UK Meet Still On?
Is a UK meet for Feb. of next year still on? We had discussed this before, as it's likely I'll be in the UK around that time...so what's up?

I'm still up for it. Whaleboy (formerly elijah) is always up for a drink. Verres I'm nit sure about, but I'll try and talk her into it.
I don't think it was cancelled, so I'm guessing it still is.

I'll be able to make Birmingham.
It's about time we had one outside of the shithole South.

I think Birmingham is a sound idea. And again Mike, you know all the best drinkeries and eateries there

It's all changed since I was there, and none of them are good.
I thought we were going to meet in Oxford 'cause that's where this girl David's staying with will be?

Oxford is fairly easy to get to from Swansea. You want to try getting there from Hull, or by then, Grimsby I suspect...

Swansea to Oxford via Reading takes roughly the same amount of time and requires the same number of changes as Swansea to Birmingham.

i'm fairly sure last time i checked that i can get a train straight from swansea to brum, but i have to change to get to (and, more importantly, back from) oxford. but i'll have another look.

I just checked. Looks like you have to change at Bristol Parkway. You did used to be able to (I was at uni in Brum, had friends in Swansea and lived in Reading so I'm quite familiar with the triangle.)
