Doesn't speaking with a mask make your speech very muffled?

I have a "special" mask with the valve removed for microphone purposes...

There's a sticky thread somewhere which lists the times.

Can I enquire as to whether Queensway is still closed for the 19th? If so, then this'll be a pain in the neck.

Yep - it's closed for the foreseeable future.

Just ignore it.

Don't ignore Queensway! Pass through! (Or we'll ruin the spirit of GWR)

Being ignorant again...

Sorry about this; I'm unacquainted with the finer arts of tube challenging. For the zone 1 thingy, will a list of stations visited, together with corresponding times, be sufficient, or does one need to collect additional information, such as train numbers (slightly more difficult, as I wouldn't know where to look)?

Well, as it happens we take these things on trust (fools that we are).

We trust that people will not cheat and will stick to the rules and not miss any stations out.

I agree to that guru :wink:

I must've been sleeping or something, which stations might be starting stations?

Also, it says on the instructions that the clock starts when the first train leaves -- is that *any* first train or the first train in the line/direction/right-colour that you're going?

Any Zone 1 station, except Vauxhall, St. James's Park and Queensway may be drawn!

YOUR clock start when YOUR train departs (or when doors closes rather)! Same as last year.

DISASTER!!!!

(Well, I THINK it's a disaster).

I dropped a heavy object on my foot last night. Ouch.

Walking is painful and running is out of the question. So I have two choices: do the challenge but walk (boring) or don't do it.

I'll have to see how my foot feels Thursday night.

Bugger!

Excuses, excuses - always excuses... :D

No, seriously, sorry to hear - hope it improves until Friday!
