northumberland?! humbug! i live in the oh-so-exciting midlands, surrounded by motorways. on the plus side, it means you have no idea where i live, so th 'party at robnarks' announcement is really useful

@CE:thin ice, very thin ice...

Which one. "Excellent points", "Good advice" or "Clearing up"?

None of alternatives - partying, of course

@Kameleon: A long period of partying and travelling - can't spend your time better!

well I did some other things too such as reading through the literature history from Gilgamesh to post-modern poetry

@Robnark: Ooo, one of my friends' father was a artist, she used to lock the paintings down in the cellar. Her parents also collected antique furniture, the heavy items that couldn't be move, was simply covered with cloth. but it hasn't broken yet, has it...

@kam: a hint eh? how's your general knowledge? cos a few miles up the road is the village that is the furthest place from the sea in any direction in britain. and the nearby town contains the word 'north'

oh, and it's not wolverhampton, thank god

Very good, thanks

*searches for road map, in vain* Bah. *resorts to general knowledge* err...northampton? The midlands is a large area, you know, and I thought I lived about as far from the sea as it's possible to get...

Curious, because I thought it was Nottingham... but I could be delusional

@CE I wasn't even going to mention that...

Must be Northhampton, now, it takes me 30 mins to the airport and 2h to London, how long time is Northampton from London by train? 2-2.5h?

@Georgi: Maybe I am even meaner than you after all...

Harpole??

How ironic a SYM party might be held in the village of Nobottle??

If a train from London sets off at 1:30 and arrives at 7:30 at Glasgow, and another train leaves Glasgow at 12:00 and is set to arrive in London at 5:15, travelling on the same track, when do the trains collide due to a signal-box operator falling asleep? And how many leaves are there on the line? *explodes*

village name

two words. and for the first one...

my first is in nunquam, but not in cat
my second is in ether, but not inmadrigal
my third is in temperature, but not in frog
my fourth is in watch, but not in psuedocarp
my fith is in equine, but not in ditch
and my sixth is in mangrove, but not in jam.

any guesses

IIRC GNER will get you station to station in about an hour

You will have to take the all stations, since the fast trains hits Stevenage then Doncaster - missing out Northampton...I could be wrong, it has been many years, but I could do London to Doncaster in 2 hours...

Well let's see, I would have to drive up the M3, round the M25 and up the M1... which airport, @CE? I can pick you up on the way

I never doubted that...

@Robnark sorry, I only have a mini-road atlas, the only places marked in that area are Harpole, Bugbrooke and Weedon Bec

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Fri Jun 14, 2002 5:09 pm

@ysh: nobottle has been merged with harpole for a long time now, and is pretty much a suburb, kinda thing. and no, not them - but close
