Where are you going tonight?

[General Mannerheim]

I WANT A TRIO AND I WANT ONE NOW...

[Prufrock]

Ha. Trying hard not to veer into Peter Kay territory, what ever happened to them?!

[LeverEnd]

I was a massive Trio fan when I was younger. Their early stuff is really good, then they went awful and Emo-y, and then apparently their last couple have been good, but I haven't heard any.

Well that was a big disappointment. Couple of decent early songs and the encore was good but hour and a bit in the middle was dire at times. Felt like I'd heard the same mediocre song 10 times in a row. Plus the sound was poor.

Paris. On the eurostar now waiting for it to leave London. Later chaps and chapesses

[General Mannerheim]

ive been dying to go on the Eurostar. keep threatening to just jump on one one afternoon, few beers, wander round Paris, have some tea then come back on a late one...

[Beefheart]

You should, only a couple of hours from kings cross and I think you can get cheap tickets depending on what time you travel and if you book in advance (I got one cheap coming back from Paris last year for about 35 quid,and then crashed at a mates place in London. That was only a few weeks in advance too).

[General Mannerheim]

how far are you from the action when the Eurostar pulls up? is it another train ride into the centre?

[Prufrock]

Yeah, there's f*ck all at Gare du Nord, but you're only about 5-10 min on the Metro/RER depending where you want to go. Saint Michel, which is by the Seine, near Notre Dame, and has a load of pedestrian cobbled streets and markets and bars is two stops on the RER. Arc de Triomphe about 10 mins, Eiffel Tower about 10. Louvre a bit less.

hmmm. the mrs is coming to London next week to see Les Mis... wouldnt it be a lovely surprise if the morning after we went on a impromptu day out to Paris!

That's going to cost about £250 for the return fair. Enjoy

[General Mannerheim]

£328 gulp - reckon it'd be pretty sweet tho!

[Prufrock]

Wasn't most of it filmed in Greenwich?

That'd be a lot cheaper .

[Beefheart]

You'll always have Paris.

[General Mannerheim]

You'll always have Paris.

[Prufrock]

Girls love that shit. Yours is basically a classier version of what I got her for Xmas.

Wrapped up a DVD of Les Mis in fancy paper and made out she'd love the present, and hid the tickets for a weekend in Paris inside. Was concerned she'd chuck it away in fury before opening it, mind.

I thought it was romantic and funny. She said I was a cock.

£328 just for the trains?! Or hotel as well? If you book early enough you can get a return for £66 each I think.

... Sounds like she knows you better than you know her Pru.

[General Mannerheim]

just the train. she is coming down on wednesday. we were gonna see the show that night, id work on thursday then we'd go home together Thursday night. Thursday trains already booked so have to be back for that. that price was for a 9am out of st Pancras returning at about half six. bit extravagent innit. days wages lost too... then again, so what? gonna check it out again at dinner time.

[General Mannerheim]

what a gorp. ive only just twigged the Paris/Les Mis connection! it was just a selfish excuse to go on the eurostar! now it seems all symbolic nthat.

Ha, no arguments there!
