Well the odds are still in your favour, put on the "I really want to go" argument and they'll cave in.

Hoping so, hoping so. Nothing to lose by continuing to try.

Can't you use the Puppy Dog face. :P

Somehow the puppy dog face doesn't seem to work as well when you're talking about $3000. :P

Hmm, what about gradual manipulation? Like Palpitine on Star Wars, I apoligise for bringing that into here, but i needed some way to explain it. :)

I don't get it. :P

Basically hatch a master plan.

Figured as much.

And if that does not work, have a backup plan

Duly noted.

Any progress?

Yes, how is it going?

Better and better. Looks like somehow, some way, I will go.

Sneak into England in a suitcase :D

Hopefully it won't come to that, but if necessary. :D

lol, when in Rome. :P

Excellent! Danny, you are a star! :)

Wait! I just thought, you are coming to bath! Thats only 20 minutes away form Yate., and you have the day off it seems the next day, Danny, if you find out the part of bath you arrive in, I would possibly be able to get down and spend the day with your group, and you would possibly be able to spend the night at my house, spend the day at mine, and my neighbour could run you back the same day in the afternoon. Danny, do you think you could get details fo the bath part, and get permission to stay at mine for a day, as long as you know they way back to the hotel. Then we have the best chance to meet up. :) This is because you only seem to get 2 days to yourself, and they are not together, so bath would be the best chance to see each other, so we have 2 days to hang about.

You know the train is a wonderful thing... :P . It'd get you back to London more easily once you're finished visiting with Chris. Why dont you guys have a party? lol

lol, it would be fun, it's no problem getting to Bath and back for me, i take the bus, my only worry is getting a train for Danny, back to London, and to the right place. Danny, what area of London is this Hotel in? The worst that can happen is that i spend the day in Bath with you. the best case is that you are allowed to come home with me, but we have to find a train for you. And i am not having any luck, becuase my neightbours will be at work. Im not sure how i could get you home. As i have never used trains, i am worried.

Hey Danny, I hope you have a great time over in england. Have fun :)

Dont worry Chris, just look up the website for whoever does the local train services in your area, then see if there's a train from Yate to London (id doubt there would be but you never know), if not then see if there's one to Bristol from Yate where Danny will almost certainly be able to get a train to London.

Well, if the Bath idea works we will only need one. Ross, are you any good with trains?

What specifically to do with them?

actually, it is ok, i am dealing with it now. :)

Did you speak to your teachers about coming to Yate. :)

I did, and they tell me it's okay for you to come down to London and spend time with me, but they don't want me leaving the group I'm afraid. What's your schedule looking like during the week?

Chris so all you need to do is get the train to the nearest big station, and then to London. That's normally how it works.

That sounds alright to me. Will that work, Chris?

Don't mean to sound rude but wouldnt this discussion be better suited to the Danny is Going to london thread?

What are you talking about? It is in the "Danny is going to London" thread! :P

Sorry, my mistake, ive not been myself lately, im all scatty, sorry. this is very embarassing

Ronn dont worry you're not going mad, Danny just moved the posts involving London from your TV thread to this thread :P .

Oh did he? Oh thats ok then *Wipes sweat off forehead* phew

LOL. Sorry about that Ronn. I'm glad Ross told you, hehehe. ;)

Actually Danny, my parents would not let me go to London, i could still come to Bath though :) My parents are worried about me going on a train, im not sure why, i have not really done it before, but i can come to Bath.

Okay, so then we'll spend the day together then at least. Sounds good to me!

yes, at least we have Bath :P :)

Danny I see you've left, you never left any contact details for Chris.

what he's gone to london now?
