11:43.41 | wethrin | So anyway. Gllug New Year drinks, 30th December, anyone? |
11:51.45 | yaMatt | wethrin, put it in the mailing list and I'm sure people will go |
11:52.20 | ChoHag | If the ISPs are responsible for enabling porn access, does that also make them liable for its quality? |

14:43.34 | wethrin | dick_turpin: When're you going to buy me a new Mac Pro? |
14:47.43 | dick_turpin | I have. It's under your desk. You've been chucking paper in it all morning you dipstick |
14:48.05 | wethrin | Ah, that's why there was a scrunching sound and lots of confetti around |
14:48.47 | dick_turpin | Round things are a waste of space |
14:49.00 | wethrin | pah |
14:49.34 | dick_turpin | Unless you live in an igloo or a windmill maybe? |
14:49.43 | wethrin | Windmills are a waste of space |
14:50.13 | dick_turpin | Wind power is the technology of the future you Luddite! |
14:50.39 | wethrin | Harness hot air from politicians |
14:50.49 | wethrin | Anyhow. I've booked my FOSDEM tickets and accommodation. Have you? |
14:51.41 | dick_turpin | wethrin: No, because you have not picked up the tab on the reaming £425.00 |
14:51.50 | dick_turpin | remaining |
14:57.43 | wethrin | My train tickets were £170. And that wasn't the cheapest ones available |
14:57.53 | wethrin | You should be able to do it for about £140 |
14:58.04 | wethrin | My hotel for 2 nights was just under £100 |
14:58.23 | wethrin | Oh, that's train coming from Durham. Not just from London |
15:10.45 | dick_turpin | wethrin: It's set at £700 if it doesn't reach target everyone gets their money back and it's game over |
15:13.11 | dick_turpin | I agree it looks like it might be £150 - £180 over budget but at the time when I looked at it that seemed the right price. It was the official hotels that bumped the campaign price up and the fact I was doing the journey price wrong and pricing from here to London then London to Belgium |
15:23.56 | wethrin | Are you coming from Wolverhampton? |
15:25.59 | dick_turpin | Yeah, ish. Bloxwich which is very posh I'll have you know. If it works I think I'll fly now tbh as Brum is better. Although I would have liked the experience of Eurostar |
15:27.10 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Seriously though, if the campaign fails I wont be there. Matt (yaMatt) will though. |
15:37.15 | wethrin | Is Bloxwich your closest station? |
15:37.21 | wethrin | (National Rail, that is) |
15:39.44 | dick_turpin | Yeah, it's a 3-4 minute walk from my house. |
15:40.10 | dick_turpin | It's like a little branch line that Beeching forgot to axe |
15:41.11 | wethrin | Ah. It's not major enough for Eurostar to know about it |
15:41.26 | wethrin | what's your nearest bigger station that it connects into? |
15:45.22 | dick_turpin | Birmingham New Street I believe it stops there, or is it Birmingham International? |
15:46.22 | dick_turpin | See that the bitch. If it's International that means two trains before I even get on the Eurostar and that's when the price starts bumping up |
15:58.40 | wethrin | Right, with 6 seats left, you can do Birmingham New Street to Brussels for £65.50 |
15:58.55 | wethrin | leaving at 1230, arriving 1805 |
15:59.52 | wethrin | Sunday, you can leave 1856, arrive 2239; or 1952, arrive 2355 for £62 |
16:00.03 | wethrin | Plus whatever it'll cost you to get from Bloxwich to New Street |
16:01.16 | wethrin | So that's £127.50. Add £100 for hotel for a couple of nights. And you're still under £250 for travel and accommodation |
