    Yes! There must be pictures of the meetup. Age or no, good quality (or even poor quality) is all we need.

    Odd though that the weather means you actually arrvie early. Normally one leaf on the tracks is enough for a three hour delay.

    If you're one of the few taking the bus from the train station to mine tonight, there are disruption to the bus you'll be taking, but you shouldn't have to worry.

    If you have problems, feel free to phone me.

    Also, will anyone be on the Manchester-Cleethorpes train tomorrow morning? leaving Stockport around 9.30?

    Fingers crossed the snow is not bad enough that I can't get to Sheffield.... already had a panic when I realised that the train to Doncaster I was planning on taking was canceled... Thank god for Wakefield.

    All of you have a really good time - I'll be thinking of you, and pitying you all for being inflicted with Castaras without me there to keep her under control...

    I too demand photographs.

    Currently I'm on a train from Shrewsbury to Stockport. It's like an adventure. At the moment, joy of joys the train is stationary.
    Also the camera I'm bringing may not work. Further more, train station coffee is awful, I advise against it, this is a lesson I've learned countless times, yet I hold onto hope.
    I now have a blog. Have a look if you wish. It contains those naughty profanities that you won't find here. If you like what you read send me a PM, or if you don't like it. I'd like to know how many people here read it.

    Avatar done by me. If you want one then you clearly have no taste. I'll do one happily. You just have no taste.

    So, meetup update: Puns are plentiful (One might say we have an apundance of them), and randman is really freaking tall. Also, from what I heard, Eldpollard is several different kinds of heretic. And there were no other notable conversations at all which it would be against forum rules to recapitulate. None at all.

    The post above was not written by Lensman - some evil hacker (who shall be nameless) used my computer. I will throw the villain out into the cold, cold snow as a punishment. She will doubtless turn up somewhere else begging to be let in and asking for shelter for the night. Beware this devious, scheming wretch!!
