    well, ive done newcastle and have just booked tickets for st andrews, so nope. but chances are i'll withdraw from leicester to let somebody else have a chance, but i dunno, every now and then it feels like i like kings, newcastle and st andrews equally so it'd be silly to not investigate it further

    Yeahh, there was no contest really. I loved Newcastle probably just as much, but the distance is a problem. I just wouldn't be able to afford to come home for the weekend because of trai prices, which would mean I couldn't come back to work like I can with Sheffield. It was horrible withdrawing from the other two, but there we go. Now I can relax and make plans
