MOOBAA - His journey

Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

No, it's ASLEF.

I tell the customs peeps that it's an anagram for "total and complete bastard."

*bump*

OK, fellow YakYakkers, I'm starting to get all jittery over my impending trip to The Country Of Many Fluffy People And Sheep. In just under 10 more days (237 hours!) I'l be jumping aboard a magic metal birdy thing to wing my way across the oceans to another hemisphere, to meet as many of you nice folk as possible :D

And, by crikey, I'm bloody looking forward to it, too. I need this break like you wouldn't believe; as well as seeking you out, I'm also seeking my muse. Cos she's gone walkabout again, leaving me impotent, code-wise. But ho, hum - you don't need to know that ;)

Here's the thing - despite my 11,000 posts here (shit, it seems like only yesterday I hit 10K 8O), I'm actually quite a shy guy... too shy to ask people for favours. :oops: And despite the offers made in other threads, I can't really believe that anyone would actually offer me crash-space.


So anyway - I'm trying to formulate a very loose plan. I understand that it can't be set in stone (rock, not our fun-lovin' pal ;)), but it would put my usually-neat-and-tidy mind at rest... partially. I know bugger all about Great Britain - other than what I can see in my inherited AA Road Atlas.


I only have a few things I want to do on this trip (in order):
  • meet you peeps. Seriously. If it wasn't for you guys, I'd have very little reason to go to England (distant in-laws be damned!)
  • go to Bath. For some bizarre reason, this is one of the places in the world I've always wanted to visit. Usual tourist peek around the place.
  • poke around Llondon. That gallery that RodS mentioned a while back. Just a wander for the feel of the place - I'm not a Crown Jewels type of tourist ;)
  • a wander around Edinburgh would be nice, too.
And that's it. Really. Except, of course, for RV4 (a room - or floor - is sorted there), and JagFest (Stone has offered me some floor space, but I'm up for something more comfy if anyone offers ;))

At the end of the day, I guess I'd just llove to have a POA for the first weekend I'm in the country. More would be llovely, of course, but at the end of the day I need a roof over my head for those first few days. So... who wants to put a travel-logged moobaa up for a few days from June 4? :)


(Please note: I'm sorry if the above comes across as presumptuous, ruse, or arrogant. This is *so* not like me to do this. Normally I'd have the trip booked 6 months in advance, and know the route from one swank hotel to another by memory. I'm trying to get outside my skin for a bit, but I really don't know what I'm doing :? )

ok folks, we need to sort the plan then... are there any London Llamasofties to run the first part? It would be nice if you could arrange to pick pete up ... then once the start is running we can fill in the rest from then.

En route from darn Sarf to Edinburgh, you can happily stop off at Newcastle and spend a few days of peace and tranquility in g0d's own country. We have a spare room at your disposal. - just let us know when you'll be passing. (The London to Edinburgh mainline goes through Cramlington - but at about 100 mph!)
