Oh alright, maybe I could be tempted to try the lunch menu again today. Just to make sure it's safe for my chums you understand....

Somewhat concerned that next Saturday night might be a bit much for me. Evenings proving a little difficult at the moment.

The thought of getting away next weekend is the only thing keeping me going at the moment. I will be bringing Transformers Chocolate Balls for all. I will also have the unrelated Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit on me which I will beat you all at.

Phil is trying to work out when people are getting here Tickets booked! Managed to find a reasonably affordable route avoiding London (via Coventry, Didcot Parkway and the like). Get to Swindon at 13.13 on the 6th. Friday we are heading down to Swindon at 0830. Andy I think I make you at Swindon at 14:35? |

Get a train that arrives in Swindon for about or just before 11:30. We'll do what we did last time you visited. And I think I will need to take you up on your earlier offer: Trainline says last train back is 23:07.

I'll get a flexible day return anyway, and stand by to be Backup Phil for Brian Blessed purposes if need be! Martin |

Still trying to work out travel plans but at the moment plan to arrive Friday so I can get a proper night sleep and enjoy Saturday.

I'm not going to the shouting, but I'll be around in the day. I'll drive up for speed - what chance is there of street parking around your house Phil? I can be around any time in the morning and then I'll head off when you go to the theatre.

Post by Philip Ayres on Apr 4, 2018 17:48:37 GMT
Yeah, there's street parking near outside. Aim for about 10:30, which will give us some leeway.
M3, A34, M4, A419, A4198. I'll work out the local roads for you later.

No because I wasn't going to see Brian Blessed!

Post by The Doctor on Apr 4, 2018 18:18:53 GMT
But Phil said you were coming with a present in the afternoon. Phil said. You can't say no to Phil.
Pinwig is coming and he isn't seeing Blessed. You can't say no to Pinwig.
Don't make Phil and Pinwig cry, Matthew.

Excellent, no worries about the local roads. I can see the route on google maps and the sat nav in the car will prevail! 10:30 it is. Google says it's about an hour and forty to you from me, so it should be a fairly nice Saturday morning drive. I must pick out some Big Finish for the journey! |

Even me. I didn't know about the shouting until after the tickets had been booked, but I'm still up for a day of fun with chums! It's fortunate that the date is in the middle of the school holiday, makes it easier to get away. |

Post by Philip Ayres on Apr 4, 2018 19:15:38 GMT
The local roads can be.... interesting on the sat nav, people have got lost following theirs to ours.
See PM

It was a bit of maze but frankly the sat nav was the least of mine and Nicks worries by that point.

I've got a four hop journey tomorrow as well:-
Here to Coventry, Coventry to Oxford, Oxford to Didcot Parkway, Didcot Parkway to Swindon. It is certainly cheaper doing this journey from down here...But I'm inclined to say it is significantly more complicated...
