Nicolas walked into a bar. 
He said "Ouch!"
It was an iron bar.

I could bring my bank manager; he's Welsh (and he's been winding me up

     Heh, no need for apologies Dr.!  ;)

      I'm a Swindonian myself, but moved here about 14-15 years ago now.

     Yeah, Wales seems to have a good team now. I'm a bit of a fan because I 
remember those days with JJ Williams and Co. when younger.

      Anyway, what time are we all meeting up? The Jack Horner looks great, 
and I *think* I've been there before many years ago. I can get to London by 
2pm, and then I'll go see my Sister in Old Street and then I'll high-tail it 
to see you miserable lot. ;) Kidding, Kidding! ;) So what time? Gotta say, 
I'm looking forward to meeting you all, really. :)

Oh this is fun. Just in case stuff is cancelled (sorry it's still on at  
the moment) I decided to have a look at train timetables (not trusting my  
car at the moment). Now getting there's no problem Kiddy-Snow Hill-walk  
over to New Street-Euston about every half hour or so, been there done  
that, getting back on the other hand...

Well the planner offers me a choice of leaving from Euston, or Marylebone  
however the last train runs at 21:30 and 21:40 respectively, after that  
and the next runs at 08:40. I could catch a later train and change at  
Northampton so long as I don't mind waiting until 08:00. Even if I do take  
the last direct train from Euston the last train from Snow Hill for  
Kidderminster leaves half-an-hour before I even get there and the next one  
is not until 09:30 I can't even catch a bloody bus from Birmingham as  
everything shuts down overnight.

So unless I stay overnight it's basically - Hi everyone, oops gotta go.  
Gotta love our public transport system :-)

Mentioned this journey to someone last night and they said "Why are you  
trying to go through Birmingham when you can use Worcester" and yes I can  
go Kiddy to Worcester and then back through Kiddy to get to Birmingham  
although this time it's Moor Street not Snow Hill and I can get back at  
just past midnight and wait until nine hours for a train back home.  
Trouble is I'm still not trusting my car enough to even get me to Brum.

Oo ar oo ar we be in the sticks here and get up with the chickens and go  
to sleep with the cows why would we be wanting transport past 22:00?

Have you had decades of a Conservative government trying to get everyone  
to use private cars too?

Seriously though we're supposed to be a major power, built on industry and  
helping lead the world in a greener way; and the only feasible method to  
travel the country at night is by private transport. I've got it, it's a  
conspiracy by the hoteliers to make people stay the night :-)

If it makes it more worthwhile, we could meet earlier (at least I
could). I don't think I trust myself to pub food so I will eat before
meeting and will probably be round that area from about 4 pm. 
I know what you mean about the travelling on public transport. I've
just been travelling in the Holland/Belgium area on a Sunday service.
It can be done but is it worth it, maybe not :)

Are there not buses from Bham to Stourbridge? Or are you too far out in 
the cun'ryside? Mind you even if there were buses most of them seem to 
stop running just after 11 from the city end of the routes. Madness; 
many of them run till 1am inbound - surely it's more useful to have them 
run late from the centre?

If it was 100% me being there I'd be tempted, but other stuff is still on  
so I'm not going to suggest a big alteration of everyone's time just on  
the off-chance I'll make it; next time a different schedule perhaps.

On the good news friends were right there is a train from Worcester to  
London it just doesn't reach as far as Kiddy heh. The last train out of  
Paddington leaves at ~21:55 (next one at 08:40 so not something I'd want  
to miss) driving/taxi in and out of Worcester is sooo much easier then  
bloody Brum.

The daft thing is that this is a shopping thing I do every so often (much  
easier when I had a direct train to New Hill), just it's a  
morning/afternoon thing so I've never looked past closing time; nice to  
find out about the Worcester trains though, just inertia kept me going  
through Brum after I lost the direct route.

Might be possible Brum-Stourbridge-Kidderminster-Stourport, but I've found  
a better rail route from Worcester anyway although heh the last bus leaves  
at 19:19 with the next at 08:16; oo bloody arr.

How about outside "Forbidden Planet" about 4? I am going there anyway

So... should I arrive with my hair normal or demented?

Also, should I wear normal clothes or walk round wearing one of my 
T-shirts from Zazzle?

Heh. Damn, maybe I should have got one printed that says "DANGER: 
POV-Ray Mascot" on it in psychedelic colours?

Or maybe just "I'M WEIRD"...

Actually, I think an "Instant Tea-Shirt" would be one you soak to make 
tea.

Eww.  I think I'll stop there.

But you were not yet arrived on planet Earth then. Tea has been used
as a dye since olden times. I've also made Tea wine, it is a tonic
wine.
