We'll meet at the train station, it'll be like out of the Railway Children.

My granddad was a Rolling Stock Inspector for British Rail and when he saw that film version with me he pointed out that the train would've taken much longer to stop than it did and would've crushed that girl!

...thanks, granddad!

Stupid Bobby, serves her right for waving her petticoats around!

edit: Whoa, that is mental. I'd say your best bet is to nick a Boris Bike and cycle all the way up north.

YaYa that is pretty cool actually. If I ever make my way to Sand Diego for comic-con we gotta chill.

Liya and Ed. I just checked National Rail and to get up north would cost me between 48-105 pounds. I'd pay 48 but 105 is actually mad.

Bloody hell. That's just stupid.

Well okay, next time I'm in the area you need to magically become aware of that fact and text me and we'll go have a drink

we'll stay up all night singing OCRs until we can't sing no more!

Monkeyfeet

Hells yeah to both.

Monkeyfeet

I can't figure out the bus routes right now but I hear they are much cheaper

Edcrab

Yeah, I booked in advance and got to Brighton by bus for less than £20 once

Drawback is it takes forever

Monkeyfeet

I study English. I got books to read

Monkeyfeet

Alright if I were to hop a coach tomorrow I would pay 15 pounds for a 2 hour trip to London which is fanatic because I wanted to pick up some stuff and see Harry Potter (which is the only place still playing it)

A coach to Sheffield/Manchester would cost 25 pounds for a 7 hour trip. Not as terrible.

Edcrab

Interesting!

Operation get Monkeyfeet drunk is that much closer

Campion

Whelp guess I missed all the tickets. Oh well

Closed for being another terrible Yaya thread.

Will the next person please put convention and registration info in their OP, thanks.

PS.I hope I can get tickets. Last year was a blast hanging out with forumers and going to things like the special panel w/ Khoo, Kris and Scott.

Yes!! Bogey!! We need to hang and talk about Tron. Also, ALSO-




Ten is the best for securing tickets.

The trick was realising that once the little spinny thing in Chrome turns blue and changes direction, the page request was finished, so I could always tell when I was going to get the busy page and refresh again straight away. Still, what a clusterfuck.

"For the 2008 tickets they didn’t sell out. For the 2009 tickets it took 6 months for the 4 day passes to sell out. For 2010, the 4 day passes sold out in 2 months. Today, the 4 day passes sold out in 3 hours."

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

No SDCC for me this year. D:

Bedigunz

Somewhat related, but is anyone going to C2E2 in Chicago in March?

Pika

Son of a bitch. I bought my tickets about 30 minutes in and it told me they were sold out of 4 day passes so I bought all one day passes. I hope they come up with something better next year because obviously this year was an epic fail several times over.

Ten you are awesome.
Can't wait!!

Oh and I guess London does have a Comic-Con

http://www.londonexpo.com/

I discovered this whilst considering joining a science fiction society at uni. I'm skeptical because then I would be a card-carrying loser and not just a secret one

Monkeyfeet

Actually that is a really pathetic attempt at replicating Comic-con.

Poor show England
