I'll turn into a fly. What's the prize then?

I shall be travelling from deepest Kent, which is as far removed from civilisation as it is possible to get. Brazilians don't know how lucky they are compared to Medway!

I was more impressed when Ricardo came over for BSP and Durutti Column. Not nearly as impressive as that girl who came from america solely for DC!

And i shall be travelling from the caves of romiley. A full 23 mins on the train and then 10 minute walk to the apollo. That is of course, assuming i dont go to the pub. But thats not very likely is it?

The pleasure and the privilege is mine!

Looking forward to catching up with you though

I'll be coming on the Metrolink from...erm....I'll shut up!:D

I can't claim distance records, but my journey looks like this.....

get up 0500 train 0600 bus 0645 boat to scotland 0730 bus 1000 wait for an hour in carlisle arrive mankfest bus docking facility 1630 Begin drinking with vikings 1631

10.5 hrs, that's getting on for a flight from Brazil, thogh not QUITE there.

yes, but several millenia up the evolutionary ladder.

Wasn't fuckin London that invented everything :)

Steve Campbell, President of the "cut out round the M25 with a jigsaw, pitch the slag into the sea and turn the crater into the London Lake" Foundation. Stock it up with Carp and Tench for the people of the outside-the-orbital-ring-of-stupidity bits of the home counties to enjoy.

2 years in the passport office call centre convinced me they put mercury in the water in that town.

coupla brief visits to the lovely chorlton street bus depot. Spent a week in London once...ONCE!

I think it's the way Londoners get snotty on the phone, northerners do too, but if you tell them to fuck off they take it with good grace, and don;t want to start talking to supervisors and stuff (good job, I AM the fookin supervisor ) :)

I handled Leeds pretty well, so i reckon Manc will be ok. Although being from where i am, I'll SO be cousin country cowfreak.

You poor bugger! Are you alright now? Didn't need any counselling afterwards, did you?!

Any Londoners reading this, I'm just jesting....

I spent a year there..... I know, but sorry, it's just 2 painful to talk about.

Been to Stoke too, I rather liked it, even though that's a somewhat unqique point of view. It actually reminded me of Bangor, only with factories (albeit mainlu closed). Did a week on a narrowboat on the 4 counties ring (we visisted stoke by train or bus, on our way to alton towers), best holiday I ever had. always wanted to go and do it again but with mates instead of parent....just 5 people, some calm water and some weed. Come to think of it, I liked everywhere we went on the canal, possibly my brain was warped into permenant joy by all the water (I'm like the flamin man from atlantis, I freak out if I'm too far from water....in chicago I had to make sure I see the lake or (green dyed!) river at least once a day cos the thought of being so far from an ocean was too much to deal with).

London is too much for my bumpkin ass like. I can't handle Belfast on a saturday. I shat myself all the way to the US, and when I got there was gobsmacked that downtown chicago at 1pm was like Belfast at 8pm, not busy at all. the things I DID like about London were, predictably enough, Kew Gardens, hyde park, the river and the underground...I really liked the underground. I like heathrow too, but it's only cos I come from a strictly pale blues only part of the world[1], and it's so interesting to see every shape and shade of the human race just wanderin by doing their thing.

[1] not entirely tre, NI has quite an asian population, mainly Chinese and Korean, but it's really thin on peeps of african origin....too fucking cold probably no matter how many generations ago their forebears were taken from home.
