That's not that strange is it, charging for extra's? I bet you mean they charge 16 £ for the 1st one, i noticed that too.
Thought screw them, and ended up booking with vlm from Rotterdam.
edit: added 'charging for extra's'

Yes, now that we finally have a law that prevents airline carriers from advertising prices that exclude taxes and surcharges, now they screw us by charging for luggage. You only notice that until just before completing your booking.

It's worse than that:
Quote:
Each travelling fare paying passenger is permitted up to a total of 18kg of checked baggage weight. However there is a cost for each individual bag per flight. When pre-booked online this is 5GBP/ 8EUR/ 12CHF/ 250CZK/ 60NOK/ 30PLN. (10GBP/ 15EUR/ 23CHF/ 500CZK/ 120NOK/ 60PLN at the airport).
If the combined total weight of all bags is more than 18kg you will incur an excess baggage charge at the airport, in addition to the individual bag charge. No single bag can weigh more than 25kg.

I'll be arriving 20:20 at Manchester Picadilly, and I'm staying at the Ibis. Does it make sense to check in first and then head to Akbar's, or to come for curry first, and then check in? Or am I going to miss everything, and should catch up with you guys later?
We can make it a late meal, we could all go for some drinks and then meet at Akbar's a little later, this would give you chance to drop off your bags etc...
How does everyone feel about eating late?
Cheers

I've got no problem eating late, thanks for accommodating. I am planning to arrive in Manchester by train at 6:20pm. Or, I could roll in at 7:36pm.
If Akbar's is at 8pm, then I'm assuming people will get a drink in the Ibis lobby for an hour before then. I also assume none of the visitors will know how to get there.

Not nearly as excited as drinking early!
Although I appreciate that you are happy to meet people, it would be an idea to have a location map for the three(3?) locations, so that any stragglers can catch up.
After all, I'm the man who had to be helped on to the train at Piccadilly, with the guard being told to make sure that he woke me up at Leeds, after a particularly boozy do at the Midland Hotel.
Second thoughts, can I have an encapsulated map on a string to hang round my neck!

And there you all were thinking Andy and I had just slapped together a meet
There has been extensive scientific "crawl testing" to make sure minimal distance between pub and bed, and wasn't at all based on driving around the corner and finding a pub there

All the people who are registered for the meet should have received a registration e-mail a couple of days ago. We will be sending details out at some point this weekend detailing meeting points and maps etc... We will also include what the outstanding balance will be. We would prefer cash on the day, but you can use paypal if you have to. We have 5 places left for the Saturday, so if you haven't signed up yet, or if you would like to bring a friend we still have room on the bus for you. PM me direct if you are interested. Only a week to go folks Cheers Cris.

That's a very good point!
There is plenty to do in Manchester City Centre, and there won't be too much time during the weekend to see any of it. We won't be spending any time in Manchester on the Mystery Tour
As you will see in the agenda (soon to be sent - hopefully tonight!) there is a gap on Sunday morning before the meet proper kicks off. I was going to suggest we drop off at the Science & Industry Museum and those that are interested could visit the Dr Who Exhibition. But there are a couple of other things you could do in the city...
Kylie - The Exhibition
Hacienda Exhibition
Of course there is lots for you to find yourself, here is a good starting point
Cheers
Cris
PS - Still a couple of places left, so send me a PM ASAP if you would like to attend this coming weekend.

Ok guys, I have just sent out the Guide to this years meet. Sorry for the slight delay. If anyone hasn't received it please let me know and I will give you the direct download address. I nipped down to the t-shirt place this afternoon, I think this one may become a collectors item. There is still room if you haven't signed up and you fancy getting your hands on one of these exclusive can't buy them anywhere items Cheers Cris.

Hi. Due to Rob Schofield and I being both overworked and underorganised, neither one of us got around to booking a hotel room in the Ibis hotel, which is now booked up. While we can find a room somewhere else, I thought it might be worth asking whether anyone going to the meet might have a twin room with half underutilised, and would be willing to put up with one of us for the duration. We will obviously pay our way pca

OK, just got it back from being RMA'ed.
I could bring it, even though it's nowhere finished, but to actually turn it on it would be nice if someone local could bring:
- a standard PC ATX power supply (with UK power cord)
- a powered USB 2.0 hub (with UK power cord)
- a USB keyboard
- powered speakers (with cable for stereo RCA line outputs)
Please let me know asap, I'll be packing in a couple of hours.

Oh bugger, never mind.
I screwed up major last minute. I noticed the G4 would only recognize 448 MB of the 1 GB memory module I bought elsewhere.
I tried some memory related BIOS options, and now the G4 will no longer boot. There's no visible CMOS reset jumper on the top board, so I'll have to wait for support ...

Not so easy; there are two pcb's with components on both sides. No battery on the only accessible side.
But, I fixed it by changing the memory module for a 512 MB one from an old laptop.
It allowed me to enter setup again and change things back.
So, it's working again (beit with 448 MB RAM).
Cris, can you bring the stuff on the list?
