Northern Invasion

Due to a lack of planning on my part, train tickets were gonna cost us £80 so we're going to drive down. Currently planning on parking in Zone 5 somewhere and getting the tube in, though if anyone has any better ideas I'd be interested.

There's fast trains from St Albans to Kings Cross (or is it St Pancras now?) which is then just 2/3 stops on the Northern line.

Whether that's cheaper or more convenient or in any way helpful, I've no idea.

Are YOU going to be there or not?

Cos in the Satnav thread you said not.

So?

You're a terrible nag, Peter. You'd make some poor sod the perfect wife. :/

Yes, a terrible nag, which has in fact put me off coming.

 

Nah, I'm not coming because of a variety of reasons, two of which are: not able to afford it after paying out this month's child care bill and I'm still not too clever after the operation, I won't be able to eat or drink anything.

 

Still, once the boy's moved out and I can eat properly again, I'll come along to a meat. As long as it's in Yorkshire. And it's sunny. And Truffy comes...

Bah. Another Northern drop out. :(

There will certainly be a Yorkshire meat at some point, but whether you'll attract Truffy over from the land of cheese, chocolate, and clocks is less certain.

I didn't drop out as such, 'cos I didn't confirm I was ever going, so Bhudda knows how I ended up being on the confirmed list...

 

Maybe we should have a jaunt over to the tax haven land, see how the ol' bastard's doing, perhaps take him some home baked cookies.

 

'Course we're all northern to him, so we'd all be dropping out.

Never mind. I found it. It's in London, apparently.

Damnit! Ok people we're moving to secure backup facility 395.
I want to know who leaked that info, stat!

What is that? Why are you :(ing?

What happened to working in London and having a sofa booked? :@


Not much on an invasion at all! Currently, there really will be only three actual northerners. :'C

Cock.

Here's where I am: Being Billy-no-mates this weekend, I won't be using Public Transport to attend [ep + lots of apples=not allowed out alone/could get lost] so, IF the weather is good, I will come on my bike BUT the forecast is not looking good.

Summary: Nice weather = attending ELSE NFC.

EOT.

I still consider myself technically a northerner.

Then how about you rouse some of that rabble into actually turning up?

No-ones said whether I'm going to get an at least 5 minutes Skype conversation with everyone or not. Someone going to take their net book or something so I can virtually attend? Don't fucking mention Facetime.

My "or something" weighs more than an average golden eagle, so it ain't coming up to London with me.


A Latitude XT2 on the other hand is much much less than that.
Order me one of them and I'll bring it up with me. :)

I'm not buying you shit Peter. If you can't plan a day trip and arrange to Skype with me halfway through you're a crap geek with the wrong tools.

I've spent enough on hardware already this year. Don't blame me if you wont buy me more or it! :@

Anyway, Skype sucks.

I'll G-Talk you.

But without the webcam bit, 'cus HTC put the camera on the wrong side of the phone for that. :(
