No, the Westgate.

The only place closer to the station is the YHA, I didn't think of this place, from what I have heard it is OK, I'll try and find out more tomorrow.

The one thing that really worries me is do I need to bring a ball gown or can I manage with a party frock?

Definately the ball gown. It is Oxford after all.

Initial Itinery for discussion:

K.O 1.00pm

Magdalene College where its fabulous Tower stands guard to the Eastern Entrance to the City

Up the High St

Queens college to the left, University college to the right and numerous others

Hang a left for refreshment at the Bear, Merton College is in vicinity

the oldest pub in Oxford, allegedly

Back onto the High, cross over to see the barley twist columns of University Church of Saint Mary the Virgin and the magnificent Gothic Architecture, where John Wesley blasted out his Protestantisms and Cranmer denounced the Pope. It has a magnificent Tower to climb for those interested.

A quaint tea room for others.

Through the alley and into Ratcliffe Square, a truly fantastic place and home to Gibb's Ratcliffe Camera

and various other buildings including Hertford College and Oxfords own Twin Towers of All Souls designed by Hawksmoor

Moving on past the Bridge of Sighs

which spans two buildings, anyone know which building they are linked to?

After having passed through the labyrinthine Covered Market

There are various watering holes in the area or we could make haste to

Where they make their own ice cream and is famous throughout Oxford, which is opposite

the formidable Tom Tower of Christchurch Cathedral

Which was home to Harry Potter and the King in exile

Somewhere along the line we have to pick up endure

Sounds like a plan

I'm gald you said that.

If someone can send me their mobile number I can call you when I arrive.

While you're there you could pop into the Turf Tavern, one of Oxford's finest pubs, and definitely the hardest to find (unless you're in the know )

That's a worry

999 will get you straight through

While you're there you could pop into the Turf Tavern, one of Oxford's finest pubs, and definitely the hardest to find (unless you're in the know )

Well, I am in the know and it is also one of my favourite pubs, still has part of the original city wall running through it and is also one if the older buildings in the city.

SBK

Scouse

Endure

Moss

Two other probables

Any one else fancy their chances, because I don't fancy mine

Well, I am in the know and it is also one of my favourite pubs

Thought you might be - one of my favourites too.

Im going shopping with Jude!

I am coming to pick you up, don't be late

Jude

wow, hes grown so much!!

and what a handsome guy

Great photos too!

Well she has been getting in some drinking practice in Edinburgh & Auchenblae, pre-Oxford training.

Oh & ask her about 4 men in Kilts too

Oh & ask her about 4 men in Kilts too

She wont be too shocked when she meets four men in frocks then.

Did I just say that out loud

I'm not quite sure if I ought to ask this but what's an 'Oxford Moot'? It's not some sort of unspeakable ceremony perpetrated on visitors to Oxford is it?

Did she enjoy the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh on her way to Aberdeen? Hope so...

I heard it involves gaffer tape, camoflage paint, baked beans and the toe nail clippings from a real life academic....

:D

Dewdrop Inn in Summertown.... Shees it took me two days to remember!!

Not a bad boozer - but a bit further away than these guys will likely be I think.

You may well be right, if Scouse has anything to do with it, you wont be able to speak due to the gargle after a few hours.

A 'Moot', is a meeting to discuss important events in the world and attempt to put them right.

Yeah Right

SBK

Scouse

Endure

Moss

Two other probables

Any one else fancy their chances, because I don't fancy mine

No one further showing interest my reputation marches before me

Did a short trial run yesterday, took some pics but I had finger prints over the lens so pretty classy outcome.

Agenda:

2.00pm meet up at the Kazbar, Cowley Road.

More Later,

Rugby just started

No worries, I am sure it will be fun. Will see you then

A 'Moot', is a meeting to discuss important events in the world and attempt to put them right.

Yeah Right

I consider that that point is moot.

Has any meeting discussed the important events of the world and ever put anything right - permanently?

Most such discussions produce temporary solutions at best - and temporary solutions at worst. The few that produce no solution whatsoever are the only worthwhile meetings.

First meeting will be at approx 1.30 on Saturday @ Las Iguanos on Hythe Bridge Street.

As you leave the station, walk out toward the main road and turn left, you will see the Oxford Hotel, made of orangy/brown coloured stone in front of you, take the road to the right hand side of the Hotel, which is Park End Street, follow that road for approx 200 metres and Iguanos is on the right, the Dukes Cut ( formerly Molly Malones ) is on the left.

sbk, do you want a lift?

Toasted, I wont be able to make the Priory for Two and I know you are off to the match, so maybe you can make it here, or we will have to meet another time.

Scouse will be with me, unless he gets caught in traffic, otherwise he will have to catch us up.

We will catch up with endure a little later.

endure, you turn right as you leave the station road, over the bridge and cross over the road and you are there.

My brother will also be meeting up, just to moderate myself and Scouse regarding the finer points of Irish Politics and to bail me out of the Big House later in the early hours

See you all there

sent you deets, maybe meet me at my b and b? I get lost going around the corner

@ Las Iguanos on Hythe Bridge Street.

I get lost going around the corner

In that case you might just end up in the right place, Iguanos is on Park End St not Hythe Bridge St

See you at the Hotel as it is on the way, or across the road at the Sports Bar.
