You calling me a goof?

Yes, yes I am.

 

I blame staying in bed all day and typing on a laptop. Yes, I'm still in bed.

 

(fail)

You lazy scotch fop.

I don't generally pay £3.50 a pint in London, I feel obliged to point out. It's generally more expensive than elsewhere, but that sounds like fancy-posey-bar-prices. Or fancy posey Hoegaarden type beer maybe.

That particular 35p was for some lager or other, upstairs in the Cambridge in Charing Cross Road.

There was some artistic license (lying) in that post. My first pint in London was in the Raynes Park, in - er - Raynes Park. 29p for an appalling pint of Watney's served from an electric pump.

Hmmm.

 

Hmmm I say.

 

Since it's on a Saturday, I may perchance be able to remain longer than previously anticipated since I won't be having to get up for work at 6.15 the next morning.

I can arrive whenever, but may be heading off at 8ish or so. Bradford isn't the most train-friendly place for me :(

Eh? It's only 20 minutes on the train from Leeds init?

Yeah. But that means at least 2 hours plus a minimum of one changeover whereas I can get to York in 30 minutes and Leeds in just over an hour. Both direct too. For the going home bit, this means leaving by 8ish or I'm stuck on a platform in Leeds for the night. Well it's either that or the dog basket :)

 

I'm still coming along one way or the other though!

You're always welcome to a place in he dog basket. Incidentally, Re. Bradford-Leeds, bear in mind that there are two Bradford stations, both walkable from where we're boozing, both serving Leeds. Bradford Interchange and Bradford Forster Square. I don't know off the top of my head which offers the later last service.

The interchange seems to be the best option for trains. It also looks to be marginally closer to Centenary square as well.

 

Assuming trains are on time, I'll probably be there for about quarter to one.

Groovy.

OK, it's time for a tot-up: the dog wants to know how many of you she's 'accommodating' on the 19th.

Pls can we have a recount?

Me!

Of course.

Well I'm coming along, but I'll probably be training it back and hence won't require basketing. :)

Likewise, I'm planning on getting the train back from Bradford.

I might, still a bit up in the air at the moment. I shall try to find out.

The dog basket has many rooms.

While I remember - we're still meeting in Lloyds between 1ish and wheneverIgetThereish, right?

 

Steve - is your mobile number still the one ending in 3095 - if not, PM me your new one thankyouplease.
