Count me in please, Simon. And Andrea-with-a-question-mark. I'm working on it.

 

[theclaud]

Thanks! Is there a reason some people are in Arial, and others Verdana? Is a hierarchy implied?

Is that Andrea 'Would-y'?...just asking.

Is that Andrea 'Would-y'?...just asking.

Yup. She's being a bit wimpy about the weather. Which is fairly ridiculous, as she's currently considering a job with the British Antarctic Survey.

 

[Aperitif]

Advise her she needs one of these then Claudine...

all in Century Gothic now - I'd copied part of the list from Excel

An interesting choice! I love it in print, but I'm not convinced it works on screen*


*Sometimes I worry that I'm this boring in person as well. I really think that Verdana only looks good in 8pt.

 

[Aperitif]

I can't wait to meet mikee's mate Monsieur Plusone...

If anybody is about can anyone tell me how long it takes to ride from King's Cross/St Pancras to Hyde Park Corner please? Or even an approximate guess. I know it is about 4 miles but have no experience of cycling in central london.

Thanks in advance.

You coming down for the FNRttC then? Cool. My guess is about 20 mins.

Thanks. I am. After a few months of reading these threads and meeting people like Topcat1, MacBludgeon, mike e etc I decided I should get round the country a bit more, or rather get back round the country a bit more.

twenty minutes should do it - you should book to arrive in London before 23.15.

Chances are you won't be the only one. Why not pm Mike e and Flying Dodo and see if they're coming in to London on the train that night? It's the kind of ride that's best done in company the first time.

 

[marinyork]

What about exactly 23:15? I am aware of the time issue. There are other trains, like I can go up to Doncaster or get a much earlier train but I wasn't exactly sure what you can do in central London for 2 or 3 hours. Mike e was quite helpful about what sort of times home after the SMRbtl.

P.S. Dellzeqq you have a PM containing something you wanted.

 

[dellzeqq]

23.15 means you HPC at about 11.40, which is muster time, so any time before that is good. I think there's a direct train from Sheffield to St. Pancras that arrives at about 23.15
