Hmmm good point I have a feeling that I hold the current fastest time with Dr Who, we had a real "stormer" on Park Challenge II, but as to where the times are... :?

If you're going to declare it a rant, could you at least go into a bit more detail? Though perhaps that would be best done in the politics thread :)

Uh huh - Politics thread please. It's one of the few threads where arguing is encouraged!

I have been told by my parents that if I want to come (indefinite as of yet) then I will be "not allowed" to go solo :x :roll: . Anyone wishing to co-join with me? The people of West Harrow don't really fancy seven to nine hours on the tube...

I'm doing routes etc. but if someone would like to alter it slightly then be my guest before I print it. PM me if interested.

Could be a bit later considering that with an 1134 start the record setters would finish at 1859!

Good luck to all of you trying this, the tube was hellish on Saturday through Central London at times.
