It's why I don't often use free WiFi.

At times like that, I'm thankful that I have mobile broadband.

How long are you on that train for?

melon 07 Apr 2013 14:19

We get off at Glasgow central at about 10 to 3 I think

meat_loaf 07 Apr 2013 22:56

So wish I never sold that Glasgow ticket now, oh well at least I've got Sheffield coming up :-/

I've started a new round of the R&RHOF in my sleep :bleh:

AndrewG 09 Apr 2013 01:15

The racecourse shows put a different perspective on the tour I think. I wonder if these outdoor shows would really be the end or even further arena shows for late 2013 are planned/in people's minds. I can't imagine saying goodbye to the UK at some racecourses. I would have thought dedicated arenas where more well travelled fans would flock to would be better rather than a mixed crowd consisting of people who simply want to witness a day at the races as well. Maybe I'm over thinking this...

LucyK! 09 Apr 2013 10:21

In which case, I'm over thinking it too! :lol:

Hope the bed is at least comfy! :-)

Next time in London you could maybe try booking via Lastminute.com. Sometimes you can get good deals on "top secret hotels". Fair enough it might not be as close by (usually you can figure out which hotel it is anyway) but you can often get a four or five star hotel at a good price. I stayed in the "Grange St. Paul's Hotel" a few years ago for about 100 quid per night which is good for London prices. Best hotel I've ever stayed in. Very luxurious.

Adje 09 Apr 2013 23:16

Last time we stayed at the Waldonia hotel. Cheap and clean. But too far from the 02. We chose for the Ibis because of the location.

melon 10 Apr 2013 03:13

Spent the day sightseeing.... more to come tomorrow!

:twisted: :nope:
If her death proves one thing, she was certainly a polorising figure :lawl:

A lot of people think she was the best thing that happened to this country, while the fact that Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead is flying up the charts shows that a lot of people feel very differently.

Each is entitled to their own point of view.



The one thing I don't like, I find annoying and distasteful, is the bandwagon jumpers.

Maggie Thatcher was in power from 1979 - 1990.
I was 3 when she won the election that brought her to power, and I was 14 when she was kicked out.
For most of her time in office, the thing that concerned me most was playing with my Action Man, watching cartoons, and the odd game of offground tick.
I had no time for political goings on, new sod all about the government, and quite frankly, even John Craven bored the crap out of me. :zzz:

I've done little to educate myself further in the subject of 1980's British politicts.
There are too many other good and interesting things in life. :mrgreen:

I don't feel I am educated enough on the subject to have a strong opinion, so I don't pretend to have one.


So it annoys me somewhat to see vids of some 18 year old tossers chanting "MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE, DEAD DEAD DEAD"!
They were not around when she was in power, were not even born.
Admittedly I can't say for sure, but they don't look like students of political science. :bleh:
Perhaps it's just me who's surprised by the ammount of teenage proffessors of 1980's British politics :roll:
How can you hate someone so much if you know nothing about what they stood for?

From what I understand (which again, isn't a great deal) she screwed a lot of people over.
Those people have every right not to like her, and even to celebrate her death.
For instance, I have a friend who survived Hilsborough, and I know it's something that has changed who he is. He quite rightly feels bitter about the police cover up. MT was in office at the time, and many people believe that she was directly involved in that cover up.
He has good reason to dislike her so I don't blame him for feeling the way he does over her death.

She was quite harsh to the north of England. People of my dad's generation will know how harsh, and base their opinions on that knowledge.
Me? I was busy watching The Real Ghostbusters.

But the banwagon jumpers are somethig else.
IMHO, getting drunk and chanting those chants purely for shits and giggles, hateing for fun rather than reason, robs something from those who have a genuine grievance against MT.

So next Wednesday, when it's her funeral, i'll be neither glued to the telly with a bunch of paper tissues or hiding in the crowd along the procession route with a concealed box of eggs, i'll be going to a Meat Loaf show.

That suite me fine :mrgreen:

BostonAngel 16 Apr 2013 08:51

At about 2:50 pm Eastern time on April 15th, two explosive device went off near the finish line of THe Boston Marathon in a section of the city known as Copley Square. 3 people were killled, including an eight year old boy. At least 144 were injured. 18 of those were critical. 2 Boston Police Officer were inured but are expected to make a full recovery. There were at least 3 other explosive devices located which were successfully denoted by the bomb experts b4 they were able to do any damage. There were have been more devices that didn't go off. Cell phone service was just off in that area of the city. Most of that area of the city will be closed down for days and it is a very busy active area. Case has been handed over to the FBI and naturally a full & intensive investigation is taking place. There is a person of interest being questioned in connection with the blasts at a local Boston hospital. That is what is known and has been confirmed. There are so many other rumors & stories going around
It is such a sad tragic day here in my city of Boston. My heart aches for those affected. Prayers & positive are needed for all those injured and the families of those killed. Prayers & good thoughts also needed for the city to come together & be strong

I am so sorry for you Cathy and the city of Boston. Our thoughts go out to you and all in Boston affected by this. It's truly shocking, i just don't understand what people hope to achieve by this.
