Re: Who's going to the finals?
Well, I'd say Lesley's first in line for a spare ticket as she's already made arrangements to come and stay with us in the YH on Tues night. But why don't you just come for the Tuesday apres-piste action?Ben Hunter wrote:Any spare tickets or owt? Just realised I wouldn't mind coming after all, but I realise it's pretty late in the day to be asking.

Maybe he watched "Hard Candy" last night, so has got crimping private parts on his mind.Sue Sanders wrote:'Cimping' meaning......?Charlie Reams wrote:I too am cimping.
Or, perhaps he has deliberately missed the "r" meaning he is having the hair crimped on his back and sack, but no r's - hold the crack.
God knows . . . but Google doesn't!

Re: Who's going to the finals?
I've got a ticket for Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Saralee did say they'd had a couple of people drop out so it may be worth an email if you still don't have tickets.
My cup runneth over

Re: Who's going to the finals?
Is there a break between the two recording sessions normally? And is there a place to get food?
CHEEEERS.

Re: Who's going to the finals?
Which hotel do the contestants stay in when they're recording? Someone please tell me its better than the holiday inn Leeds?! and where in Manchester are the new studios?
Probably the second tallest ever series finalist.

Re: Who's going to the finals?
The studios are the Granada Studios on Quay Street. I'm not sure about the hotel, but I know the staff are based at the very swanky Midland Hotel just up the road from the studio. I only know because Damian told me this after a recording in June, just outside the hotel.Tom wrote:Which hotel do the contestants stay in when they're recording?

Re: Who's going to the finals?
Well, after talking with Derek (who's heard of three people dropping out), I've left Saralee a message (too late to get a reply) and will make my way up in the morning, on the off-chance there's a spare seat. If not, it's a day out, and I can say hello to a few of you guys. I'll just loiter outside for a bit.

If you do decide to travel up, ticket or no ticket, I'll be on the 11.42 from Sheffield arriving in Manchester Picadilly at 12.36.

Re: Who's going to the finals?
There's only TTTs in there between 9pm and 3am. There are people in the room so they've either been cropped or no-one entered or left, spoke, attempted a TTT, miskeyed, anything. I'm not Sherlock Holmes but I'm going with the former.Marc Meakin wrote:You might need to check the chatlogs on apterous from 6pm to get the gist of it.
Read the bit 6 - 8pm. Jason, can I recommend decaff?
EDIT: Don't really want to start up the whole thing again. Everyone remember it's a public forum, and stay away from stimulants
BTW, I had an AMAZING time at the finals! Lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it!
