I would love to see Major Major take on Londinium but would prefer to have at least some idea of where I'm staying. Otherwise I will be sleeping with the other tramps and druggies outside Camden Market | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |

||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
did you read the important info
THE BUS STOP IS CHANGED TO OUTSIDE THE ADELPHI HOTEL, NOT IN THE NORMAL BUS DEPOT |
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
right hostels/hotels
I would recommend london backpackers, its cheap and near hendon tube station which aint that far from camden http://www.ukhostels.com/location.html PLUS its on the same line as camden town http://www.oxfordtube.com/assets/london/underground_map.jpg |
||||
| Dave |
I've booked mine and Nathan's megabus of joy, what a jolly boys' outing this is turning into | ||||
| Gibbo |
I will probably see you guys there, London is only an hour on the Oxford Tube yay | ||||
| StinkyP |
That £16 for the bus will seem cheap when you see the drinks prices there. | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
not true, the drinks in camden wont be as bad as central london, even so alot more xpensive than here, bit more than home but still way cheaper than european cities, im sure i was robbed in rome! | ||||
| Louis |
its actually not that bad the prices around the central area of london | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
a general pub isnt as bad as you think, but if you wana go to a posh place then you can easily find one | ||||
| EmmersoN |
He was only having a joke! No need to all bomard him with facts! | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
i dont do jokes about london, I have to take any sort of expedition to the capital VERY seriously | ||||
| Louis |
that hostel looks fine to me | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
if enough of us wana go there I can phone and ask for us to be in the same dorm, must let me know asap tho | ||||
| Louis |
i was thinking, should we tr.y and find somewhere a bit closer to central london because the tube finishes about 12am, so we dont wanna be stuck in a pub then having to walk to hendon which is quite a way out | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
It's called the bus, they'll go on til about 3am, if you can find a cheap accomodation close by then yeah go for that but will b xpensive closer to london central | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
right so has anyone found any other suitable accomodation? | ||||
| Dave |
I'm perfectly fine with the original idea. I've always wanted to see the sights of Hendon | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
could you do the honor of telling people and ill book it this afternoon, so
Me Dave Louis Neil Conor Liam Nathan ...? That it? |
||||
| Major Neil |
nope
Kay too!! But she's only staying 1 night! shes going back on the Saturday |
||||
| Dave |
I'll tell me then
Dave, That cock who doesn't like Monty Python :P's booking the hostel in London |
||||
| Dave |
Ok Dave you sexy mangod | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
oh shit yeah, right I'll rub to book it so we're in the same room, if not then tough titties | ||||

||||

Surely it's not the best form to abuse/criticise the top act before they meet you... |
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
£16 per person per night as its a weekend and short notice, booked in an 18 bed dorm, woohoo, im officially ur manager | ||||
| Dave |
Very nice, maybe you can get Louis censored | ||||
| Louis |
I was just making a critical analysis | ||||
| Gibbo |
He sounds a bit more like Thom Yorke to me, they don't sound so original but I like Bends-era Radiohead so I'm happy. I don't think Major Major are quite big enough to start slagging off other bands yet, but you're still pretty much right.
Anyway, I am looking forward to this gig because Camden is boss and it'll be a nice weekend out. Should only take me about an hour on the bus to get there too. When will you guys be going home? |
||||
| Louis |
sunday 3rd June | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
btw we have to check out at 10am on sunday | ||||
| Louis |
doh, well we can walk round for hours until the bus lol | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
getting across london will kill time trust me
p.s i have paid for it so next time you see me you owe me £32 unless your kay and you owe me £16, if not I'll send the boys round 
|
||||
| Dave |
Oh God! He already has my thumbs!
What time does the bus leave on the 3rd? Take 10am away from it and tell me the remainder of hours spent stumbling around the capital so I can pack my umbrella hat |
||||
| Louis |
3pm i believe it leaves | ||||
| Louis |
5 hours of rambling | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
we're best killing time once we get to the bus station on the sunday as the tube has proved unpredictable for me in getting across london | ||||
| Dave |
Where do we get the bus from? (I should have checked this myself) | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
outside the adelphi hotel as the bus station is closed | ||||
| Dave |
No I mean the bus in London to get home, is it at the top of the London Eye? | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
i assume where we get dropped off, victoria square | ||||
| Louis |
yeah its victoria bus station. as long as we get there about 30mins before the bus leaves i reckon it will be ok. and the tube is always great when ive been to london, so we have nothing to worry about. | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
AFTER THE BOMBINGS THO? I flew back from LA few weeks after the bombings and it was a nightmare! | ||||
| Louis |
yeah ive been 3 times since the bombings and the tube has been fine to use | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
we'll see if you eat your words | ||||
| Louis |
hmmmmm....we'll see.... | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
oh we'll see alright, we'll see....like.....the north sea! | ||||
| Gibbo |
We went to London two weeks after the bombings one time. It was fine 
|
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
i might have bumped it to you had i known you in a city with a population of 5 million | ||||
| EmmersoN |
Hahaha... that logic is fantastic |
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
I'm sure you people visit a different london, something always happens to me, train cancelled, dropped phone, missed tube, attempt at being pick pocketed, bum raped. I always come back with a blood pressure of 180/80 (trust me thats high) | ||||
| Louis |
lol, lets hope it continues to work 
|
||||
| EmmersoN |
Someone works in a hospital!... its meaningless to most of us tho (well to me at least!) |
||||
| Dave |
4 out of those 5 things are your fault |
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
if only i knew how to prevent the 5th | ||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
{makes mental note never to travel with That cock who doesn't like Monty Python :P} {realises what im doing in 2 weeks time} {says "damn it" loudly} |
||||
| Louis |
its only a week away | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
wow a few days away, im ill prepared | ||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
arnt we all | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
can we please do something cockney this weekend, like eat a swan in a basket?
Also check in time at the hostel at the latest is 5pm so we could all go and check in then get back to camden or a few of us could take the stuff check in then be back in plenty of time for the gig (or the cock fest depends on what i feel like doing) |
||||
| Louis |
i think it would be best that as soon as we arrive we get the tube up to the hostel and check in. | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
good plan, we can dump gear and have a sprot about hendon then aswell | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
Right James and Nulty are booked for friday and saturday. I have printed off maps for the hostel, barfly and the underground so i know exactly where were going. Did you know there is like ANOTHER gig on after yours? For the Camden barfly its better for us to get off at Ch.alk Farm station as its closer (i have a map of this) plus its a stop closer to hendon, wooohoo!!!! Plus Ihave also printed off bus times and route details for getting back from camden to hendon. The last tube is like 12:40 and the buses go ontil 330am. Im dead excited now!
Right I'm going to tesco l8r, any requests for booze? I have some plastic cups, a bottle of wine, a bottle of beer and a 1/3 bottle of vodka which will be drunk this w.e. |
||||
| Major Neil |
i love you | ||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
alright save it for bedtime, we can spoon in the hostel, do you want to be the little spoon or the big spoon? | ||||
| Louis |
well done That cock who doesn't like Monty Python :P! im well excited too now, gonna be great
|
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
does everyone know where to get the bus from 2moz? | ||||
| Dave |
Outisde the Adelphi? don't forget the reservation number for the bus
I too am made up that somebody has stepped up to the plate to organise everything to the most meticulous detail, I'm really looking forward to it now, it should be cockneytastic |
||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
you wouldn't believe the detail i have organised this to. I've barley had time to sort my beard out, which btw im in too minds with, as its pretty bold but i dont think i look like a tit | ||||
