@Giles:

Which means I am likely to do something about it, otherwise G would leave it till May ::).

Will keep you posted!

[Geo]

Lol - I should have guessed!

Thanks Mrs G

[Beatle]

So seriously - who of you nuts is going to make it ? Checking into flights - as soon as P has date confirmed I will have to buy a ticket. There's no excuse not to, gotta finally see The Works headquarter

[Geo]

looks pretty good - passed this on to my travel team . . . with any luck we'll have some kind of deal with them

getting excited now

[Giles]

We have tried multiple times to get a group deal - on any kind of deal for that matter.  Epic fail every time…........Even when I have had Ayumi wade in on our behalf...........

[Geo]

yip - just been told

we have in-place discounts with dozens of hotel chains . . . this one isn't a chain

[Giles]

Mmmmmmm, more like a link….

[hectic]

Shit, I just looked at flight prices, they are not overly insane….

[Giles]

I think we normally reckon on about GBP500….

[hectic]

I've never been to Japan….

[Madame Buttonfly]

@hectic:

I've never been to Japan….

About time that changed…!
