Gnomon - time to move on Started conversation Nov 20, 2008
I'm off to Hull on Saturday! I decided to join the happy hootooers in their semiannual get-together. About a week ago, I noticed the they were getting together and wondered whether I could fly to Leeds Bradford as I did earlier in the year. Ryanair quoted me €250 for the return trip. Then I looked at flying to Doncaster, which is actually closer to Hull. 99 cents each way!
Of course there is tax (€70) and the cost of hiring the car (£48) and the cost of a room in a hotel (£52), so it's an expensive night out with the lads, but it's the last chance I'll get this year to hug lil, GB and all my friends.

Pity about the 
weather forecast but we'll be in a nice warm hotel surrounded by nice warm friends
Yes I will beware the Chardonnay - was it that that made me ill last time, MMF? I was wondering if it was the wine or just that I don't normally drink alcohol so when I do my body now reacts like I've been poisoned. I think I'll stick to J20 I don't need to booze to have a good timewith great company, plenty of and plus good food in a great hotel, AND a visit to 
The Deep planned
