If you wanted to go to the live show you are probably too late. I just logged on to a venue (for the second time to see where my seat is) and the site is locked-out - probably overload.

HOWEVER - I logged-on at 7=59am (ready for the 8=00 start) and got to the ticket page, which is actually a payment agency and able to cope with these things. I refreshed until 9 am and - BINGO the "book this event" link went live and --------- Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

So I start from Tunbridge Wells (but not till Dec)

your move...................

could we have Mornington Crescent as an Olympic event?

Any support for the idea?

The Acropolis move has been invalid since Lord Elgin's visit. You have to go via The British Museum nowadays.

No it means you have to go to Westminster to await the argument's ("can we have our marbles back?") outcome outside the Home Office.

Word is there will be a live show originating from Honolulu in the very near future. First move is Kuhio Beach to Diamond Head--you have to time the surf breaks carefully.

Aloha,

As long as it isn't like the one in Weymouth, Dorset. They built a subway system to get across the busy main road to the sea. Trouble is, it doesn't actually take you to the sea, just further along the same side of the busy main road!

Presumably, if you miss the surf break then the next stop is Easter Island?

Mornington Crescent is far too urban for me, I much prefer the new rural version "Macclesfield". Remembering, of course, that the M6 is now out of bounds due to last year's disturbances at the Watford Gap services and roadworks have led to a contraflow system being introduced on the A5 north of Tamworth.

I'm starting from KETTERING.

No need to take God's Wonderful. The many lovely branches of the LMS can transport you anywhere in the known universe as it is well known that this railway specialises in time travel. Legend has it that one train once got as far as Leicester. However, this has never been verified as no one else has ever bothered to try and go there.

Have only just left Kettering owing to the half past August being late due to a lack of unseasonal leaves. At the moment we are speeding toward somewhere else hoping that the coal supplies last.

Morden may not be that safe if lemon curries have been left unattended on the platform. Shocking lack of security awareness.

that I could sneak an advantage. Foiled again.

Yes - had to move to Foiled as Completely Buggered has early closing on a Wednesday and the next bus is not until St.Swithins day for the umbrella market. Next objective is Upton Ogood from where I can get a hay ride to Nevern Ogood where I have obtained lodgings for the night at the Merry Strumpet Inn. The objective is now within striking distance.

I assume that the source is for the egg and chips. Brown or red?
Didn't know that 'Ull on 'Umber boasted such esoteric gastronomic delights, thought the furthest they got was Goole!

Must stop getting sidetracked like this. My Zone 6 travelcard only just lets me get to Tottenham Hale so to go via Hull and Goole is pushing things. Stoke on Trent here I come. I must be potty.
