I am probably hiring the Corfe Castle village mini-bus to come to the Day, so that I can transport the Malory Towers storyboard to Twyford.
If anyone would like to visit Dorset afterwards there will be plenty of room to cadge a lift, and I can drop you off at a B&B or campsite. I have made Sunday my day off so can take people round if they want.
Roll up, and that's an invitation, roll up for the

And I thought Nigel made it up! I'm pretty sure Matt will be fuming at me now for not recognizing a Beatles song...
Sorry, I've never heard any of their songs, and know absolutely
nothing about them, but I was thrilled all the same to photograph their 'statues' at Madame Tussuads.

I'll bring a Beatles CD on the day so that you can have a listen.
Predicting you'll love em!

Okay, Jools, I'll listen to them! After the day, though, as I don't want to interrupt anyone!
BTW, we will be needing a CD player, won't we?

I was pretty annoyed myself!

NEVER? NEVER heard any of their songs? How is that even possible? Nige, I think we need to educate this one.
Oh my, I think I need to lie down. My smelling salts, someone!

Matt, I am as shocked as you are!
Ming, got to
http://www.thebeatles.com/ and learn!
When you're in London, go to Baker Street and visit the Beatles' Shop (and of course, the Sherlock Holmes museum).

Sorry! Matt, please don't faint, Nigel, please don't be shocked, I've seen the site, hunted down some of their songs on YouTube and liked them too!
Oh, I already have been to both, but wouldn't mind going a second time.

Yes, do, Ming. I am sure you must know some of their songs, even if you don't know that you know. If that makes sense. Oh dear, I fear I am dreadfully off topic. Perhaps we should open a Beatles thread, Nigel?
Anyway, Tony, thanks for the Day tickets/programmes which arrived safely this morning!

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Dear me, didn't notice we were off topic!
I agree with someone starting a Beatles thread!

Great idea Matt! Ming, I didn't realise you had been to the UK before.

I had been before, in 2004. That's another reason why my parents are allowing me to come, because I had been there before, and know some of it.
