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.
