Put me down - attendance & curry.

I'll try not to do my usual trick of saying yes then having something come up!

Although my brother & his family are visiting sometime in October....

Can't make it myself, but have fun all.

I'm up for it, curry 'n all.

Yep should be able to make that and bring some hardware along (maybe a TV, depends if I come by car or public transport!). And in for the curry of course

Markie · Post by **Markie** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 4:10 pm 0

TBH, Im sure we can source TV's from this end ... we only need about 4 after all.

I've been granted a weekends pass so please put me on the list (also for the curry).

I'll be driving down so I can bring a 360 and Cubie along with assorted games. Alas I only have one control for each so maybe fellow 'softies who want to play can bring their own controllers along?

Also, i'll be heading down from loveliest North East Lincolnshire so if there are any fellow LLamasofties who want to attend but aren't able to do so because of travel problems - and assuming they're reasonably en-route - then i'm happy to offer them a lift.

Looking forward to finally meeting some of the nutters that i've come to know from the forums.

Oxford Express charges Â£13.00 for a return fare from London and Oxford Tube Â£14.00. That doesn't sound too bad.

I'm more worried about the ticket from the airport to Victoria, from Gatwick it's 14 quid for a single fare with the Gatwick Express! Robber barons.

Is there a cheaper way to get from the airport to the city with a bus or something?

Also how much is the curry and is the youth hostel at walking distance?

The X70 runs every hour 24hrs a day from Gatwick to Oxford ... about Â£15 return.

a plan!

Looking into the curry now ... I think we should look at around Â£10 per head based on a buffet type idea ... I'll be calling a few Indians tomorrow as there are loads in the area.

Gah!, I'd say put me down as a tentative yes, but things are all a bit up in the air at the moment so I can't say for definite if I can make it

I can bring a flock of Wavebirds for the Cubie.

Put me down for the curry please Sir Markie of Jollys.

When I used to "rat run" it at uni from London (cos I had a couple of good mates in Oxford) it used to cost Â£7.20 and that was over 10 years ago, so price increase isn't that bad really.

Though seriously looking at coming in by the bus, drinking shed loads, eating the curry, having a good time and staggering back on the bus in the middle of night

(would be cheaper as well, given I've got Eurocon to fund the following weekend!)
