrinsmiley - run

When you get off the train* at the Bradford interchange go down the stairs and keep going to the exit there's a small car park at the end of the car park is the queens pup it would be hard to miss.The Victoria hotel is just across the road.

*In the case of the bus it is just the same go down the stairs and head for the exit.

Tonto is now unsure whether he can make it. :-( See http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F129283?thread=324541 for details. Bagpuss: jeans should be OK. It seems to be sportswear in general that is frowned upon in some places in Bradford. So it's probably to jeans, but to trainers, tracksuit bottoms and shirts. Rather bizarrely, the pub next door to the one I'm hoping we can all go to also has a ban on hats! So, just in case we want to go there, it might be best to leave your toppers and giant Royal Ascot feathery numbers at home... 8-)
