BKP meet - London 14th March - confirmed!

[Johnny Mac]

Starting to get cold sweats (and not the good ones) about driving into central London...

I HATE driving in London...

You should see the thing I have to drive, 400 bhp Cat Diesel Foden 8 Wheeler Rolonof. 15 feet high with 12 gears.
Mind you it has good speakers and they came out of an skip that emptied in the yard! Transmit on 107.7 fm to the radio from the ipod and all that big stuff doesn't matter anymore.  :) Choose from 10,000 tunes.

Don't let it get to you.

+1 I am thinking of the train

Old Street Tube isn't far.

[Oli]

Yea, the tube station is only a few mins walk, i'll be doing it with my Charvel on my back, and my Laney cradled in my arms :) The advantage of not driving, is that one can have a bevvy or two as well!

and indeed there is a pub right by the rehersal studio

[Johnny Mac]

Sounds good!

I'm going to probably have to talk my bro into coming so he can help me get my Koch in and out the boot of my car. He loves a drink so that will keep him happy!

gwEm, what's the size of the room in feet and inches?

If you need any additional hand relief I'm willing to get wrist deep to dig out some of the junk in your trunk and give your Koch a good old tug.

Yes lads...

Warn your sisters...

Hide your pets...

Are you drunk?

Look at the tube map!  :lol:

[Will]

Same tube line! Typo ;)
When I think about London, I get confused

 Well i get confused myself sometimes.  So where was nice street?  :lol:

The maps are saying no weekend service to old street.

[Will]

Denmark street is nr Ttnhm Crt Rd?

Any recommendations to walk to this place then? I'm guessing from Angel would be the best place to get off

Yes Denmark Street is next to TCR Tube.

Well it's swings and roundabouts as to which is the nearest alternative. Angel is a bit of a hike down City Road. Barbican is more as the crow flys, if you take an A-Z and follow the back streets from Aldersgate Street out to Old Street Roundabout.

From that map, it's the Old Street train station that is closed for the weekend, not the tube :)

I think that's right, there's nothing in the "planned closures" info on Transport for London saying Old Street tube is closed.
