  1. Can anyone recommend a nice reasonably priced place to eat in the middle of Chester, near the cathedral?
  2. @chrislunch Currently sat in a crypty part of Chester Cathedral practising Howells' Gloria. Choir spilt over nave, I'm only bass on my side
  3. Heading to Chester to sing in the cathedral all weekend, picnicking on the train. Have a good weekend, everyone :-)
  4. Missing Over The Air this year as I have to head to Chester for the weekend. Hope it's as fun as last year's, looks like lots of good talks.
  5. @xtophercook So annoying - especially because if you use browser privacy mode, you get them all again. Could have been done so much better.
  6. @dotcode BE! We both get free money if you go with BE!
  7. @SusieRids Also dunno yet :-) Middle seems most likely, have a wedding on 4th, and Russian Dream at RSC on 10th.
  8. @SusieRids Ooh, when are you going?
  9. @robinhouston I'm more of a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_(… sort of person, but I think I grasp the concept.
  10. @robinhouston Much like Dick Dastardly compared with Peter Perfect. Or poor Wile E Coyote against the annoying Road Runner.
  11. @alicebartlett Warm Cheese…
  12. @Natbat Boo to the seagulls, I've never forgiven them for stealing my ice cream. Pure evil.
  13. Not often you get to lean out of an open window as the train pulls in nowadays. Pushed by a DB engine too, strange.
  14. @mildlydiverting Bunny, bunny, hugs, bunny.
  15. @LondonMidland Thanks, will do.
  16. Well, at least you can see the train pulling away from platform 4 at Moor Street from across the way and can stop running.
  17. @MusicBrainz Yay, thanks :-)
  18. @LondonMidland 7.33 from Moor Street. Currently at Five Ways, so I guess I'll have c. 3 minutes rather than 20 to get from New to Moor...
  19. It's odd, as generally it's only early in the morning @LondonMidland fails me, you'd think it'd be the opposite. Trains want a lie-in?
  20. 6.59 @LondonMidland cancelled, 7.09 currently 6 minutes late, will I make my London connection? Could have had 45 minutes more in bed if not
