Looks like Turd has saved the day as between him being able to take 3 back and Gortex doing the early trip we should have it covered.

I agree with mirianna, those helping with transport ARE awesome.

By the way things are still cramped on the Sunday so if you CAN help with a London airport rub on Sunday PLEASE let us know.

I should firm up plans of [train/car] by early next week, and if it's car then Stansted and (kings cross ish)London are on my way :flirty:

...I have not found Pen's level of deals yet :g:

London effect I guess :rolleyes: Europcar kings cross is ~73 for same window, and Avis Euston is ...somewhat more. Both those are trickier pickups

Enterprise near my work (11-15th) is today quoting 76 for an "aygo or similar". That is down from about 130 a week ago, and down from 90 yesterday! I am playing chicken until Monday latest to see if it drops a third time :flirty: and why I've not confirmed yet:rolleyes:

Car booked!

Sunday: driving from March to London[N1] and will happily do a Stansted dropoff (and/or a London[N1] dropoff)

Thursday: driving from Hatfield sometime in the afternoon, but don't think that's of much use wrt lifts?

NB price dropped again since my last post :lol: so I have booked a "Corsa or similar" for a few quid more than the tiny Aygo, and I rent from them a lot so will try for an upgrade :flirty:

Brill Monkey.

We'll put you as a backup for albert / duvel / Rambo - it all depends on car space. Currently Gortex is due to take all 3 to Stansted for around midday, so if there is any chance he will struggle to fit them all in, we will ask you to help out with 1-2 of them. :thumb:

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

youve had some work done smilo...preferred the original dilapidated look


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

Update: I have requested Thu pm off work and am now aiming to be leaving work (Hatfield) by 1pm Thu (might be earlier but depends on hire car pickup etc).

Looking at the first post I could divert to pick up Rambo from Stansted, though that means some more waiting around for him (I would get to Stansted maybe 1330-1400) and probably a slower journey (direct train from Stansted to March takes 1h05m during the week) so your call! :flirty:

I'll message him directly on discord and ask him to reply to you here asap.

Thanks Monkey!

Thanks Monkey, I have booked a train ticket so there is no point picking me up if it takes you out of the way.

suicidal_monkey

As it's a weekday, the train will most likely leave sooner and travel faster than me&car, so as you already have ticket it's an easy decision! :)

If things change (trains on strike :rolleyes: etc) let me know!
