Can I book a place at VDG's flat then, pref not in a doorway like the last meeting :)

I was going to go for the hotel / travelodge, but due to a foul up with ECUs I'm now over budget by quite a bit.

possibly me too? (please!) I'm not house trained but can sleep in a bin liner.

Not sure if i can make it or not atm, very unlikely the car'd be with me in any case.

I have to say i'm impressed by you guys travelling the length of the country just to come to a meet! usually apathy rules and no-one is willing to stand up and be counted when it comes to actually saying "i'm going", i half expected there to just be 3 or 4 scottish dudes. I hope you all enjoy it and me and VDG are on the look out for stuff for you all to do when you get here. (clean my flat, clean VDG's flat, mow the lawn....................)
Nice one!!

Yeah, we're on the hunt for places to go, things to do- we'll keep you posted.
BTW suggestions on anything you all fancy doing up here?

don't worry, there's an off-licence just round the corner from my place! :lol:

I'm waiting to hear back about Friday from work, if i can get it off i'll be with Murf to meet you off the M74.

Murf/VanDerGraaf

Is the theme park open? Or is it just a Summer thing?

Whatever we do, I'm sure it will be fun - really looking forward to it and meeting you all :D Plus there will be my partner in crime (or is that wine??) - Miss 480T herself (Chelle) :lol:

My new Paris Blue SE should be okay for the trip, it passed it's MOT this week with no probs (thanks again Lee).

We can't set off til Sat am - due to work for both Mr Owl and me.

See ya there - let us know where we can meet you all. (We're all booked into the Travel Inn J6/M74)
