Andy: Your best bet is probably to make your way from the Bus Station to the opposite side of Fleming Way - there's a Pedestrian Underpass you can use Map of Bus Station and Fleming Way Find a 1 or an 8 (Stops G or F). Both are half hourly on a Sunday but helpfully the 1s are on the hour and half hour and the 8s are at 15 and 45. You want to ask for a Day Rider - £3.70 exact change. That'll cover any bus travel you need and to get up to me later if necessary. Travel to the Outlet Village - about 4 or 5 mins. Map of Outlet villageThe bus stop is just as the bus goes past the outlet village shopping center and turns right. You'll need to get round the shopping center to the Steam Museum where the show takes place. Andy T - any chance Andy K can be met at the bus stop? Yeah not a problem. Andy |

Great stuff. Since it's a lego show I'll just ask if anyone is interested in either of these.   I've been hanging on to them for a while, but really have to reduce the amount of lego in the house, both are boxed and have instructions. Neither are complete, the farms missing the tractor and the coast guard is missing minifigures I think. |

A mere detail. We know your powers impact both forwards and backwards on the time/space continuum
Meanwhile....
Andu left the Burger at ten. His train is currently on time and the toddler in the carriage hasn't started screaming yet.

Andu is on Train 2 having successfully navigated the tube solo and sober, a first for him!

Will be turning up a little later than doors opening, but will find you all in there before we go for lunch (or meet you at the restaurant if I'm even later.)

Sorry I haven't popped in sooner to make arrangements - I've been getting organised for the convention I'm selling at tomorrow.
Are people still going to Steam on Sunday, or shall Kiera and I just go round ourselves then head over to Phil's afterwards?

Both Andys will be there all day.
You stopping for dinner Sunday? Anything you two don't eat?

From the 2013 Brickfair ThreadStill not found Jango Fett and the Clone Trooper though I have located Andu's iPad headphones I don't suppose anyone who came for the Lego show has found a Clone Trooper and Jango Fett in their bags unexpectedly? Jonathan says he put them on the table and I know we did have some bags underneath it. Could you check just in case they got knocked off the table and into a bag? After car one had gone to the show today I came downstairs to find Jango Fett, a clone trooper helmet and a gun sitting on the table! Turned out they'd fallen out of the sleeping bag Burns was in last night. We reckon Jonathan must have put them in there last year! Turning out the other three sleeping bags revealed the helmet less clone trooper. V busy this morning. Lasted an hour before the body gave out. There's something there that is the maddest thing I've seen in a long time..... But I'll keep quiet not to spoil the surprise for Andy, Nigel & Kiera tomorrow. |

Obviously a day for finding things: when we were getting a box for Nick to ToyFu towards one of his client we discovered my long missing Movie Rescue Ratchet which Andy bagsied. |

A fine day. Good to see Messrs Ayres, Turnbull, Davidson, Burns and, er, Stomski in the flesh again, and Mr Spence in the plastic. The Lego was awesome, the pizza spicy and the 2nd edition of Andy's 'Another Time and Place' satisfying in the correctness of its page order. I return laden with Thornton's chocolate.

Leaving london now.
Mild excitement when two drunks were chucked off the leeds bus.
Hoping for a bit of sleep now.

Bogatan's mind broken by Loft of Joy.
In other news Burns, who was sharing a train with Nick, has encountered Travel Chaos!

But only after he left Nick. More evidence for the goodness that Nick inspires nature to.

Lost the guys when they watched the Mindstorm talk and I went to take pics of the show. Loved the space mini display with the mini exo-suits by the back door. The Death Star made me go cross eyed. Yes I did get the Ecto 1 set after I lost the group yesterday and yes I have built it and yes it is awesome. Good to see everyone for lunch! Hope Jonathon enjoyed Ralph's left overs. |

It was a grand weekend, some minor travel chaos not withstanding. Exhibition was great fun, and the second day was far busier than the first, I think they may be looking for a bigger venue next year.
Many thanks to Phil, Liz and Jonathan for their kind hospitality.
