    Oooh, anderson187 just pointed me towards this thread and I'm temped. Brumingham is a bit of a misson though from all the way down on the south coast, 160miles / 3.5 hours according to google.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Tiggerai, if you want a lift no problem just let me know. Where are you staying by the way and when you heading back south?

    I'll confirm if im going end of this week, need to see if my contract at work is being renewed or not!!

    Agent, do you know of any cheapish hotels that are stayable in? near to where we are going out would be a huge bonus of course!!

    Funkstar, keep in touch on that if you want someone to share a room and 1/2 the costs....

    Depends on what you call cheap ?
    There is an Ibis fairly close (walking distance anyway), they do rooms for about £40pn. There is more "family" run B&B's just outside the city centre, but once you have factored the Taxi into it, not going to be worth it.

    BTW people, if anyone wants to come to Sundissential, i need to know now. Tickets are selling fast with only a few left.
    Im 100% going

    I might be able to meet you guys on the Saturday afternoon (25th), you guys should be around the city centre then. Gotta go to work afterwards, and I'm too old to go clubbing.

    For those thinking of staying at the IBIS hotel (its in the Chinese area), then I suggest you book early, as they tend to have loads of bookings throughout the year.

    Really wish I could make it, even as a newbie it'd be cool, but the wheellchair doesn't travel well, it gets car sick and at 51, the clubbing is not really my cuppa tea (unless its baby seals - NO just kidding !).

    So, have fun, drink plenty of falling down water and boogie till your *feet drop off (*insert body part of your choice).

    Green David !
    Cheers, David
