There is a chance (a good chance) that I wont be able to go to the gig tomorrow night!!!

Train is booked. Hotel is booked. Ticket in hand.

F*cking nightmare scenareo. I'm a bit pissed about the £200+ I've shelled out for the trip, but more importantly, I doubt I'll EVER see Prince in concert again.

Imagine that!!!

My memories from 01/8 and 07/8 are NOT comforting me at the moment.

Rant over. Thanks for listening!!!

I'll cross my fingers and toes everything gets sorted so you can

Never say Never, I hope u find a way 2 go

Thanks. I'm not giving up, and I'm NOT getting rid of the ticket. Londonn is a 4 hour drive from Edinburgh (I recon I can do it in 3) so until 6pm tomorrow, I'm saying there is a chance.

Ever the optomist

Am I missing something? You have a ticket for the concert, a ticket for the train, and your hotel is booked. Why can't you go?!!!

Well....We're going on holiday on Saturday, meaning my wife has to work until she's prepared her works accounts for September (could take hours!!) and my 1 year old son isn't well, so I can't (and wouldn't anyway) take him to nursery.

My train leaves at 11.30, so that's a write-off. My hope is that the missus finishes by 5 and I'll drive down.

Oh poor wee soul, I really feel for you! Kids always manage to get ill at the most inopportune (is that a word??) moments! Am heading down tomorrow from Edinburgh airport so will be thinking about you! Fingers crossed! And if you do drive down, please take it easy!!! I know it's Prince but believe it or not there are more important things in life!!

I know it's expensive but why not fly from Edinburgh aiport to London City Airprort. City is 10 mins taxi away from the dome.
There's a 7pm-ish Air France flight.....
Driving from Edinburgh to London is around 400 miles - that's a lot !

that sucks- kids eh who'd have them!
but i must ask that if tomorrow afternoon you know u r not going that u give them to SOMEBODY!! it's such a waste (i'm not after them, i'm fine!)
and what on earth are you driving?? I used to take 4 hours from Darlington minimum!!

I'm a cock-eyed optomist. Maybe 3 hours is a bit wild....but where there's a will, there's a way!!

For the record, I'll be driving a 2L blue Laguna. If you see me on the motorway tomorrow MAKE WAY!!!!!

jarvis76 said:

Oh that's tough. I hope you work something out.

Is there no1 who could have ur son 4 a few hours?

jarvis76 said:

wow , it takes me 4 hours 2 get 2 manchester!
go careful....or try n get the plane....its very good.... and less stressful, although very expensive (4 my current budget).

always worth trying 2 get acheap flight anyhwere anytime is my philosophy, so if i wer u i'd get scouting 4 a flight.
please don't risk urself by driving 2 london frm edinbrugh in 3 hours. unless u r

take care, good luck n hope ur son gets better.

n never say never...i'm sure u will c prince again... 2mrw or otherwise.

Thanks. He's not doing too badly to be honest and it's nothing serious thank god.

If he isnt too bad let him infect all the other kids in nursery, they need to build up their immune system somehow! (can you tell i'm a child hater!!)

I feel sorry for your wife too with stress of work & your son sick & you stressing out. Better give her a Big Hug & tell her you luv her!

You're right about one thing, you probably will never have a chance to see Prince in concert again, this is historical.
