Last I checked it was about 60 each way, easyjet.com has chosen this moment
to go belly up in a way its planes hopefully won't so I can't confirm, but
that's about right. OTOH if I can somehow get to London a round trip to
Belfast is a just 3.00. Crazy airlines run by crazy millionares++.
I feel like a heel asking for money to come over and speak, but money's
real tight and jobs are far between. Ingy and I are currently working as
blacksmith's assistants to pay the rent, which is actually kinda fun and I've
only been wounded once [1] and the smith doesn't beat us quite so hard and
the black lung from inhaling steel dust isn't so bad *cough*cough* [2]
Whatever you can come up with, in paper, metal or liquid form, will be
lovely and I thank you for the show of appreciation. [3]
I'll book a flight to come in sometime on Sunday and fly out... I dunno.
Would Wednesday be too long to slob around?
[1] I have a new found understanding of torque as it relates to hand-held
power grinders.
[2] Dickens, eat your heart out.
[3] Or as my friend Christina puts it, "tangible love energy"
