Alright, so a question here. When are people travelling? the 29th or the 30th? What time are the arrivals? Or the departures. Whichever..

Ummm... I had the deciding conversation with mum... It doesnt look like I will be able to come after all.
She wants to stress that it's not you guys, especially not people I might have been travelling with, shewould have been more comfortable if it was closer to someone we knew. As it is, I would be in the middle of nowhere, for us, and whatever you guys could do, I wouldn't be near someone *we* knew if things did go wrong. Sorry

hey, its no problem, we wouldn't have taken any offense if she *had* said it was us guys. I wouldn't trust me as far as I could throw me (a challenging feat for sure). It's almost definite that the next meet would be closer to home for everyone (except fallen element, porce and I, but who are we to complain), so hopefully we'll see you at that one (when/where/how ever it is).

Uhm, one of my non-mata friends is coming with me. So, that's two random Floridians flying over to Scotland... We'll be leaving July 29th and arriving the morning of the 30th.
We're heading to London probably that Sunday or Monday. Are there any late trains down to London Euston on Sundays? -------------------- hawtt?! perfect ^.^

I shall likely be going Londonwards by train on Sunday, so you can just follow me  . I think others will be going that way also.

Currently, no. I generally only use one train line, and that's an east to west jobbie. I'll try and find out.
Edit: National Rail Website. If you click on the Buy Tickets bit, you should be able to get a quote for your journey. Edit again: Actually, looks like I might not be going through London after all. -------------------- Waiting for a superhero intervention |

This should probably have been added a week ago, but for those who really need it I can supply a spare bed and a *little* floor space. So far Jaq and froggy are first dibs, but I should have room for two or three more who don't mind:
i) animals. My house is full of them (a cat and two dogs) ii) mess. My house is a. iii) hard floors. Laminate wooden I'm afraid. Bring pillows. iv) having to travel about forty minutes out of town after the nights out (note: because of the travel, this will only suit people who are going to come on the full night out on friday/saturday). v) sleeping in the same general area as me. I don't snore, I don't sleepwalk but come on, which of you trusts me *that* much.  Limited offer only, and I reiterate that you will have to be in my company up til the point where I go home or you wont be able to get back, and this *does* mean having to go to the Cathouse on whichever (if not both) nights that we go out. -------------------- When, will I, will I be famous?

Afraid I won't be attending although I did try. Unfortunately funds and being unable to guarantee which days work will let me have off mean I can't get.
Take plenty of pictures instead so I can ogle and imagine what it would have been like in your merry company.

Uhm, I'm arriving a day earlier than expected so I get in Friday morning (yay, time to adjust to the 5 hour time difference!). And I'm staying in Glasgow Glasgow (Hilton, 1 Williams Street). I think I'm heading down to London on Monday... and staying in Mayfair at the little Hilton (not either of the two gigantic ones).
I still dunno if my friend Donovan is coming with but would definitely like to hang out with people in the London area (I know the underground really well!!!). -------------------- hawtt?! perfect ^.^

In the Hilton? Wow. Okay, thats easy to get to from the centre (its pretty much in it). You flying in? What time does your flight arrive? Since its the morning I can meet you off the plane if you need me to, coz the airports miles out of the city and its a nightmare travelling between the two unless you know what you're doing... lemme know, anyway.

aww....shit
I can't make it, on the 30th July my Dad and his four brothers will all be in the same place at the same time, not really special until you take into account that this is the second time it's happened in 40 years, I missed the last time and I've not seen them much of them over the years since my parents split so it's something of a rare opportunity. Anywho, it sucks, but I can't be in two places at the same time. -------------------- He's a freak of nature, but we love him so.

I've got a commision to make a game, so I can now definitely afford to come to this. Yay! It was looking pretty sketchy for a while.
Tara, you mentioned in chat that you'd found a plane ticket for £40, I think that was from Southampton, but I couldn't spot that one. Could you let me know where that was please? Also, I'd like to take you up on the offer of a floor to kip on! -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

linky
£86.80 return is the best I can find, the £40 ones have gone up to £55 already (sadface). The floor shall be free and clean, which leaves one more place if anyone be skint like teh Mata The flights seem to be specific times, and with the rate the prices are going up I wouldn't leave it too long to buy, incase you miss out. And, hurrah! for games! EDIT: bugger, its gone up to £95.10 in the time it took me to post this >.< Keep an eye out on all the airlines is all I can advise, this still seems to be the cheapest option, though (flying into scotland is uber expensive due to "extra airport fees" ie "not enough people do it to make it profitable, so we'll add an average of £100 to each ticket to make sure it is, and sucks to the scots, who cares about them anyway, and can't they just walk it anyways, the hardy folk that they are *snigger*".

BMI have quite cheap flights, you just have to fly from Heathrow
 for a flight out on Saturday is £36.99 and the return on Sunday could be £11 (more realistically £26) but that's not including air tax and such which I imagine would be at least £30 quid... -------------------- |

Apex Return train tickets are available on journeys booked in advance that are over 150 miles (and for some reason on ours it's only valid on routes going through Birmingham)...but it's limited availability, so moop and I are booking ours now cause we're paranoid like that. It's only about £50 for each of us, traveling from Worcestershire.
*edit* Wheeee...our tickets are now booked. We get to the Glasgow Central train station at 3:13 PM on the 30th. Dunno where we're staying yet though...we'll sort that out soon. -------------------- I love you in a way that is mystical and eternal and illegal in 20 states.

I'm arriving in Glasgow at 13:17 on the Saturday, in time for lunch with anyone else is around for it. All I can say is that I hope I get some sleep on the train! I went for the train in the end because it was going to cost at least £100 to go by plane, and still only be a few hours quicker. -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday
