I'm in the Whitehouse guesthouse with Beerman and Pinkfearie. I even managed to get a space in the carpark of the pub 8)

After a long and tedious drive we arrived at about 7pm, confusing the guesthouse woman who wasn't around. We had to find WhiteWolf who was also staying here to borrow his key to get in. It's ace, the venue is across the road a whole 30 seconds walk.

This post coming courtesy of my Macbook and mobile phone.

Rock Band is very cool.

Yeah I've been coming down with it since Monday or so, but it finally seems to be looking up - at 1am I nearly feel human :D Hope you've passed the worst of it too, haven't felt so rough in a very long time - just wanting to curl up and spend the whole day asleep, or being freezing yet dressed in about 50 layers is somewhat bizzare. Have had to cancel my RV accommodation though, so I think i'll be training it from from Southampton on the Saturday and perhaps sunday.

Cheers

FFS...sorry guys gotta rant. It's nearly 6am now and I've had no sleep at all as the cunt in the room next door to me has been out all night and left his TV turned on! I've had to listen to shitty quiz shows an now vet drama on five for the last 5 hours :(

And, to add insult to injury, when I checked yesterday the landlady specifically asked me to keep the noise down as this guy is 'working'!

So appologies if I'm a bit grumpy today...

I will be rolling in at some point this afternoon. How's the parking situation? Can I get away with parking down a random street and walking over?

Very doubtful, as Oxford is anti-car.

Ah, no problem. It looks like there are a few car parks further up the road over the river. The walk will do me good :)

Not sure what time I'm going to get back there today as work is taking longer than expected :?

I'll see you all at some point though. And my voice has just about recovered from Rock Band last night..

Yeah - You need to double check that any street doesn't have a sneaky sign saying "Residents parking only" somewhere along it...

Fucking horrible to drive into.

Use the Park and Ride. There is NO parking anywhere around here. I should know, I took the last space in the carpark :twisted:

Avoid the carparks, you'll get severely arse-raped by the price - it ends up being about a quid per hour at least, which is a bit expensive given I can park all day in Manchester for 2 quid.

I just want to say thankyou to Mr "NETGEAR" and his badly set up router, it's great :)
