Listen up Ducks.
I bring you news. News that one of our number is missing.

It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that Battered has been stepped. Stepped, not for 24 or 48 hours. But for longer than that. A whole 3 days.

When Zammo had his drug problems in Grange Hill the cast and crew gathered and scored a hit single, 'Just Say No!' to help their hero.

Now our very own Zammo has fallen foul of the rule-makers with one comment too many. Therefore, to show your support for him, I urge you to 'Just say NONCE!'.

To understand just how Battered is feeling, he isn't even remotely angry, he's just disappiointed. Disappointed that such a scary thing could happen to him.

So. Support the GRANGE HILL ONE and send him a postcard with the word NONCE on it to the usual address.

Peace out.

West-side.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 20 May 2012, 18:03, Reply)

Maybe, although Squeezyjet only fly to Stansted
and then you're looking at BA for Heathrow or Gatwick. Then you've got the whole traipsing across London thing to factor in as well.

I can set an East Coast ticket alert to hopefully get the cheapest train tickets, but they tend to sell out fast.

The train would probably be easiest.
It'll get you central.

Depends where Stunned and Monty decided to base things of course.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 20 May 2012, 18:22, Reply)

I've just checked both websites.
Flights are reasonable but then there's the cost and time to get into the centre; it'll probably work out cheaper and quicker to train it down anyway.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Sun 20 May 2012, 18:27, Reply)
