Sorry to drag this one to the tope again, but if anyone's looking to share accommodation for the festival please send me an email and we can work summat out.
I have a tendency to get very drunk but otherwise am relatively sane.

I remember I did that last time visiting Barcelona. But will that work when there's tens of thousands of festival people in the city?
BTW just booked my flight and the ticket for Barcelona :D
I'd just like to warn that some mates of mine tried that in Madrid two years ago and ended up sleeping on the roof of a public toilet.
In other news, I've tried research on the Roman Languages forum of my universtiy, but idiots there had thus far suggested hitchiking, walking, buying a Kona (I hate Konas. They have this way of luring people into dangerous and useless stunts, injuries everywhere), why not using a plane, and asking some (pressumably) basketball players to take me along. I'll do further research, what's the chance of it selling out soon ?

There is a cheaper (less than half price) if slightly less convenient way of doing it. Anyone wanting to go out of Glasgow mail me and I'll fill you in.
Booked today from Newcastle. Wed till Monday £121 with Easy Jet

My mate Baldrick (Darren) is up for this - can you email him Frads? I can't remember his email off hand, but it's on here somewhere.....I am just finishing work, so havnae got time to dig it out
As Jarvo says.....It's gonnae be mentaaaal
Cheers to both Al and Grahame for sorting everything out for me
Gents.
Went to Barca last year for a long weekend.
We stopped in the Hotel Del Arc.
This was cheap and cheerful and in a great location at the bottom of The Ramblas. It is positioned very close to a Metro stop,so travel to the Forum where the gig takes place would be pretty painless.
Also the hotel is next door to a brothel !!!... ;)
Enjoy your trip fellas...After Rome its the best city in Europe.

And the Oscar for most useful information goes to....
as posted elsewhere its south east of the centre from the look of it
but as the bars are open til 6 do you really need a room?
nb - a word of warning on booking on easyjet - if you are watching flights to see if they change prices be advised that the price will appear to rise if you keep checking the same flight on the same computer - if you've been tracking a price try booking it on a different pc & the price will be less...
