Regina Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 :love:It amuses me greatly that Fenryng and John are still having their identities switched after all these years! As that's what led to John and Filippa becoming our original Convention Spouses, I also find it more than a little endearing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaldanya Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 We'll probably be there for the one day (Saturday, maybe), if there are still memberships available when we've sorted out everything else. If not then so be it... N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Here http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/dlr-route-map.pdf is the DLR station map, which is, like all such transport maps, not geographically accurate in terms of distances between stations and direction of lines. It does however show the Tube stations that have connections to the DLR, if like me you are not a frequent user of it. I can managed the Tube fine from memory, but the DLR is an unknown for me as well. This is posted so as to be of help for anyone who is staying further afield in London, or just travelling to ExCel during WorldCon. From ExCel's own website - "The Jubilee Line is recommended as the quickest route to ExCeL London and the ICC. Alight at Canning Town and change onto a Beckton-bound DLR train, for the quick 2-stop journey to Custom House for ExCeL (West) or Prince Regent for ExCeL (East) and ICC London" Since WorldCon is at the eastern end of ExCel, it looks like Prince Regent is the DLR stop for us. I note that the next stop on the DLR after Prince Regent is Royal Albert. Looks like a conscious decision must have been made to NOT have a station called "Prince Albert".

Arataniello Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Obviously, I am extremely bored at work, otherwise I would not have bothered to post information that any person with average intelligence can find out for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss Sunshine Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Arataniello I can give you "Formations of European Modernity" by Gerard Delanty to read but that would make you actually die of boredom (as I currently am). Posting useful LonCon info is better than this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing you! And I'm a hugger... :grouphug: Some people might remember when I hugged everyone at the BwB party when I had a little lot of drinks at Eastercon 2012. At least I asked before hugging anyone. ;) I'll let you in on a big secret I've never hugged anyone ever and have a paranoid fear of making bodily contact Yeah, right! You're the un-huggiest person in the world! :P When you play the Game of Cons, you hug or you die. :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFT I'm so excited to see everyone. \m/ Right now my biggest decision is whether or not to fly in and out of Dublin so I can make it to both cons...
