Okay.. so I'm in London for the Progeny Fest... and Carl Palmer plays Monday night... However, I also want to do his show on Thurs. night at the Robin Hood 2 somewhere between Wolverhampton and Birmingham (near Dudley). Does anyone know where that is.. and if getting a train from London to somewhere near there is possible?? ------------- THIS IS ELP

Hey 3F -
The Robin 2 is a great venue - been there many times myself - it's actually in Bilston, rather than Dudley; I'd recommend getting a train from London Euston to Birmingham New Street, then out to Wolverhampton; a taxi can get you from there to Bilston, no problems (they're very cheap too, in that area). Try The Robin's website, too www.therobin.co.uk enjoy..... -------------

Tony Blair is always only to eager to help a Yankee in need. Give him a call at 1-800-ASSKISS -- he might even provide you with a military transport and troop escort....

BTW, remember to look the WRONG WAY when you cross the street over there!

....and try not to eat our food. It's taken years for us Brits to become immune to it That said. I hope you have a good flight and stay here. Tell us all how it went upon your return.

And you last went to the optician when, exactly??
Mr R - we happen to drive on the correct side of the road; if dim tourists (present company excepted, 3F) want to look away as we mow them down mercilessly, who are you to advise them otherwise? -------------

Now problem Reed, those quarantine laws aren't quite as stringent now that they've figured out you're already in the country. Anyway, I've got Tony Blair helping me out... ------------- THIS IS ELP

I wouldn't know since I haven't had McDonalds since my kid was a kid... However, last time I was in London, Burger King seemed to be the British choice of fast food. I guess it has something to do with it being freeze dried american beef rather than the british beef the McDonalds uses.
