Aargh! Looks like I can't fly back from East Midlands airport after biCon, because it will be Sunday, and *nobody* wants to fly from East Midlands on Sunday, do they? Go only run one flight, which leaves at 10 to seven, which with travel to airport and check in times would mean leaving BiCon at 5.30 at the latest, which ain't gonna happen. And BMI are even worse. So, can I stand to spend an extra day in Leicester, getting more and more depressed as everyone has gone and all I want is to go home (been there, done that, no fun), or do I investigate the horrors of Virgin rail again?

UPDATE: It looks as if it's also impossible to get out of Leicester by train unless we catch the 5:05. Does anyone else understand my horror of being there a day later than everyone else. I'm really a bit worried about this now, because the comedown can be horrible.

UPDATE ON UPDATE: All is now sorted, see my latest post. Phew.

Have sorted out flights to (and more importantly from) BiCon! Go me! and Rar! Sorry about the confuzzled mopiness of my earlier post. I found that if I book singles going down with BMI and back with Go it all works out. I would be more apologetic for being stupid, but plane (and train) websites are not exactly informative - whatever happened to the simple timetables of yore?

And I promise to never ever quote Chris deBurgh again - it brings bad luck...

5.15pm Oh, and I've now actually booked my annual leave for BiCon, so I can guarantee to be actually going...

Google me baby...
