funny girls is ok for the first 20 mins but after that the novelty wears off then you realise you just paid £3 for a pint on buffalo pee water that has a strange frotthyness you could liken to fairy washing up
liquid. also dont chat any girls up in there, you may get a big suprise

Wherever you go just enjoy it, and don't get arrested ( unless it is by a hen party dressed up as police women )

Well i'm back now.

8 hours to get there! terrible traffic from M5 spagetti until manchester

Truely horrendouse weather all saturday - had to keep my eyes shut on the pepsi max as the rain hurt so much.  The stag was ill all day long and went to bed at 9 pm :o

Went to the most frightening karaoke bar, then the beer kellier, then yates then rumours.

Bad northbound smash on way back -roof cut off a car and loads of emergency services :(

Knowing what I do about that awful journey up from Bristol, would it now be worthwhile to use the M42 East and link up to the M6 (Toll), paying the £4.50??  :-/ :-/ :-/  

I know you do go out of your way, but overall perhaps it would be quicker and far less straining on your health by eventually bypassing Birmingham and zooming up the M6 (Toll)!! 8-) 8-)

Blimey, thinking about it, 8 hours is a hell of a long time, which even beats my worst timing for that route by miles.  I could get to Whitby  Bay in the North East from Bristol in 3.5 hours on a good run, and the worst even from there was 7 hours! :o :o :o
