don't put it in as a return ticket... the best thing is called an Advance Saver ticket.. what you do is book two Single Journeys... my one way to london from carlisle cost £18 all in and London-Carlisle is £36 just because its a Friday
Tried that Dunkman, thanks, but 146 was the best I could find. (That is for 2 adults) Also it involves a bus for part of the journey because of engineering works....so not worth the hassle.
Anyone know of cheap parking?
(My hotel is near Paddington station)
Living the dream in 2006 - Astoria, Reading & Prague
And 2007 - Wembley
With alchohol in leaf and tree it must be natures plan, for there to be to some degree...alchohol in man
Well since it's almost three weeks away, I have NO idea what I'll be wearing :rolleyes: but considering the weekend that's in it I'd say my Ireland rugby jersey will be a good bet
My sister's coming to London with me (IrishAngel) but I'll be going to the gig on me own
Booking flights today and sorting out accommodation at some stage too.

I realise it will cost me £8 toll into London (unless I arrive before 0630). Our hotel is down Oxford street somewhere, and I was wondering if anyone has some secret parking tips to keep the costs down a little?
This may not help much but before I lived down here, I'd park in the North of London in a residential area and then hop on the tube into London. Cheap and less stressful.
:eek: REALLY????? Well flights aren't looking overly cheap :mad:
Rang around today and to book from a travel agent is 106euro each - from Ryanair to Stanstead (cheapest - how far out is it?) would only be 50 each including all taxes but flying at ridiculous times but I don't care. My sister's really gonna have to get working on finding a credit card SOMEWHERE.

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.

Do you have flights yet? Heathrow is apparently where you need to fly to, otherwise you'll spend a week and a half trying to get across the city.

I've never been to the Royal George, but I work not very far from there, so I'd happily sacrifice myself to go and test it for all of us on a lunchbreak orso. Or after work. For several weeks.
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground

No flights yet - dunno what I'm gonna do. Think I might just book at that travel agent after work. Not too bothered about having to travel loads though - I hate the bloody tube. Wouldn't mind just getting on a bus at an airport, going to sleep and waking up in the middle of the city.

O K, no body waste their time, damn it, I'm making the list!
i sorta started it but i mighthave missed partners/friends/etc... i'm crap at that kinda stuff!
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.
i've been there quite a few times and suggested it purely because of its location. you can spill out onto the street too if its busy inside. that's its selling point really take a few steps out of the door and you can gaze lovingly at the Astoria!
Yes, I'll be around with psycosmic from this board. There isn't much to say about me really. If I say that I'm tall with long dark hair and I'll be wearing blue, you will know who I am. I say that before every PJ show and people spot me.. so I hope it works this time!
haha... yeah, you can add me to the list, Scot
you'll be able to spot blue_rain and i'm the short guy who's going to be with her... and i'm quite positive that i'll be wearing something - you can't miss me
i can't wait to meet all you people!
*counting the days*

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.

good call for the suggestion
its gonna be murder when it comes to meeting up with folk... the bar staff will think we're nutjobs... calling each other Blue Rain and Chumfatty and the likes ... we'll maybe have to sort out proper names on the day or folk will think its a travelling group of surreal porn stars or starwars fanatics

I don't want to call anyone by the name of chumfatty!! That could warrant a slap!
I'll be bold right now - my real name is Laura!
Having my hair cut at the Tony & Guy Academy (only £5! you have to sign and promise not to sue them as well) this afternoon... It'll definitely be one of both, but not sure yet which one! Princess Leia look-a-like, Lolo Ferrari... Could go either way

scot or dunkman or whoever's taking care of the list, we should add real names (maybe even pics) although i don't have a problem calling anyone chumfatty...
do pubs in central london take reservations?
it might be difficult to get a table at the royal george... it's of a decent size but we'll also have to keep in mind that it's going to be our headquarter for the day...

Couple of questions for those who know the Astoria and have been to gigs there.
Is it possible to get downstairs from upstairs?
Is upstairs an OK place to be (good view etc)?
And if there's this club starting at 10:30, what time can we expect the band to have to leave the stage at? How long (or short) a show are we likely to be in for?

i'm inclined to go for porn star
get the Princess Leia look going... especially the chained to Jabab the Hut scene... hmmmmmmm
not Lolo Ferrari look as she's dead... plus she looked like a melted barbie doll anyhow

i've got an upstairs ticket also... my friend in Southampton tells me that thats where the celebs/guests friends get put as it's less rowdy... i'm already thinking about what to say to Pete Townsend on the night :cool:
i'm going to try and wiggle myself down the stairs though... better atmosphere i reckon although my pal says the balcony is a great view and you dont get jostled around ... he said you can stand with a pint in hand and watch the bands

Which sounds good, but you can't beat the front row. Be weird to be at a PJ show and be so far back (even though Astoria's hardly a stadium)

Hahaha no that's been proven wrong by an Irish tv programme who went to Germany and went around asking everyone about David Hasslehoff and those who HAVE heard of him aren't impressed with him :cool:
Anywho... got my flight Paid the 106 for it flying early Thursday morning and returning early Sunday.
