I work every other sunday. . . .and friday from 7pm until 1 am.

The other week I have a long weekend though.

I have heard that a new low price flight will open between Copenhagen and Newcastle, which is perfect for when I want to visit my family in Richmond. I better check how the Newcastle-Oxford could be aranged.

I know this is not really an event, but tomorrow I will be attending a LotR movie marathon at the Imperial movie theater.

I just found out that a flight to London should only be around 50-70£. . .so it should be possible to go if school does not come in the way.

Now I just need to find out how much a train ticket is from Stansted to Oxford and who else is going. As much as I love to be Tolkien Geeky I doubt I will be going if there is no prospect of meeting downers. . .

So who is planing on going to the Oxonmoot?

I are seriously going!

The last time I tried I was annoyed to find that I couldn't but not this time! NOT THIS TIME! *runs to the hills*

Coaches will be cheaper and run 24/7

http://www.londontoolkit.com/travel/stanstead_rail.htm

and probabaly also cheaper from London to Oxford. They will take longer especially at rush hour though.

I am planning on going at least for the lectures and I probably will stay Saturday night though if it is only Saturday I may make my own arrangements for accomodation.

Call to arms.... well pens
http://www.tolkiensociety.org/oxon/2007/Info.html

Shall we persuade Dave to do one so I don't get caught in one that turned out to discuss the significance of the a bit of the film I missed because it during my dash to the loo about 2.5 hrs + trailers and a cinema small (ie bucket sized ) drink in. Even the consolation of Murray Smith getting impassioned and sounding just like Feargal Keane wasn't quite enough to help.


And since they have 20 minute slots... well I'd love to expound my theories about Blondes having more fun in ME but I am not sure I could cope with Murray Smith getting impassioned and Feargal Keanlike as he tore my paper apart .....

Actually the Cambridge Seminar sounds interesting ..and I have never been to the Other Place....

narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
I always go to Oxonmoot, we should all try and get together for one Barrowdowns picture at least.
