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.

It looks like after all I will be there annoying the crap out of you.

 

You are a bunch of lucky people are you not!

 

Shame aboot fooking goodge street being closed. I will have to use all my london smarts (generally wonder around somewhere near I want to get to in a spiral path)

 

Anyone fancy meeting me in a neutral place? (I am looking at serg here) to guide me?

 

WELLL?

I AM NEARLY PREPARED!

This is where I shall walk, please tell me if it will result in my appeareance;

I will;

SIT ON A TRAIN :@

LEAVE WATERLOO :@

CROSS THE PRETTY BRIDGE WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE TRAINS ON IT NEXT TO THE WHEEL :@

WALK UP "NORTHUMBALAND AVENUE" WHICH I SUSPECT WILL BE PINK :@

TAKE PHOTOS AT TRAFRAGRAHRARH :@ SQUARE :@

AIM TOWARDS CHARING CROSS ROAD :@

.. Until! It gets to Oxford Street! Then I will probably wonder for a bit as I like Oxford Street ..

Then I can either do down Oxford street (from Charing Cross Road), up Rathbone Road (my best friend is Jen Rathbone :O), and then Charlotte Street and THERE.

OR! Carry on up Charing Cross Road, onto Percy Street, and then Charlotte Street again! ^_^

-

Yay! I was terrified for a bit as I couldn't find Oxford Street on the maps - but I was just being dim :$

My phone isn't awesome enough to load Teh or lite-forum-thing, so if there are any drastic plans (or my own plans are above are hideously wrong) - please text or email (steveg1986 and I am at hotmail dot com) me because my phone can do those things ^_^!

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW :@

Can you not put Opera Mini on your phone? One of my Samsungs couldn't handle Teh on WAP but Mini did the trick.

YES WHAT HELLO :@
I foolishly accepted to go fix a laptop this morning, but I'm trying to finish it as early as possible, which might well mean that I'll make it there on time.

You could always come out at Tottenham Court Road and walk down or take the bus down to Goodge Street, that'd possibly be easiest. Oh balls to you TfL, stop closing the Northern Line :@

Right... I've no idea how to get places now, I'm gonna have to make it up on the spot. I get in to Charing Cross anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard. Bah :( (you do have my number, right?)

:(

I got there, bought ticket, train pulled up, and I just realised I really couldn't do this >< Sobbing on a train platform, cool eh? I am slowly feeling better, but I guess this was just too soon for me. Sorry everyone><
