Where shall we go?
Mina Posted Mar 5, 2003
It does affect the Stansted Express though. So I won't even ask EV if he's happy to get back to the airport by train so we don't have to leave London so early. 
Thanks KA!

There are a few advantages to my line of work. There should be replacement bus shuttles running- EV should be okay with those.

... Which leads on to my next question- what time are you playing on bailing?
I am apparently going clubbing afterwards, so f**k knows what'll end up happening.

Having checked, the Stanstead line is closed on the Sunday, and there will be road transport alternatives.

Mina Posted Mar 5, 2003
I was going to suggest that we stay in London once AGB has gone back, and put him on a train so we can hang out longer, but if it's a bus it'll be quicker to take him in a car.
I'll probably be going home when the pub shuts - AGB has to be back for a train midday normally, and so we have to get up early. We've been on the 'oh bugger I've missed my connection' roundabout before. Not putter her through that again.

Rightio-ho then- that sounds excellent. ALl I've got to do is convince 'im he doesn't want to bugger off to a club early.

I like the idea of going to both pubs, then everyone can be *happy*. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be leaving a little early, needing to get back to Liverpool St for 11.30pm. Thanks for that link K-A, even though it's bad news, at least we know where we are!

That was the time I came down by coach, Mina, and there *was* only one connection back.
I wouldn't do that to myself again!
My train going back from Kings X is the 12-noon one, it'll be 2 hours to Doncaster, then a 2-hour coach-trip from Doncaster-Cleethorpes as they're still doing maintenance on Sundays in my neck of the woods.
I have to select the train back to qualify for the discount.

12 noon at Kings X shouldn't be too much of a problem...

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Mar 5, 2003
Yes, I tried not to make it too early. It's a shame to drag Mina out of bed isn't it.

Shame? That wasn't actually the word that camer to mind - it was more like 'impossible' or something similar...

Can I just pass on some info gained from working in my line of business?
There is a mass school/college student anti war demo in central London on the 9th.

coelacanth Posted Mar 5, 2003
I think so, anyway. I've seen posters up but can't find any online info. I'll check tomorrow. Today was a student action day http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/2821871.stm

You'll notice it was the afternoon. Just after breakfast.

Mina Posted Mar 5, 2003
Hmm,w ell wandering about town on Sunday afternoon was out anyway. I didn't fancy walking about then driving to the airport. Pub for the afternoon anyone? And yes I know I can't have a drink if I am driving, but it's that or the Trocodero.

I'll drive if you like.

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Mar 5, 2003
I'd offer to drive but I'll be on the train on my way home then.
Why are weekends so short?

...Because otherwise they'd be weeks?
