Anyone near that neck of the woods? Just thinking it would be cool to meet up there sometime next year; the castle; the food; the drink; the atmosphere...

    woo! sounds like a fantastic idea. :)

    though, not sure how big are the chances of me making it. :o

    but I love the idea still. :D

    Just sounding it out, it's early days... but it's easy for me to get to, so thought I'd give it a go.

    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.

    Shite, inaccessible, or just non-existent 'public' transport. :D

    Windsor's a nice place, 15 minutes away from me and as far as I know, no more money goes into Q's pocket from Windsor than from any other town/city.

    Seeing as were probably getting no pearl jam for a year or five, maybe we should all hop on a ryan air cheapie, and see that pearl jem lot over in Dublin or something, you know they have this really nice pop there, black it is.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Nothing is wrong with London other than the fact that I can't get there as frequently as I'd like. Scroll up.

    I second that but actually, that may be pushing my luck a bit too far, to just ditch my baby and partner and jet off to another country. (That's if I'm invited). :)

    sorry HLF, we won't hijack your thread any longer... hmm... dunno if I could even THINK about another trip right now, off to Birmingham next weekend and hopefully London in January so can we leave this til after Christmas :eek:

    I'm definitely 100% up for it though... if we pick a weekend far enough in advance, cheap flight, cheap hostel... blah blah blah :)

    really? It's a long time away... 5 or 6 months... if you put away £20 a week between now and then, that would cover probably most of it.
