Nah, drive to Hammersmith, park in the King's Mall car park all day for under £4 and catch the tube from Hammersmith Tube across the road. I'll be doing that today, thankfully for only the second time in 6 months.

On or around Thu, 9 Feb 2006 08:40:47 +0000, Ian Rawlings enlightened us thusly:

does that get you into the congestion zone?

No - western edge of the C is Park Lane (currently).

Surely not? It barely gets you to London.

...and Austin Shackles spake unto the tribes of Usenet, saying...

No, they're Czech, mate.

That was the best Episode of "The Prisoner" IMO - even though they changed the title before broadcast, to Checkmate.

The lengths Patrick McGoohan went to whilst writing bits of sillycode into it were incredible. 't reminds me, must try to catch up with old Six-of-One comrades at some point, now we have the titnernet an all...

Martyn,

We are planning an en-masse visit this summer....shall I keep you informed?

You better had - I still have my badge an everything... Didn't think anyone your age would even recognise the connection - there is hope!

Who is "we"

(S'cuse pun) :-)

Be seeing you...

"we" is mud-club. Still in the planning stage, but it will involve numbered t-shirts ;-)

Old enough.....? I'll take that as a compliment :-)

Who is Number 1?

No, King's Mall is about 4 miles outside the congestion zone, and Hammersmith Tube is about 3 mins walk down the road. I was there today, parking costs are up now, but still cheap by London standards, £2 for about 3 hours or so.

For the record, "A, B and C" is the best episode ;-)

Well I am of that glorios generation that saw it the first time round, who never thought we would live to see 1984 or 2001.

Well Patrick McGoohan has a lot to anser for, I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered, my life is my own ...

..... or is it ?

we're doomed I tell you, doomed ...

On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 00:16:42 -0000, "Larry" scribbled the following nonsense:

Take bits from each concept, and we aint that far off what some of them were dreaming about all those years ago....

Erm, yeah, like... erm... yeah...

Why did he resign?

Sad to admit, but when I got this new phone, the one that Nige will no doubt end up buying in the fullness of time, I found I could put mp3 files on for the ringtone - better, add different ringtones for different callers...

The office, when calling me, plays the theme from The Prisoner. Most 101 / landie type peeps plays the theme from H2G2 Charlotte get REMs It's the end of the world as we know it...

What, you mean mix The Prisoner with Dads Army? May not be wrong there. Don't Panic (oh, that was H2G2... too...)

Mine plays the muppet show when the office calls....

Mine used to have the attention tone used before all loud-hailer announcements for the ringtone, and No. 6's phone ring sound for SMS messages. One particularly spoddy girl I used to work with recognised the SMS tone from across the office! She got sacked in the end for spending too much time playing Nethack.

I think we've got a fair old bit of the Goon Show in there too, muy good myanne.

Shut up eccles!
