Not sure what days I'll be there, but I'll be there probably saturday

By the way, all of you who are going to the IFC via train, a new system has taken over all transport inside of Birmingham, that basically means Buses, trains and the new monorail (don't worry, that has nothing to do with you guys) and this new company are more reliable than the old one, so the timetable is better, and is more reliable, so don't worry about whether trains will be late, it's buses that are the problem, as always!:@



Also, Christian, I don't know whether the link you found to the train timetable is correct. Here is the new companies web page, so you can all have a look at it, in case your timetable you found is incorrect, or whether anybodies daring enough to take the bus!;D

Hotel update - for anyone that, like me, needs no more than a bed and a shower on Saturday, the Accor Etap at Birmingham International still had rooms when I confirmed my booking (I checked...) and only £35 a night :)

Guy at work who's from that way assures me it's a 20 minute walk from the NEC to International.

And travel info for those going via central London, same guy says Chiltern Trains from Marylebone is bucketloads cheaper than Virgin and takes much the same time.

NEC and International are connected thank god, so you won't need to walk down any streets or anything, it's all indoors, I'm just saying that in case anybody doesn't know that, so don't go outdoors once you're in the station.

Euroharmony got stand number 29 so we are just about the only VA facing Microsofts stand at the IFC.

Take some of Razza, I don't know why but I have this misconception of Razza being a bit of a midget. :]
