    nope.... i posted the link on here straight away after i had booked and i hope some people got the benefit of it... its http://www.travelodge.co.uk and they do these £26 saver rooms you pay in advance..

    i looked the other day but they had put them all back up to £66... :( .... must have had a flurry of bookings that weekend... i think about half of the postees on this thread are staying there :)

    agh dammit. so there's no rooms left or the price has simply gone up? Can't seem to find the correct Travel Lodge when i go to that site.

    we should have t-shirts or something.

    We're going to wear stickers with our usernames on and someone will put a sign on the table saying "The mighty Pearl Jam board members UNITE!"
    I have decided :)

    lodgings.... me and I Scot ID will be kipping somewhere.. we hjave a few mates in london. If there's a party in the Travellodge maybe we'll just not sleep.

    My kilt is my drinking kilt - extremely tatty. To wear it travelling it would require...

    1. Leaving my house.... getting some breakfast in the little egyptian shop I live above - they already think I'm crazy.
    2. Standing at atram stop...
    3. Travelling by tram to central station...
    4. Standing around at central station.
    5. getting a train to schiphol
    6. CHecking in at Schiphol
    7. SECURITY at schiphol
    8. Departure lounge at schiphol
    9. Plane...
    10. Baggage collection at Gatwick
    11. Train to London
    12. Tube to place of residance(to be decided)
    13. Tube to "The George"

    Now during all of those 13 points I'm gonna have to try to do three things:

    1. Avoid being raped by some HRT'd up granny
    2. The inevitable nappy rash caused by sweaty arse cheeks on scottish sheep wool
    3. Stay sober - this the hardest... the chances of me getting to point 13 without falling into a alcohol fuelled mess is unlikely....

    Well i just checked the website and there are still rooms available at the Farringdon....but it's £66 for a double room like dunkman1974 said. It's an option if i can get the money!

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    this might be the crappest idea ever but what if everyone prints out their fav PJ pic that they can find online and just pin it to their jacket or something?

    Everyone should wear something red white and blue

    a few of us have posted pictures on the blog and i hope some more will follow...

    i can't remember names for the life of me if i don't have some visuals... but i will recognize everyone on the blog once there's a group of us at the pub there's no way you can miss us :)

    Some days you wake up and sit on a park bench next to an eighty year old Russian architect, and some days you don't. I think this is my new life philosophy.
