Not seen you for a while. When's your next match? :)

as for the "journey" to northampton, i thought that the driver "missed" the turn for the M4 at bristol and thats why

they ended up on a guided tour of central england.idiot. :@

Some of us understood your meaning, Brady ;-)

just for the record, i wasn't seriously suggesting the M4/M5 junction could in fact be seen from space, but purely trying to highlight that when you get to it, it really does take some missing. clearly i failed. i will retire to a quite corner and have a serious talk to myself. sorry to have bothered you all. =D

I left at 12pm friday (half hour, hour before the team bus, depending who you believe) as i was staying in Northampton for the weekend and went straight up the m5 to birmingham/coventry then headed right across to Northampton from there, and only took me 3 hours 45 mins, just shows how unlucky the team bus was, i must have missed the closure by half hour at most!

In fairness, "space" is only 62 miles up. Given that the horizon, at sea level, it 15 miles away and we have no trouble at all seeing ships at that range, I find it inconceivable that we would find continents difficult to distinguish at 4 times the distance.

Sorry, probably too literal an answer, but I do take your point Gulli, I don't buy this being able to see stuff from the moon garbage. I'm not even convinced man has ever been to the moon.

Matt.

You can barely see continents from space, it's a complete myth that you can see the great wall of China or anything man made at all.

back on topic tho - how the hell does a coach driver MISS the M5/M4 junction ?!?!?? apparently, it's the only man made object you can see from the moon :rofl:
Are you sure? I thought that it was Spagetti junction (Birmingham, M5/M6) that you could see from space, & also the "Great Wall of China".

Enjoy your trip to Plimuff then :) (perhaps Bristol or Bath maybe, but theyre a bit far for a commute though)

I'll admit Fletch that I was fortunate to get the apprenticeship opportunity that came my way when it did. I've had my fair share of working away from home as well, although it's always been for South Devon companys. I've done a couple of stints at STC/ITT/Nortel as an outside contractor, the last stint between 1999/2001 being very lucrative.

I've had my share of the difficult times as well, but nowhere beats the ENGLISH RIVIERA for a place to base and nowhere beats Plainmoor to shout off one's face. :clap:

I used to do the same sort of journey Camb, to and from the delightful environs of Huntingdon :)

Dont forget on a Friday afternoon, the heavy traffic on the M4 is Bristol bound. Heading towards London that time of day is a lot easier (unlike on a Sunday afternoon).

Always found Oxford/Silverstone/Northampton/Wellie to be the quickest route for me, certainly quicker than the M42 which has been a bloody car park whenever Ive used it on a Friday...

Next time, try the Bedford/Aylesbury/Oxford/Swindon route. That used to be a reasonably quick run and more enjoyable than the motorways :)
