Wedg1e has PMed me to say he's coming.  Regarding the directions Wedg1e says:

HHGG . . . ? Sorry I must be a bit slow today . . . ?
I could put my copy of "The End of Suburbia" on the table I suppose. Or "Cuba" would probably be a bit more optimistic!

We'll just cry into our pints - that should make us stand out.

I guessed what HHGG was but don't know what's on the back cover, but assume it's the end of the world as we know it? Or does it depend on the issue of the book?
Will be off t'internet now 'til Sunday so if the meeting's cancelled at the last minute rest assured that I turned up and had a drink on behalf of you all! Hopefully.
Cheers! |

Only a few hours to go guys! We're getting the tram from Piccadilli around 7 - 7.15pm so not sure what time that'll get us to Bury.
Andy - I can't wait to see what PO mascot you'll have chosen.

OK, got a lift and not on standby for work, so barring real emergencies or TEOTWAWKI I'll see you all there.

We had a really good time too. Great to meet new people and a great venue. Well done to Candy for travelling so far to meet us!
I especially like that we were the last people in there and had be be asked to leave as they were closing.

Thanks to Andy and his other-1/2 for letting me stay over (and get to see the PV and the frogspawn!)
