London bike shows

ogden says...

I'm doing both, in a professional capacity.

 

Friday if Bonners is going, Thursday if not, maybe.

Let the cat-herding commence.

 

You got a new job then?

 

Selling tickets in the booth? Can you get cheapies?

 

Glaarp says...

Nope, just helping out a friend if all goes well.

 

Bear says...

If Graham needs me, but he can't promise as he has to offer his regular
helpers the chance to work there before me, obviously. Fair's fair, I
haven't helped him at a show since I joined the last firm 2 1/2 years
ago.

I've never been to Excel so I can't say.

The Ally Pally show is only 3 days, not the 10 days that it used to be,
so I'm not sure how it will be. Superbike Magazine are trying to take it
back to a 'superbike and road racing show' and have tried very hard to
get the right kind of traders there with that in mind. Lets hope they
get it right.

 

I shall mention it when he phones later on.

someone else can do that.

I took the Gixer to Ally Pally last year, fucking freezing it was and
IIRC it snowed on the way home. Last time I took a car as a paying
punter I had to park about a mile away down the bottom of the hill, damn
near fucking killed me getting up there and I spent an hour recovering
in the bar before seeing anything.

 

ExCel Friday 2nd works for me. Prolly leave the office round lunchtime and
pop on the DLR.

 

Agree on the public transport. But at least the parking's free and i've
never had a problem parking there. Compared to the ExCel parking where
you'll pay more than the entry fee to park for 3-5 hrs.

 

Works for me. I'll book it off tomorrow.

 

Bear says...

It was bloody lovely when I set out from home. If I'd have known it was
going to snow I'd have taken the car.

The sky is half full, and all that.

 

I mentioned it to himself and he's going to think about it.

sounds good.

Wait...there is a bar at ExCel, isn't there?

 

What? It's piss easy - get the train from Liverpool St. to White Hart
Lane and then it's about 15-20 minutes on the W3 to right outside Ally
Pally.

 

Or the train from Moorgate to Alexandra Palace. But that'd be crazy.

 

Well, of course. And then the W3 up the hill to save the stupidly
steep walk.

 

None of which is relevant because WE'RE ALL GOING TO DOCKLANDS (just to
annoy Andy)

 

heh - I've worked out that it's actually fairly straightforward to get
to ExCel from here by tube/DLR.

 

I'll probably go on Suday.
