Sorry Phil but it's unlikely I'll make this one. I'm on a 0500 start the next day so my bed normally welcomes me about 8pm, just the time these things normally get going.
However, if there's a pre-DO Do, do let me know!

I have not given up on trying (daily) to escape to HKG for New Year on miles/a decent fare but unless I get lucky I think I will be stuck in the UK after all...in which case, beer is the only answer. I'm a possible...cheers PhilH ^

Having looked at trains and planes between Manchester and London, the flights are gonna set me back £150+ and the trains between Christmas and New Year require 2-3 changes resulting in a 5 hour journey 
.
Subsequently I'm going to have to withdraw from this one unfortunately.
Still, looking on the bright side, it pays for another trip to Siberia

I now know that I will be "working" that week before heading off to GRU on Sunday 30th. So if the event is in the City I would love to come along. All the better if it starts with a boozy lunch somewhere!

OK, I've looked at National Express and they want a tenner. Its 4hrs 30mins the journey. I'm just having flash backs of bursting into laughter at the look on some of the passengers faces after they'd come out of the on board toilets. Two words....stale p!ss!
Perhaps you should upgrade me too a maybe for the time being
