I don't think there is normally a finishing time - people tend to slope away gradually as the afternoon/evening/night goes on.

Haha, doubt I could stay that long :( If I do /drink/ I will try and intersperse with lots of coke and food - else I risk ending up in Weymouth :(

THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP MILKO! :B

It will probably take longer to go on the tube than it will to walk the extra distance, especially since the northern line closures suck balls.

 

Have fun!!

I'll be getting there about 2pm as it stands.

 

And I might not be there too late as I may have to get back for a big gaming night at a mates.

I'm looking to get there about then then, although I might well go earlier and wonder around the shops for a bit.

Any chance of a heads-up of those definitely attending tomorrow plus an indication of expected arrival times?

 

Just so I can plan my day...

 

:O)

 

Edit: that should have been to All:

Aiming for like, 3pm or something I guess. It sorta depends, I will be there though. Urm. Messy. I can post with a better idea in the morning perhaps!

It's so rare I venture into central london I almost could get lost this time. Almost :)

Chances are I'll be there very early, but I want to wonder around the shops and maybe walk along to Hamley's and there's an ace camera shop nearby - so I'ma take my Canon AE1P and try and flog it to them, as they buy for stupid prices.

If some forumy people (yourself, pb, milko, voltane maybe?) can PM me your mobile numbers?

As I'm getting there early I can arrive at anytime, so I'll just see what everyone else says!

It's a shame I didn't work out trains sooner, if I'd had booked with MEGATRAIN a fortnight or so ago, it'd be £6 return (you can get from here to Birninham for £2 with that!) - but it's gonna be £22 with YPR, but that's still good!

I'll be aiming to leave around 1pm, but I'll probably end up being disorganised and miss the first train, and get the half-past one, arriving Charing Cross around 2pm and at the Fitzroy Tavern about fifteen-twenty minutes later, if the TFL journey planner can be trusted.

The imaginary voices in my head haven't told me if they want to come yet, but I expect they wont so it will just be me.

Thankyou everyone! ^_^

Mine is 07944 714030 :O But I will say that it'd be better to text me, as I hate answering my phone on trains ><! And I will be quite paranoid on the streets with it too :$

Heh, just pm'd you and asked if your number was still....and then saw your post.

 

And if people confirm then they'll be added.

 

Milko: Is it just you or the whole welsh-in-london posse (ie, Matt) coming too?

I never knew there was a megatrain. So I look and see if I could get home for cheaper!

But..

Can't you walk that bit?

 

It only looks about half an inch on the map </transport manager mode>

 

I dunno, bloody excuses...

 

:O)

If it's a really megatrain it'll take a run at it and jump it. Make sure you steady your lager.

Haha yes :( I need to get to Oxford next month, and the Birnigniham (heh :$) train goes through there, but I'm not sure what they'd be like ticket wise. As it's well - £2 to Birningham, and about £20 to Oxford.. hmm :D

I guess that rules out you posting all the photos of her that she wouldn't want you to put on the internet, then.
