DISTRICT LINE: Severe delays are occurring due to signal failure at Earls Court.

That'll be fun. Oh well, see people later today!

Well, the route that I was working out required things to happen the other way, but that could work - how quick are the buses there, in reality? Is there a stop just North of Sloane Square itself that picks up (I'm thinking this might be quicker than the bus going round the square if it gets held up by traffic) ??

I've tried that one -- it's faster to walk.

Hey everyone ...

Gutted that I can't be there today - at 7am my time (midday yours) I will be thinking of you all! Have fun, and someone do a good write up on a webpage somewhere so that I can literally read all about it.

Play fair, and have a good Zone1' 06!

Geoff.

You two will be unstoppable!

Z - I will have 15 copies of the EP. The eleven or twelve remaining reservers will, of course, have first dibs upon them.

I'm in an internet cafÃƒÂ© just down the road from the meeting place. Ã‚Â£1 an hour. Not bad.

Anyway, yes. Here's what I was going to say, for the benefit of absolutely nobody;

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
