Brittens 2009 - 22-28 August

[Disco]

Lets not forget the crawlspace into the attic, that could hold a few people who don't mind dust, spiders, and lead bricks

I just managed getting megabus tickets for a couple of quid return as suggested, which I am thrilled about I checked right after and the same tickets were going for 6x the price  8)

Magintz and I will be arriving at 9:30pm the night before and leaving at 7:20am the morning after Brittens officially ends, funny how it ends up being crazy late or early.

I am officially unofficially putting my name down as a maybe for this. I'll see how funds are early August.

[Matti]

I'm 14! Can I join?

Just kiddin'.

[AGA]

Nope. Minimum age is 18, I'm afraid.

[Layabout]

Anyone driving from Brisbane?

[Stee]

Isn't Brisbane in Australia? If your driving I hope your going in an electric car with lots of spare batteries or one of these



Which if your lucky will get you to britain before the weather causes your car to breakdown 

[magintz]

Layabout,

Anyone driving from Brisbane?

Sure thing if you can spring for fuel.

Let's see.

The distance from London, England to Brisbane, Australia is 10273 miles (16532 km); 20546m round trip.

I think an average car gets about 35 mpg, so I'm going to need about 588 gallons of fuel.

A litre of fuel costs about 94.9p (think that's about what it is around me) so that's £4.32 a gallon.

So if you can chip in £2540.16 for fuel... I'll pick you up.

(nb, it's late and I'm sure I've made a mathematical mistake... feel free to correct any of this)

[Pumaman]

I'll do it for £2499.99.

[Stupot]

What's the plan? 

[Creed Malay]

Unforseen circumstances now lead to brittens being brought to an end on the friday 28th of AUg, sorry guys! YOu can turn up two days early (sat 22nd) instead, if you like!

Hmm, my tickets have me leaving for London on 1 September at 07:20 :/ Looking to get replacement ones of the 28th. Is anyone driving up from the London-ish or close area that could take 2 on the way home (and possibly the way up)? I'll have to check, but we may be interested in seeing about going the couple days before if enough people want to turn up then as well. In return I promise petrol money and a few laughs here and there.

Also, since Magintz has gone and got a job he won't we able to make it this time, so in his stead I will be bringing this person.

[Creed Malay]

You could crash at my place for another couple days, I guess, but I will not be there!

Lies!

[Creed Malay]

So uh, who all is still planning on coming to this anyways?

[Stupot]

My plan was always to come to this, and I still intend to show my face... but I'm not quite sure what days I'll be able to do.  I'm on holiday for two weeks on tuesday and come back on Aug 11th, but the folks at my summer job are expecting me to come back and work right through 'til the middle of September when I go back to uni.  So I've somehow got to tell them that I'm going to be buggering off again at the end of August.

[Trihan]

I'm going to try and make it.

Edit: Is anyone else going from Scotland?

[Disco]

So uh, who all is still planning on coming to this anyways?

Well I arrive in UK on the 18th, so could go for the new dates depending on if I can scratch a ride, though I'll certainly be there one way or another.

[Matt Frith]

Lies!

Im afraid the rumours are true.  Consider this my triumphant return to lurking.  Now I need a new avatar. 

Hope you are all well.

[Creed Malay]

Okay, kittens, only a few weeks left. Who is still on for this, and how are you getting here?

[veryweirdguy]

Yeah, I can't make this. Far too poor I'm afraid. Maybe next year! MAYBE GODDAMNIT.
