Holiday Inn Express booked, Fri, Sat & Sun.

Had to go for a later train on the Friday, so not leaving until 4:30pm from Euston, gets in around 9pm. Perfect.

Great deal on trains back on the Monday.  I"m on the 10:40am from Glasgow. First Class for only £39.

We"re in the Holiday Inn Fri & Sat, then it"s off to the mother in laws once our play finishes on the Sunday. Hence I"m using my Juan Tyme to go deep on the Sunday (side event or otherwise)!

Going by train 06.50 from Telford, joining the virgin service at Wolves around 07.40, arriving glasgow at 11.15. All for the stupid price of £65 total return for both of us.

So am i the only one who"s lazy and tight by booking the Merchant City Inn, which is the cheapest AND the closest.

40 squids innit despite being listed here at £55. Even if i don"t get into the tourney i"m coming up to go on the lash. Happy days.

Glasgow is a little bit of a massive blur from last year as it was a free bar (thank you betfair!!) so can"t actually remember where we stayed but it had a nice fly stuck to the toilet paper. So don"t stay there... where ever it was  :-\

Last time I travelled virgin first class to London I didn"t notice the difference TBH. I was sat on my own single berth seat, but someone was directly opposite so hardly on my own. The only difference to 2nd class was a scrawny dry butty served by the most miserable woman you could ever imagine who could pour a cup of coffee in one second and be gone before you could say "scuse me you missed the effing cup". Sigh.

Anyway, back to the hotel issue, I went for the Premier Inn. 2 nights for £112. Tripadvisor seemed to suggest it was quite good, and that the one really near the casino (the Merchant Inn) was very noisy.

Flying from Gatwick Saturday morning and back Monday. BA for about £80 return.

I am in the Merchant along with my sister and nephew. If it was noisy before its going to be a whole lot worse when we get back :)
