I'll adopt La Cattedrale di Trani, we could swap at the AGM unless atreic commutes through Euston in which case pick-up could be arranged sooner.

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

Are any of the fiction books things that are very good and/or that you would recommend to me? If so I might ask for one of them. :-)

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Much as I want to support the great book give-away, these are books that neither I nor Matthew wanted, rather than books we have doubles of and need to rationalise... you can draw your own conclusions about their quality...

[aldabra]

The time machine one is a rationalisation of theology given science? If you're able to drop it off in Cambridge at some stage I'll give it a home.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

I often fly through Cambridge; if we can impose on Arnhem again it becomes even easier.

[BTW, I have memories of going round Cambridge trying to lend you(?) the Trigger book, M thinks I am hallucinating this entire thing. You don't remember anything that would shed light on this, do you?]

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Although it doesn't seem to be about theology at all - it's pop science about building wormhole time machines.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

I do indeed go through Euston - what would I need to do with the book?

[aldabra]

Oh. My LJ archive agrees with you. I must have wanted to read it, although I can't remember why. OK, yes, I'll have that 8-)

And not the time-travel one, if it's wormholes. Wormholes don't do it for me.

Thanks!

Depending on our respective commuting times I figured we could make a rendez-vous off our trains one morning. If the times don't work it's just possible I could persuade the AMT coffee lounge to be a drop-off point as I've been faithfully buying my morning cappuccino there for a year! I usually arrive at Euston around 8:46 but could make that later or (with the grumbles of all night-owls confronted with early rising) earlier.

[ewx.livejournal.com]

That'd be The Flying Sorcerers, in fact, presumably?

[muuranker.livejournal.com]

"La Cattedrale di Trani attraverso i restauri" by Rita Gigante, please.

[emperor]

Err, yes. I blame the poor choice of font on the front cover!

[emperor]

Sorry, pellegrina got there first.

[emperor]

OK, Trigger is yours. I assume atreic will get it to you via arnhem...

[fiona-kitty.livejournal.com]

Hello!
This probably sounds a bit presumptuous, but if you have any material kicking around from your Part II Pathology virology option / virology textbooks, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands... :)

[megamole.livejournal.com]

Do the Blood Bowl things come with a game of Blood Bowl?

If so, am interested; would be useful for parties.

[emperor]

I'm not sure where my Blood Bowl is - it may be chez my parents, or it may have vanished...

So currently, no, although if you took them I could give you first refusal on BB as and when it surfaces...

[emperor]

I've located the game (and a set of metal figures), as well as the books (all are currently in Surrey with my parents). Do you want them?

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Oops, forgot to sort this out! I also arrive at Euston at 8.45ish. I will be passing through either tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday. Which of these suits you best, and where should we meet?

[pellegrina.livejournal.com]

Either would do, as long as we have a way of alerting each other to missed or cancelled trains. I suggest meeting at the AMT coffee lounge at the head of the higher numbered platforms on the west end of the station, as I usually arrive at platform 17 and am on complete autopilot until the nice Polish girl there puts cappuccino into my groggy hand.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Aha, a Plan!

Let's go with tomorrow morning (Wednesday) then, because then if it goes wrong we have one more day to fix things.

My mobile number is in my contacts post here. I'll have it on me. (Likewise if you want to email me yours, my email address is in the same post)

I will confess that I have a rubbish memory for faces, so you might want to wave at me or something. I have a blue brompton, which is fairly distinctive even for Euston.

[pellegrina.livejournal.com]

emperor should have my mobile number in the TS panic sheet. I have a rubbish memory for faces too, and additionally no idea of what a blue brompton is... (coat? bike? hat?), but I will be wearing an olive green parka, a sleepy expression and vaguely resemble the usericon, and I'll try to remember to wear my red beret.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

Bike :-)

Hopefully see you tomorrow! I am on the train that was the 7.38 from Coventry (from Wolverhampton originally, I think)

[megamole.livejournal.com]

Yes please :)
