Why did I always thought you'll be near London

Look, I can travel, if you decide York, I'll show up in York.
You decide Newcastle, I'll show up in Newcastle.

The wiff and I might be there as well...

No prob...it'll be a collective decision in the end but I suspect the Aussie mongrel will have the deciding vote

No Chance, no capital at all.

Are you nowhere near any potential venues....we aren't mercenaries (not sure about Tony and Anze) we can always stand you a few sherbets

A second trip to the big smoke (London) around then would be a bit difficult, York on the other hand would be ideal. Jamie - If Martin (anyone seen him recently?) or anyone else down that way is coming you could get a lift, accommodation would be sorted one way or another too. Don't rule it out just yet.

Was just on Skype talking to Jimbuna and we reckon we could combine a meet with a visit to a museum.

If you are interested, post here and let me know which location you would prefer.

Thinking of either:

York/Elvington
London/Hendon or Duxford

The date will be Sunday 13th July till Tuesday 15th July.

No messing about, now if you can't or won't come, don't post please.

Hmm,,, I cannot say I cant or wont, but it sure would be a nice summer vaca...

I'll be hitting the rails to from Deal to York.
Going to the UK and not using their own invention, like going to Australia and drinking cold beer.

Herr-Berbunch · 04-16-14, 11:19 AM

I'm quite certain somebody would've come up with the idea very soon after. After all there are 'stone' railways predating trains by hundreds of years.

And maybe either check the prices or win the lottery before you get a ticket. National Express bus would be a lot cheaper.

Betonov · 04-16-14, 11:37 AM

Are you kidding me

150 pounds for a 5 hour trip. I hope they serve a redhead with a lasagne.
And another 150 for the return.
You'd crisscross entire Slovenia for €50.

Looking at renting a car, half the price including gasoline.

And the bus takes 12hours

Aren't you gents glad when one of your boomerangs announces that it's coming back.

No nasty whack in the back of the head.

TarJak · 04-16-14, 03:20 PM

I'm likely to have a rental car while I'm there. It will be a 7 seater, so plenty of room.

I'll be heading from Essex to wherever we go on the Sunday so if York ends up as the venue then I can pick up any strays from the south east if required. Just need a rallying point where I can pick up.

Betonov · 04-16-14, 03:25 PM

Essex is close to Deal (in British terms, it's still further than my entire country is wide

)

I just make take you on that offer

TarJak · 04-16-14, 04:45 PM

Seat reserved.

Essex to York is about 4 hours drive so not much more than I'd go for a quick weekend away down here.
