I didn’t know you were a coffee drinker **yojimbo** 😉 Shame I can’t make it really. ---

Aside from saying that it looks like a good time was had by all, and I’m jealous (as usual) that I never get to go to Dopefests, I _have_ to say that CASDAVE has the kindest, prettiest eyes I’ve seen in quite some time. Of course, he may be a psychopath, but nice eys. 🙂 ---

The stupid SPL league-split thing this season means I can’t plan that far ahead … can’t risk not being at Parkhead when we _officially_ wrap the title up 🙂 There will be another official DubDope in April, when Diane’s in town (does anyone know the dates?), maybe some of you Sassenachs could come over here for that. ---

I can’t do that weekend in April anyway…best man duties at a wedding. I’m around most other weekends, though. ---

Alright, I think I might be able to make Amsterdam. Can anyone recommend any particularly cheap flights or accommodation? If not I’ll be on the overnight coach from Victoria, and I’ll be staying in a bunk bed in some hole in the red light district (like last time…!) ---

Matt – you may want to think about rephrasing the last part of that second sentence. I haven’t sorted anything yet but Coldie is a regular commuter from Amsterdam to London. If he doesn’t see this I’m going to e-mail him and ask that he post anything he knows in the next couple of days. As regards accommodation, things are a little up in the air at the moment due to………complications. I’ll e-mail you. Glad you might be able to make it. ---

I’m assuming LC is mailing you about the accomodation. KLM, British Airways, and British Midland have comparable fairs from any London airport to A’dam. I usually pay about NLG 330, which is about GBP 95. My girlfriend buys her tickets for the reverse trip between GBP 90 and GBP 120, depending on the time-to-departure, so to speak. KLM UK operates at least 8 flights per day from London to Schiphol. British Midland is usually the most affordable. If you like a 90 minute train ride to Luton, there’s always EasyJet. 😃 ---

Thanks **L\_C** , **Coldie**. If I fly it’s likely to be British Midland, but I’m holding off booking for the moment (I need to find out where I am the Friday and the Monday for work). I can always stick to the coach if the planes book up though. ---

Haven’t settled on a specific date for Dublin then, Diane? I won’t be around the first weekend in April… ---

I’d plan your DubDope towards your departure date, Diane… you’ll need the time to recuperate from AmsterDope. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/london-pics-are-up/52699.md?page=1)
