    I need some advice... feel free to PM me, don't mean to clog up this thread with a topic that is a bit off topic.

    My wife and I are heading to London for 4 days following the Dublin show. Wondering what parts of the city I should be looking for hotels. I have heard the "West End" is most convenient.. however looks like the west end is made up of many neighborhoods (Westminster, Victoria, Soho).

    Being in an area with great pubs and nightlife (not rowdy, but a good selection) is more important to us than being near the tourist landmarks. Any suggestions will be most appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    They sell it in WH Smiths in Victoria. So I'm sorted! :D
    Have a look on their website - it should be on there already.

    You'll find some hotels for about £50 a night in Victoria and also Kings x. Victori's probably best as it's not so sleazy. I'm not sure if you'll find anything cheaper. Most of the Astoria crew stayed in the 'Farringdon Travel Lodge'. I don't know what price that is. As for good bars and nightlife - Upper street, Islington (Highbury and Islington tube, or Angel tube), or Camden town aren't bad. Hope that helps?

    Seems to be worse as nobody seems to have gotten any tickets. I had the site up and refreshed and refreshed and the listing didn't show up at all :(

    I was about 4 or 5 from front on Stone's side... now bear in mind I joined the queue at about 5.45pm thats pretty good going... also bear in mind the venue holds about a 1/5th or less of the point and that at the Astoria we had no special entry priviledges... again i was pretty close.... fuck at the Astoria everyone was close :)

    i just think standing from before 9.00am is pointless when we get in early anyway... along with a few hundred others right enough, but the Point is a big place isnt it? The ticket box doesnt open till 12noon anyway so where are you going to queue??? do you know if there are seperate queues for 10club members or GA? what if you spend 4 hours in the wrong queue and then the 10C ticket box tells you need to go into a different entrance??

    question questions
    Yep, 4 or 5 back in a much smaller crowd :) . Who knwos what way they'll do it this time. Besides I enjoyed the queue, wouldn't have stayed there if I didn't. Had good company and a good laugh and I found it was a great build up to the concert - and at least I was relatively comfortable, not needing to go to the toilet all the time and stuff like that after drinking. I'll find somewhere to queue and no I don't know the answers but I'm not gonna turn up at 12noon along with everyone else :cool:
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    The Farringdon travelodge would be no good for what he seems to want. Very quiet area - doesn't seem to be much nightlife within walking distance.

    i wasnt getting at you or anything just that I (and others) think its a bit mad to be standing in a queue pre-9am when we get early entry anyway :confused: .... we dont know where we are supposed to get early entry anyway, so like i said... you could be standing in the wrong queue for ages

    just dont see the point but each to their own i suppose :confused:

    is anyone else queueing this early or is it Me, Dave and Byrnzie that are a bit mad waiting until 5ish??? :confused:
    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'll more than likely be wankered by the time we meet then. :D
    By the way, what booze did you want me to bring to the queue again? A bottle of red wasn't it? :confused: (Although you'll probably have to remind me again on the day!)
