h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Very cool!!

I'll leave at 12ish then

See ya dere!

I'm the one with waist length redish mop.

I'll be the one in a Marvin the Martian T'Shirt and smelling of Vicks and cough syrup

You poorly?

Alex gave me her cold, at least I'm barred from the ITC unit at work, no more walking for miles do deliver a sandwich

Oh no!
Your sandwich delivery duties are suspended

The 'B' wards which include the High Dependency Unit are the furthest from the kitchen and they are the ones that usually need their meals delivered

I can't go to the ing meet anymore due to moving house.

all

I'll come next year.

that's a shame. But how about we have a drink to you, in your memory, so to speak?

yay!

thankyou

We did too you know

Thanks for coming all, I had a great time!

DEATH TO RAILTRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get home till 3am this morning

I left Stafford at 7.30pm and there was a signal fault at Bletchley, we got not a lot of info out of the train manager so myself and another irrate passanger went to see WTF was going on, I wanted to know what was happening as it looked like I was going to miss the last train home the other guy was miffed about no information, the train manager didn't like walking throught the train when there was a problem 'cos people shout abuse at him (DUH you work for Virgin Trains you should be used to it), the result of the ensuing argument was 2 more announcments, 3 apologies, promises of a lift home for anyone who missed a connection and the reopening of the buffet. We rolled into Euston at 00.10 (my train left an hour earlier), I had to queue for a courtesy Taxi form and queue for said taxi, I got indoors at 3am this morning, BUT every cloud has a silver lining I had to share my taxi to Portsmouth with 3 Scouse Sailors Damn!!!!! what a shame.

I Never want to travel on Virgin Trains again, the signaling problem wasn't their fault but they are the most unhelpfull to the point of rudeness people I have ever met.

Can we go to Chessington next year PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

I had a similarly hellish journey. It started okay, walked from Towers to campsite, packed tent up in record time, and got bus to Henley ten minutes later. At Henley, I couldn't figure our which bus from the 100s there would take me to Stoke, so decided to walk. It was further than I expected though and took an hour, stopping halfway through to give up and wait for a bus, only it didn't come for 20 mins so I gave up giving up and carried on walking.

Coach from Stoke took me to Stafford where I waited two hours for a train which was late. Train was full of drunk man u fans so had to stand in corridor, as the train took 4 hours (2 hours late) to get to Euston, arriving at 1.30am. Joined a massively long queue for a free taxi, taking another hour and a half, and got home 3.30am.

Have to say though, staff at Euston station were very friendly and organised - cheerful and helpful despite the early hours of morning and hoards of angry drunks.

Good weekend though

*looks morose*

I actually thought of you Frankie as I was stuck on the train, I thought to myself I bet Frankie's stuck in this lot too, I got the Liverpool train so missed the Man U thing, Bet they weren't happy


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh

Had a fab time at the Towers tho

Those journeys sound hellish. And they wonder why people don't use public transport more?! I make no excuses for going by car!

Anyway, AT'03 was great fun imo. Not sure about Chessington personally. Haven't been there for a while, but both that and Thorpe Park seemed much more kiddie-orientated, whereas AT is good fun for adults (and more centrally situated, as there are always plenty of London-centric meets that get organised).

We just need a smiley now.

It was just me having a rant over last night, I'll be there next year

I've just realised there's now an smiley - about time!

Well, me, Holly and Corinne got the bus to Hanley around 11.30, then made our way to the coaches. Mine came at 1.30, which gave me an hour in Crewe before the 15.04. Got to Haymarket around 18.30, then a bus to Tranent at about 19.00. I then went to my granny's for a nice cup of tea before my final bus at 20.40, which saw me stagger in the door around 20.50.

I am MOST DEFINITELY driving next year!

That's my line!!

How about you and I make a pact then, we'll set the date for AT04 soon, then we have a solid target to aim for?

And no, the solid target isn't Camper Man..!

And don't forget to take a watch, so we know what the time is
