Bus? Bus? :eek:

Spose I could if I was feeling desperate. Timing actually looks about right too assuming the train is on time. Joined up thinking? I don't believe it!

Only problems are that it stops at the wrong entrance (AT instead of SL), I'd have to find the bus stop, and I'd still have to figure the getting into SL part.

Not insurmountable though, so thanks for the option.

If I'm actually there at the right sort of time I could easily make the trip out and pick you up I imagine.

If it's open, I will

I'll meet you in the bar when I get there.

I might just at that. I'm still pondering how I'm going to be playing it, and thats a tempting way of doing it.

*Rubs hands together*

Wrecked before midday, it's the way forward! to being chucked out... I'm sure there'll be something to do that early even if the bar isn't open. Like downing tins in the car park.

But seriously, I think I'll aim to leave by 6am, hopefully arriving by 10 at the absolute latest. If the bar's open than all the better.

Better drunk before midday there than in the park the following day. Spinball Whizzer + Beer = *bluergh*

Can we ban the fire alarm please this time? :eek:

I'm posting this in my sleep, i did mean to get round to going to bed about an hour ago, but alas OcUK is depreiving me of sleep as per usual.

Anyway, excellent news freefaller

glad to hear its all done, now i just need to get the other place booked, i'll have a go while im at work tomorrow.

I would pay you this month, but i've blown most of my wages on stuff for my soon to be newly decorated room, thats taken about 2-3 months to get round to doing

. I should have enough spare this month if im careful though. I'll get it to you asap, if push comes to shove and you really need it, get in touch and i'll just use my credit card its not a problem either way for me really. Cheers Will!

Ooooh just noticed there will/should/possibly/probably be horse racing at Uttoxeter race corse on the 20th, which we could attend (usualy £5 or so to get in). Little flutter on the horses and a few drinks (if you're not driving), might end the meet well, especially if you return some money too!

Any put any money on Cheltenham just out of interest?

We're never in too much of a rush to get home after meets , we'll have the Sunday to recover at home anyway !

I say yes to the Gee Gee's !

Not sure if I have already missed the boat here for a room? I was away skiing last week so only just got back to be able to post

On a happier note, I'll be driving up from Marlow (M40 J4) and can pick up 1 or 2 people on the way.

I replied to your email. I shall get in touch with AT and see if I can squeeze you into my room. I only booked a room with 4 beds, but maybe you can share with someone

Piggymon · 20 Mar 2006 at 13:37

You will need to be booked in to gain entry to the waterpark .. you won't be able to sneak in a room :/

I know that's why I said I'd need to get in touch with them to see if they can allow 5 in our room

Whether or not he'll have a bed to sleep on is another matter

Oh man, I just re-read last year's Alton Towers thread and almost got a hernia. Funny stuff in there! Inspired by it, I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I just practiced flipping a beer mat... and caught it in my frickin' mouth! Bring on the comedy hat!

Otacon · 22 Mar 2006 at 22:01

I think we need to invent our own aquatic tomfoolery somehow. Aside from one thing (wave machine iirc), we did it all last year, so we'll need entertainment.
