Have the date changed enough times to make it an Easter Meat.

Random thought - is there no engineering work on the weekend of the 10th of November, or has it just not been announced yet? :|

So remind me again - you're now working for the Department of Not Helping, right?

 

I had a look here:

And there's nothing which would affect things too badly.

 

I blame the unions anyway. If Thatcher had her way, all the engineering work would be carried out in the middle of the night by cheap foreign labour, with the electricity switched on. And then we'd send the cheap foreign labour back to where they came from, having taken all their money.

So 10th, then?

WTF ever.

 

I will just say that last night I arranged all my work for October and have kept the weekend of the 27th free.

And I booked the 27th off work with much kicking and screaming (I don't really get days off).

 

I could attempt to change it to.. whenever the Scots are on about now.

 

What about Linn?

Some cultural information about Britain. English people are decisive, Scottish people are faffers. 10th of November any good for you?

There was no kicking or screaming involved in my day off. All it means is that I don't get to do sound for Abbatoir, the Abba heavy metal tribute band.

If the Scotches get teh 9:53 from Embra to York on the 27th, then we can arrive at 13:45 at an approximate cost of £22.50

 


York to the dog basket seems to be about £13 and no problems reported on that route.

 

Return on Sunday can be done from Leeds to Glasgow for about £22, and to Edinbugh for £21.60, both leaving Leeds at 12:08.

As much as I hate to condone this indecisiveness, I can get a flight about $140 cheaper for the November date.


I would have to book it today for that though, as the prices change everyday.



So sure, I still can alter my plans if necessary.

Good fucking god, it's no wonder you Scottishes lost at Culloden: you couldn't make up your fucking minds which side to play for.

But yeah, 10 Nov's fine. As long as the rot stops there.
