We're directly linked from http://www.bbc.co.uk/ for a while - the 'Communicate' box, to the right of 'About the BBC', reads:

"COMMUNICATE
Your thoughts, your views
Whatever the subject, you'll find someone talking about it on *h2g2*, the guide to life, the universe and everything. "

Those stars denote the link, which appears all bold...

I'm back!

I've just returned from my holdiay in the sunny Dordogne! smiley - smiley

I've been parting with my € like anything as I have done all the travelling myself, separately to my family.

Yesterday I was up at 0430 to catch a train from Brive to Paris, then the Métro across the capital to CDG airport, where I then had to wait 2 hours before I could check in and then another 3 in the departure lounge because I was early.

Once on the flight, we were told that our nasty airline snack couldn't be served because a member of the crew had got injured on the way over. I was, therefore, ecstatic when presented with a £7.50 food voucher by BA to spend at Birmingham Airport before catching an onward train.

I was going to catch an old slow train to Coventry, but did the whole journey in eight minutes thanks to a (delayed) Virgin West Coast train. And yes, it was a shiny new Pendolino jobbie. Comfortable, air conditioned!

You'll understand why I made such a big deal of the air conditioning in my next journal entry! smiley - smileysmiley - cake

Byeee!

I'm posting this from Terminal 2 of Birmingham International Airport. It's 5:45am and the airline told me to be here two hours before my 0630 flight to Paris, then proceeded not to open check-in for over 50 minutes. As I live only 20 minutes from the airport, that's a lot of lost sleep. smiley - sadface

On the plus side, I'm off to France! smiley - biggrin

I'll see y'all in a fortnight. Look after the place while I'm gone! smiley - winkeye

OK, so I'm a bit belated in posting this, but just to let everyone know that I had a great time on Saturday at the London 2003 meetup! smiley - smileysmiley - cake
