I'm on the train...
We're in Bristol tonight for some karaoke fun, and the show will be coming from there on Friday morning too.
In the true spirit of blogging here's a tediously-detailed amount of information about our train journey:
11:52 We board at London Paddington. I'm sat with Rachel, Dom, Carrie and Joce. Joce has a megaphone with her but we don't know why. Chris the DJ talent is in First Class away from us normos, for health and safety reasons...
11:57 Carrie supplies us with some chocolate cornflake minibites.
12:02 Dom realises that his 'freshly prepared fruit collection' from a well-known food retailer wasn't supplied with a spork, so I lend him one. Didn't even ask him for it back at the end.
12:09 WOAH! A train went past us from the other direction. It was really fast! Nearly blew the windows out - insane!
12:12 The girls put their foot down and say Dom isn't allowed a beer in case he ends up muttering something like 'I'm gonna get me some skirt' when he arrives in Bristol.
12:26 We arrive in Reading
12:28 We leave Reading
12:29 We have a discussion about whether the goes to Cardiff. We're not sure. Except Carrie.
12:30 We discuss what our signature dishes would be on Celebrity Masterchef:
Joce - Tuna fried rice
Rachel - Wheat free lasagne with turkey mince
Dom - King prawn and pea risotto finished off with a bit of parmesan and not a little oregano
Carrie - Chocolate mini bites, and a mean spicy sausage tagliatelle
12:34 We discuss what happened to Loyd Grossman since he's not in Celebrity Masterchef or Through the Keyhole anymore, we noticed.
12:36 Rachel says something quite interesting but then says 'this isn't for the blog' :(
12:40 Rachel has spotted Didcot Power Station - the conversation stops.
12:44 Carrie reminds us that she doesn't really want us to do that Lola song during the karaoke tonight :(
12:45 We put together a wishlist for our rider for the karaoke:
- Beer
- White wine
- Houmous, carrots
- Sarnies, crisps, dips
- Haribo or similar
- Mini burgers
- Chips
- Mini savoury bites from Harrods food hall
12:50 Joce points out some hay
12:55 We pass through Swindon, birthplace of Billie Piper
13:05 Dom is bored and wants to play solitaire on my laptop
13.11 Chippenham
13.26 Bath
13:26 Dom thinks he's spotted the mayor of Bath on platform 2 but it turns out the mayoral jewellery is in fact a tie.
13:40 We arrive at Bristol
All pretty fascinating stuff there. Listen to the show tomorrow to find if things got any better.

Hey hoop,
glad to see someone is keeping tags on the shenanigans of the rich & famous - and this is surprisingly funny!
I particulary enjoyed the 'We arrive in Reading' episode.
thank you for making me chuckle on a monday !
(I did actually laugh out loud once on a monday, but that was a bank holiday..)

Just so you know, Vitty Man D (aka Comedy Dave) drove to Bristol which is why he's not mentioned in the blog... I'm not ignoring him.

How do I get one of the "Bristol is whatever" t-shirts? I absolutely love the idea!
Also Lloyd grossman has his own range of food stuffs, I've seen him on the side of a pasta sauce bottle.
Really wish I could be there at UWE tonight but I couldn't get tickets, hope you all have fun xxxx

18:34: Nic starts reading Hoop Dogg's blog and wants a megaphone.
18:34 and a couple of seconds: Nic wants some chocolate cornflake thingys too.
18:35: Nic has no idea where the Severn Bridge goes but this isn't surprising. On the way to Fundee in May, there was discussion as to what a bridge over the water was. It was the Forth Bridge...
18:36: Nic realises that she also hates people specifying that 'you're not allowed to blog that!' She also remembers she has seen the power station and wasn't too impressed.
18:36 and a couple of seconds: Nic doesn't think Carrie should sing Lola either...I Will Survive was much better ;)
18:37 Nic finishes reading the blog entry and decides to go make a cup of tea.
