I'm hoping that we won't be kicked out until we've had sufficient time to sober up...

Yeah, that's fine. Just call me when you get to Burton.
BTW everyone, READ THIS IT'S IMPORTANT
We had a spot of bother with the late licence (council being arsy) so when you get to the Derby Turn, you'll be given a name badge. Wear it, for God's sake. It'll have a name on it. That name may not, technically, be your name. I had to do the list in a hurry last night and I couldn't think of all your names so some of them are umm, 'best guesses' . Just write your h2g2 name underneath it. Everyone clear? Good.

Sadly no, you can't, because I had to do a list for the local court last night, and I didn't put Tony Curtis on the list, so he can't come in

I've found out today that I've *got* to take another two and a half days off work before the end of this month, so I've got Monday off to recover. I expect I'll stay for brekkie on Sunday, lunch, dinner, brekkie again on Monday, lunch again, and then think about leaving if that's ok Kerr.

Badges? Ok. Can I bring my one from the h2g2 meets? The one with handcuffs? I've still got a couple lying around.

You can, but you've got to wear this one too. Sorry, for some reason they were most insistent on it, and promised a visit from the blue-bottles to make sure we were wearing them. One would think they'd have better things to do, but still.

Well, if it means we can stay for a while where it's warm and comfy I'm up for it.
I'll have to come home on Sunday, I've got a feeling my son wants to see me (it being mum's day and all that). But feeling welcome to hang around a bit sobering up will be cool, ta.

Would the following doobry off the rail web stie whatsit be likely to affect my jorney?::
Engineering works taking place between Darlington and Durham
Train services will be diverted via Eaglescliffe and Stockton adding approximately 1 hour to journey time
Would that affect the Chesterfield to Burton-on-trent bit? or the Ely to Chesterfield? I relaly am hopeless at geogrpahy

No. If you get to Darlington or Durham, then you've gone the wrong way. Very the wrong way. Durham is near Newcastle.
