Garr - at the risk of putting words into IronMike's mouth, we need a few beds for me, Mike, and a couple/few of Mike's mates who are planning on driving over together. One or more rooms would be fine, just a bunk each to fall into
Kanga - I have agreed to take over Jellybabe's four-bed room (not on the list though). I think Armadillo may be in the dorm now so that means three beds spare if you want them.
Cheers Ally - will check with Mike and let you know. Best if we call kip at the same place if we're driving over, but not sure how many others need bunks too
Without reading all the way back can someone post the selection of hotels/hostels where the pirates are staying, we want to book our accomodation and I can't remember what the majority decided way back, ta.
'cuse me. I have never heard Mr B snoring!!!! I have however heard chuckles snoring. Ha Ha, you guys aren't gonna sleep at all!
I think I'm in the intercontinental. All the club class rooms are gone but there may be some business suites (or whatever they call the rip-off rooms) left.
I can hear the b***er from here so i am sure the irish sea would not be soundproof enough
So NOW you tell me Chuckles snores as well, that makes three of us, I think we had better sleep on the beacj if we arent going to keep the whole hostel awake
ally BB are you the Ally thats been emailing me? I kinda gave up my room to Ally but have been chatting to her this week me dave and katie are thinking of coming out to support now, Ally said she would share with us as she had no takers for the other 3 beds. if people are desperate for beds then we are happy to give up our room as agreed, but if no one wants it, us lot and Ally can share. just need to know whats happening before we book flights then find ourselves bedless! if you can let me know this week, Kanga and Mike that would be great, as we will probably book flights this week as they are cheap
I've also got a hotel room booked that I don't need but haven't cancelled yet. I think it's something like 315 euros for 5 nights - so pretty reasonable for a double room. If anyone is interested let me know.
cheers ally and debbo seriously thinking about coming over. we have both got over the initial sulks of pulling out, but it really is the right descision, barely have enough time for basic training let alone ironman training! Dave is back running a bit now which is good and as he rightly said the other day, if we dont come out we will spend all day with our noses on the computer screen on ironman live checking out the action. so if mike and kanga have debbos room then we can book our flights, kanga - will wait til you sort stuff out with mike and debs then we can chill out on the day and enjoy the action from the other side of the fence!
I'm gona try to e-mail peeps about the YH on Thursday. Last time on e-mail before I go to Bristol (Plum, you were so nearly right, just today and Thursday left).
Monique, I believe the YH is fully booked unless you can find someone with a booking they are no longer going to be using.
just checking to see if everyone who was originally planning to stay in the YH still is, as I might have an unanticipated sherpa (if I can find somewhere to put her...)? If you've changed your mind or anything, could you let me know? Ta.
Just stumbled accross this thread again-i never got round to sorting out any accomodation with Kanga. Kanga, if you are reading this, it looks like the van we were getting has fallen through too, so its going to be every man for himself in terms of getting out there. I don't suppose that nearly three months later any of the advertised spare rooms are still going are they? I really should get round to booking somewhere-i am so disorganised.
plum, as far as I know you do too! Not sure Chuckles has told his lovely mrs that she is sharing but that's between them and you guys and I'm staying out of it!
Hi folks. I have a computer now, but I'm not on the internet yet (just passing an internet cafe so thought I'd pop in). I should be back online next week, then I'll be on everyday until the YH is finalised and paid for.
If anyone's going to the social tomorrow, I'll see you there.
Right, when I get back to Bristol, I should (if Tiscali are true to their word) be connected. I'm going to see what I can do in Essex between now and Wednesday, so those of you with YH bookings in the 10-bed dorms, keep a check on here and your e-mail inboxes.

Unless you fancy a bed in a dorm with 9 people we don't know.
If either appeal, let me know.
I know Jo has opted for a hotel but then she has heard Barley snoring!
Might be worth checking with Garr, if you havent got his number drop me a mail as I dont think he can acess e=mail at the moment

It might be nice to get the accomodation list updated as well just so everyone knows who is where and to find any spare room at the Inn
As far as i am aware I still have a full 4 bed room with Barley Chuckle and Ms Chuckle
If anyone's going to the social tomorrow, I'll see you there.
............... but then my little thingy says strange things
