4 things.

[the_muppet]

1) dream: I would very much like to be able to have a dream about, say, Colin Morgan. Or Matthew Gray Gubler. Or something Merlin-related. Or y'know something vaguely connected in some way to any of the above. My brain however thinks it's perfectly acceptable instead to give me a dream wherein I had dark-eye syndrome - which is something Matthew Gray Gubler has. Seriously, brain? This is not an acceptable substitute.

2) expo: Still don't know if I'm going to the Expo or not. Much as I want to I'm waiting on whether or not my friend will agree to come because I just won't go on my own. In the meantime I do really need to answer some of her questions, so you guys really need to help me out here if you can. Please remember I'm an eejit, I've never been to anything like this before, and I know nothing. Seriously, nothing. Use that as your starting point for information and you can't go far wrong. So if any of you went to the Expo in October 08 or May 09 - or know anyone who did - please help me out here. Okay, some of the obvious things I want to know to start you off - and I know the Merlin cast aren't confirmed yet but I'm sure they will be:

i) were they there on the Saturday or Sunday at both previous ones?
ii) ticket info - we only want to go for the Merlin stuff - the Q&A and (hopefully) signing session
iii) which London station do we need to go to?
iv) all the stuff I've not yet thought of...

3) packages: I got a couple of packages this week so I'd just like to say a huge thank you to from_the_corner for the card and chocolates (yummy) and accordingtomel for the card and necklace which arrived today (lovely) - thanks so much to both of you, I get so excited when packages arrive for me and these were both lovely surprises ♥

4) merlin: IT'S MERLIN!TIME ON SATURDAY! =D

The font of all knowledge (FoaK) gets to display her versatility! Ohhhhh yeah :D

Okay so I can only answer your third question, but it's the most important of all! I am an expert on working out London underground routes :D

If you're getting the train into London, get tickets to Stratford station. Much easier than going into Liverpool Street or anywhere else, and it's a lot closer to the ExCel.

While you're at Stratford, purchase a one-day travelcard. It's £6.30 and you can travel wherever you want within zones 1, 2, 3 and 4 (which, don't worry, is more than you'll need for this trip) after 9:30am.

From Stratford, you need to get on the Jubilee line (grey on all Tube maps and signs at Stratford station) to Canning Town. From there, change onto the Docklands Light Railway (upstairs on Platform 3), and Custom House for ExCel Station will be your second stop. And then you're there! Same route on the way back, except reversed ;)

Hope this helps! FoaK OUT *salutes*

Wow, that all sounds pretty confusing =/ Thanks so much for all the info though, very halepful =)

Oh - and I guessed what FoaK was =)

I promise it's not as confusing in practice as it is on the screen! Everything is sign-posted REALLY well in the underground, and there are recorded announcements at every single stop on the Jubilee line, telling you what you can access from this stop and the next stop.

Hope so!

Thanks again sweetie ♥
