Yeah. I saw the price and as it is not an official licensed Lego set I passed.

As we, er, have less staff now...the previously 'all booked up' leave calender for Friday the 4th was now clear. So booked the day off.
Means we can travel down at a more reasonable time/pace.

So what is actually happening when on this weekend? Is a Biplob visit happening at any point?

If you're doing that I might treat myself to a night at Travelodge Swindon Central.

Show Saturday? Buffet Lunch Sunday? That would fit our usual plan. We usually hope off after Sunday Biplob. We plan to do the show on Saturday. -Ralph |

A very nice Indian restaurant, that has a good lunch deal and an excellent Sunday buffet and decent wheelchair access, that I have neither smashed up or burnt down and is the scene of one of the greatest moments of young Pinwig's life Here is a TMUK assemblage in said Curry House Legends G2 Purple Titans Return Voyager Megatron and, I think, Authentics Prowl before anyone asks |

Curry for lunch? Madness! It's a tradition that we have Sunday lunch there before heading home. This replaced the previous tradition of the pizza restaurant, but Phil smashed that up. -Ralph |

As I will not hear anything further regarding my job situation until 23rd October, and I refuse to live with a constant eye of the damoclesean sword hanging above my head, I have made an executive decision that I will be attending this year.
I have weighed the pros of being extremely cautious with my money, against the cons of missing out on seeing a lot of friends, excellent feats of brick engineering, and a most excellent lunch and I have decided that the downsides of not coming far outweigh any marginal advantages.
It turns out I also had annual leave left from last year which I need to burn before the end of October (as we can only carry it over for two months), so I have been able to turn it into a long weekend off work.

You have made the correct choice. I could use the extra help to raid Phil's garage.
