Would I be mental if....

76 replies

I went to Stockholm for the day to get Marie’s new album?

would that make me the maddest nutter here? ;-)

(if so i’ll do it) ;-)

yay for ryanair’s cheap flights ....... yay for drinking carlsberg export and having silly thoughts ;-)

Nope not mental or nuts, cause trust me thought of doing the same thing!!! and we don’t have ryanair up here.... :)

Haha..great idea..did you book already?

not yet.....gotta book day off at work tomorrow ;-)

probbaly go to Göteborg, slighty more exspensive than Stockholm but the airport is closer than the Stockholm ones >;-)

(i didn’t do this for GT) ;-)

I’d like to go, too - but I am still waiting for possible promotional dates..*crossesfingers*

there is that too ;-)

which is why i dun want to book anything just yet....the longer i wait the less likely i’ll go for just the day cos the price will go up for flights.

Wow I am sure Ryanair changed there flight times.... early one goes to Stockholm at 8.35am... now sure it was around 6am last time cause I could never do it before cause the coach would never arrive on time...

but now.... if I can sleep in a train station in FALUN think I can sleep on a nice warm coach to Stansted!

well its 2 and half hours from oxford to stanstead (in mums car with me driving...wud take 10 hours with her driving LOL) , could make it in 2 if i used my car but dont like leaving it all day in horrible airport car parks ;)

the bus from Goteborg city airport to central Goteborg is pretty cheap :-) takes about 30 mins as oppsosed to the 60?? mins the buses take to get to central Stockholm

still thinking about it

must be mental..............or drunk ;)

i’m contemplating it too vix..... seriously! i wanna wait n see if theres a signing or sth first tho :P

haha don’t worry Vix, we already see you as mental NOW.. ;)

cool >;-) i’m mental

*just laffs in the corner*
@Judith - Vix aint mental, she’s effin mental! :P

>;-)

moi? ;P

come on marie do just 1 signing and i’ll be there....if not i’m coming to sweden to buy ure album anyway >;-)

Yeah waiting on seeing if there will be a signing, said the other day to Jackie I aim to be first in the queue... might have to rob a bank first... :)

mmm good plan Ally! we should all go to the same on! i’ll make another banner :P [and this time NO ONE will nick it!]

i’ll be first in the q!! ;-) u can be 2nd but don’t worry i’m short so u’ll see over me ;-)

What about being last in the q.? So she has more time for you.. ;-) So I go for that..

what about being in the q 2x? ;)

okies i’ll join the q at the fornt and then go to the back and start again ;)

Good idea...

Poor Marie..haha! She’ll be wondering seeing the same faces again and again..*g*

;-)

Maybe we can make kind of a chain or such! The neverending signing session.. :) I’ll be there, too, then.

VIX: GET ME ONE!!!!!!!!!

You go...........go........GO ! Vixzer! Nutters are the best! :-) I would myself..but it would be a bit longer trip...lol. You DO it !
Ryan Air IS safe i’m hoping?...wouldn’t want them to be TOO cheap...if you know what i mean. :-)

Vix, I am gonna need a copy too! :)
email me.

@sweets: send me ure email addy, i don’t seem to have it anymore :(

Ryanairs prices have gone up :(

Still showing same price here £51 for a return to Gothenburg... mine you with the news now on the front I don’t think there will be a signing....

Perhaps some Xmas shopping in Dublin can use ryanair from Manchester to Dublin...

yea if ya wanna do ryanair do it now...Alternatively ask someone in Sweden....or Fly to Copenhagen and take the Öresund bridge to Malmö (one hour direct from Denmark!). From there you could get the train, or an internal standby flight from Malmö Sturup to Stockholm Skavsta. The question is, how mental are you...?

Who went to Malmö Sturup from the Uk on Sunday August 15th to see the final GT gig in Halmstad, on the 18th methinks. Two female fans....? You ran into a backpacker who asked you how to get out of the airport at the baggage reclaim....ring any bells?

i’m booking a flight to Göteborg tonight most likely ;-)

Actualy Malmo is cheaper so i’ll be heading that way most likely ;-)

i’m still thinking about it

it is a pretty mental thing to do, but i think i would consider it aswell if i was in the UK, but alas i am too far away to do that kind of thing.
i say go for it..

still thinking about it ;) have exhausted all possibilities of getting it on release day, earliest would most likely be 48 hours later and i think i may go even more mental during that time ;) plus its any exscuse to a: have a day off work and b: go to Sweden ;)

And be aware of the fact that you can’t listen to the CD in FULL QUALITY until you’re back. ;-)

But I’d go for that, too... DO IT!

i will be taking my cd walkman with me and most likely driving my car to the airport so i’ll have the stereo for the 2 and half hour drive back ;) where theres a will theres a way >;-)

still havent decided yet though

Decided yet :) ... I am still thinking of it... it would be worth it.... and of course there is the xmas shopping advantage! :)

£36 to MALMO!! WOW!!

its a bit more to Goteborg but i’m working on the principal of how much its costs from airport to city centre aswell, this could be the shortest trip to Sweden ive ever made, 2 days is the current record for Mazarin release party, less than 24 hours could go down in the ’Mental things ive done in the name of Roxette’ book i’m going to write ;)

malmo is shite! they’re always runnin late etc! gbg is good :) or sthlm :D but toooo far

goteborg is £51 (was £30 yesterday, special offer) from Stanstead, i would say London Stanstead but its about as close to London as Scotland is ;)

oh and ive only got the one day off.....so would have to get into work the next day LOL

Am trying to find out cost of bloody train to London... but the ruddy website is shite... I know there is a train from London Liverpool St to London Standsted... but from what I can see still means I would be spending 7 hours in airport... but then again if I can do Falun I think I do a warm airport!

get this..... would be me and my mum going so i think lets just se ethe price of one ticket and thats £51 ...... if i put in 2 adults then its £133 for both of us.....the return flight is £39.99 and not £24.99 so i think if we go it’ll be a case of book seperatley coz it dont matter where u sit (as long as its inside the plane!!) coz the seats aren’t numbered anyway

the worse thing about all of it is.....i’m not keen on flying much LOL ;) so why am i even thinking about it.

R U Drunk..... (again!!)

look stansted to malmö is a short flight, then you can either a) go to Malmö b) train it to Göteborg c) catch a standby to Stockholm d) steal a bike and go lose ur kind in Östra-ljunby (should you ACTUALLY be mental)....

The point is, once ur in ur in....and you can go places. I say catch ryanair to Sturup. Then see where life takes you. Book the flight, and see how it goes. If you wanna stay over go to

http://www.exploreeurope.com

I recommend the hostel search. Good luck to all the nutters involved :-)

i’m not staying over night i would have to catch the last ryanair flight out of whatever airport i choose to go to.
Malmo to Goteborg by train is 3 hours atleast, and u gotta add on the cost of that train trip.
if i’m going anywhere it’ll be Goteborg as the airport is 30mins away from the city centre and i prefer it to Malmo also know my way around more, when you havent got much time you need to know where ure going and where stuff is ;)

cool, good luck anyways

price has gone up again :( knew i shudve booked it a few days ago

Considering I just broke the DVD player and the TV has more dents that the moon now, I think I can consider going to Sweden well and truly off... oh well....

Only costs about $1400 Aussie dollars to fly to Stockholm.... just about worth it, I reckon.

whoops.....just booked a flight >;)

Yay for Vix!

Let’s hope the release isn’t delayed! ;-P

well apprently its coming out here b4 sweden, if true i will be f****** annoyed but hey when have emi released anything here on time

Spooky LUVS Vix :o)

nothing on hmv’s site anyways. did the advanced search.

wouldnt worry vix

ABSOULTELY CRAZY!!! How much will this CD end up costing? Loads more than sitting and waiting at home. . . But that’s why fan is short for fanatic, I suppose.

I’ve never been to a realease party, so I hope she’s there to sign it for you. Make it worth the shortness of the trip. :)

And then there’s me sitting half way across the globe wondering if I’ll get a chance to buy it here. . . how many can you buy at a time. . . ?

i doubt she’ll be there to sign it, thats not the whole reason i’m going, can also do some christmas shopping while i’m at it and it will be damn funny to go for a day trip to sweden which will cost me less than a day trip to manchester!! yes it will cost me less to fly to goteborg than it would to get a day return on the train to manchester. (they have a nice shopping centre there)
if it comes out here first then i wont have to buy so many copies in sweden for my friends and i bet it still costs more to buy in the uk than it would in sweden.
so anyway.....who wants a swedish xmas card from me this year?? ;-)

Speaking of Manchester shopping centers... I am going to that today!!! :) let’s shop!!!

Yay for booking the flight!!! :)

Vix: *jumps up and down excitedly*

>;-)

enjoy the visit to göteborg vix! enjoy the album also. You offcially get the ’maddest nutter here’ tag.

cherish it (but know, you will be upstaged!)

have a good time! oam

Okay I cannot do Sweden for the album release.... but I nomally go December for xmas shopping, how’s about bringing forward to the end of November to see the TV4 Documentry!! :)

i am so looking forward to that day ( u wil not believe how much) i even got a new cd personal cd player on the way so i can listen to it :)

mental i may be.....but i’m gonna enjoy my day out

GO MARIE !!!!! :-D

ps. written after a bottle of wine >;-)

I’d be doing it myself it it where not for the ruddy water bill, gas bill, the cost of the decorating (I ain’t doing it!) and the breaking of the DVD and TV!! but I am certainly trying to get there for November now!

Vix: Mail me again, cuz I am thinkin I might have you add some other things too, and I’ll DEFINITELY post you the $$$ for that

mailed.

I’ll reply when I get home tonight. Rough day... wound up with unscheduled OT. My relief driver was getting her DOT physical renewed (required by the Department of Transportation... DOT... whoo) and was late. So I got an extra 37 minutes today.

Yay for drunken ideas! Yay for Maries new album!

Long mad day but well worth it. Just don’t let me near a pc again when i’m drunk!

;-P

lmao

Nice one Vixzter! Looks like the trip was a smart idea given that you’ve now got the album and many of us stilll haven’t!!!!

I love mad trips... I remember one in 2001, which involved a Shed Seven concert at Oxford Brookes Uni, sleeping in Stansted airport afterwards, flying to Belgium the next day with no Room Service tour ticket, buying a ticket off a tout outside Forest Nationale, seeing the very best concert of my life, sleeping in Charleroi airport, then doing a full day’s work back in the UK :-) Happy days... Rich

so ya did it, nice one....You are the maddest nutter here. end.

I still can’t belive she did this! lol ;)

Ally’s on a mission to resurrect old threads I see, hehe. I was living in Sweden when TC was released, I went to Stlhm at 9 before the shops even opened and just hovered around megastore till it did hehe.

Marie, can’t you tell I was bored last night!

There are some really funny threads on TDR from 2003 / 2004 era!
