11:43.41wethrinSo anyway. Gllug New Year drinks, 30th December, anyone?
11:51.45yaMattwethrin, put it in the mailing list and I'm sure people will go
11:52.20ChoHagIf the ISPs are responsible for enabling porn access, does that also make them liable for its quality?
11:57.22wethrinyaMatt: I will

14:43.34wethrindick_turpin: When're you going to buy me a new Mac Pro?
14:47.43dick_turpinI have. It's under your desk. You've been chucking paper in it all morning you dipstick
14:48.05wethrinAh, that's why there was a scrunching sound and lots of confetti around
14:48.47dick_turpinRound things are a waste of space
14:49.00wethrinpah
14:49.34dick_turpinUnless you live in an igloo or a windmill maybe?
14:49.43wethrinWindmills are a waste of space
14:50.13dick_turpinWind power is the technology of the future you Luddite!
14:50.39wethrinHarness hot air from politicians
14:50.49wethrinAnyhow. I've booked my FOSDEM tickets and accommodation. Have you?
14:51.41dick_turpinwethrin: No, because you have not picked up the tab on the reaming £425.00
14:51.50dick_turpinremaining
14:57.43wethrinMy train tickets were £170. And that wasn't the cheapest ones available
14:57.53wethrinYou should be able to do it for about £140
14:58.04wethrinMy hotel for 2 nights was just under £100
14:58.23wethrinOh, that's train coming from Durham. Not just from London
15:10.45dick_turpinwethrin: It's set at £700 if it doesn't reach target everyone gets their money back and it's game over
15:13.11dick_turpinI 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
15:23.56wethrinAre you coming from Wolverhampton?
15:25.59dick_turpinYeah, 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
15:27.10dick_turpinwethrin: Seriously though, if the campaign fails I wont be there. Matt (yaMatt) will though.
15:37.15wethrinIs Bloxwich your closest station?
15:37.21wethrin(National Rail, that is)
15:39.44dick_turpinYeah, it's a 3-4 minute walk from my house.
15:40.10dick_turpinIt's like a little branch line that Beeching forgot to axe
15:41.11wethrinAh. It's not major enough for Eurostar to know about it
15:41.26wethrinwhat's your nearest bigger station that it connects into?
15:45.22dick_turpinBirmingham New Street I believe it stops there, or is it Birmingham International?
15:46.22dick_turpinSee 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
15:58.40wethrinRight, with 6 seats left, you can do Birmingham New Street to Brussels for £65.50
15:58.55wethrinleaving at 1230, arriving 1805
15:59.52wethrinSunday, you can leave 1856, arrive 2239; or 1952, arrive 2355 for £62
16:00.03wethrinPlus whatever it'll cost you to get from Bloxwich to New Street
16:01.16wethrinSo that's £127.50. Add £100 for hotel for a couple of nights. And you're still under £250 for travel and accommodation

16:18.21dick_turpinwethrin: Well we'll have to see for next year then won't we? Unless Mark Shuttleworth stumps up the difference so he can kick me all round Brussels
