Ok... I see now... I love the way You English people talk, it's just that sometimes I don't quite understand you.

I'm aiming for fashionably late. Not through choice, but I know that no matter what time I leave I'll probably be later than I plan anyway. These things have a way of happening.
Mind you, I've probably got one of the least taxing journeys. Fall onto train at Orpington, fall into a train-rockingly induced trance until train hits the buffers at Charing X, stumble down to the Bakerloo line, try to remember to disembark at Regent's street... then finally a casual saunter to the park.
Naturally, this seemingly dreamy journey will be spoilt by train delays and sweaty tube passengers... and I'll turn up dishevelled and with bits of Scotch Egg stuck to my elbows.

Wow, that takes me back. I used to live on Knoll Rise, in one of the newish houses next to the Doctor's. Every Saturday night I'd be running to Charing Cross to catch the 1am Orpington train so I didn't end up falling asleep on the night bus and ending up in the middle of Bromley
I hope they've cleaned up the trains a bit since then. Connex South Eastern's were revolting, covered in graffiti and really stinky.
Is there going to be an award for the "Furthest Travelled" ???? ..... Man, I am achingly close to attendance, with a 95% possibility of making an appearance .... oh the agony of uncertainty. I need 2 things to fall into place then it's a goodun.
Up next... the MacRumors Southern California BBQ!
Where: A park. In southern California.
When: Sometime in the summer.
Why: Because us yanks like to have some fun too.
(Interested? PM me)

I think it stands at + or $40. It'll probably get swallowed up by the overhead. You know what these charities are like.iGary said:So what's the "Get iGazza to London" fund up to, then?
dietcokevanilla said:What are those 2 things?
1. That we change the venue?
2. That we change the date?
Thing 1. Other person has control over that, and they are not back until Friday evening.
Thing 2. Return transport: public transport round my neck of the woods hasn't won many awards for community integration.
... of course changing venue and date would make it a teensie bit easier for me

You forgot to tell us about the free BBQ and beer party you're throwing. If you do, I'm sure people can rearrange to meet at your place.
Nope, me too....I'd be coming into Kings Cross.dietcokevanilla said:
So it's probably just me who's majorly inconvenienced by the closures then? grrr.
OK not really 'majorly'; I just thought I'd add some drama cos it's Monday morning and I'm bored ****less...

It's just a 10-15 min walk from Kings Cross up to the park...
However, this is just a shameless reminder that the picnic is definitely on (after a wobbly moment on my behalf) for Saturday and that I'm immensely looking forward to meeting everyone who comes along on the day.
At this point the weather is looking good, shopping lists are being drawn up, plans being made.
Bring. It. On.
was in a bit of a blur about can i make it or not -
was going to buy a stock Macbook £749 from London, ended up buying a £1029 Black Macbook in Lincoln last night so feeling extreamly skint
but hey still got some pennies left over to make it on Sat , as long as you lot like the VALUE range at Tesco's
Rock On!

Ah. that could have been a wee bit embarassing! I'll make sure to have printed off on of BV's lovely invites. I'll blame the fact that I did the Bupa capital 10k at Hyde Park recently and the trauma is still firmly embedded!
Did I mention I'd done the Bupa capital 10k? No? Well I did. Me. Want to see my medal?
(I might mention this once or twice on Saturday!)
