You should probably start a paid-for queue-tracking service. Alerts every 20 new queue-joiners...

What is it like 😀
How many peeps so far? Is the que barriered off so you know peeps aren't going to barge in.
Are there nice people in line?
Shame my powerbook will only last 3-4 hours 🙁
Just putting together the finishing touches to my bag, got lots of cloths, for putting on and for a cushion.
Getting excited now 😀

Well I'm planning to check the queue out on my way to my mates tonight (around 9-9:30pm). So if you see a guy in a black Nike sweater and Pods rucksack (black and red), it'll most likely be me!
Any orders for food/drink? I'll be signing off this board in 30 mins to start making my way to London.

77 already!!!!! 😱mattmook said:
Maybe, some of them are just having a nose at the moment? Maybe some people mistakedly think it's a new nightclub? 😀
I won't be getting there until 9am tomorrow morning at the earliest - can't make it any sooner. But I was hoping for a t-shirt! Now I'm not so sure I'll get one!
Keep us posted! I'll be checking this forum at various stages tonight!

77?!
I am amazed that there are 77 people already. Any chance of a new count up at around 10pm? I'm guessing that if people aren't there by then then they won't be there until v. early in the moring... and that means I might beat 'em 'cos my car runs earlier than public transport! 🙂
If there are more than 200 of ya by 10pm then I'll not take the chance but if not, I'll set an early morning call, scrape the ice off my car (lol) and hit the road.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if some of 'em left when they find how cold it gets... and how long 15 hours is!
Please keep the forum updated - sheesh, I can feel the cold already.

London Transport web-cam
London Transport (or Transport for London - I ask ya!) has a bunch of web-cams so you can check congestion and such like. This one http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/capitalcams/cam547452.shtml is "Oxford Circus/Regent Street". Can the queue see it from there? Maybe someone could climb the pole and turn it further to the right... It may be that the queue is just too far south for the camera to see you but I think I'll keep it open and re-freshed as the night wares on.
