Crazy Horse,
To play your amercian DVD's you just need to change your dvd player to multi-region (rather than 2 for Europe). If you search the internet for your player model and the code for multi-region, it is normally a quick job. I have done this because (ironically with your name) i have an interest in Native Americans and have bought a few dvd's on the subject from the states.

Bad news. My English friend Ros has finally contacted me after buying her a concert ticket and booking a room and told me that she is not into spending 24 hours with our dear Harley fans. She thought that we would just be driving to Birmingham, seeing the concert and driving back again. She asked me to sell her concert ticket and cancel her room. That means that Kathy, Scott and I would be taking a train from Milton Keynes to Birmingham and, I suppose, taking a taxi from the train station to Jury's Inn. Jumbo, dear Jumbo, do you by any chance have a number for a taxi service from the train station to the hotel??? And, how will we be able to take our luggage onto the train? Also, how will we know when we get to Birmingham? Do they announce it on the speaker system or what? I am freaking out about getting around without someone who knows what they are doing.

I know it is early in the planning stages--I hadn't planned on making final arrangements until about three months before the concert date--but I need to know how to get around now. Can anyone give me a link to book a train and give me advice on how to use it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Cheri,
trains from MILTON KEYNES CENTRAL take around 55-90 minutes(DEPENDING ON WHICH YOU CATCH) to get to BIRMINGHAM NEW STREET and there are approx FOUR direct trains per hour. There are large luggage storage areas in the vestibules of each train carriage,if you ask at milton keynes station they will provide a porter to assist you to the correct Departure platform.
If you go for the VIRGIN trains at 13 minutes after the hour (10.13,11.13,12.13) they only take 55 minutes and BIRMINGHAM NEW STREET will be your third stop,it stops at COVENTRY,BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL (DO NOT GET OFF THERE) and then NEW STREET.all stops will be announced via the train intercom. When you arrive at NEW st.Station go up the escalators and follow the exit signs,after passing through the ticket barriers go to your right to the Taxi ranks about fifty yards away . There will be hundreds of black cabs waiting there as it is one of the busiest stations in England. The Jurys Inn is only five minutes by cab and will cost less than ten dollars,about 5 or six pounds.
You will be able to book your Virgin train ticket online at WWW.VIRGINTRAINS.CO.UK . You will not be able to book this yet as there is only a couple of months window in their booking system,I suggest if you go for the 12.13 departure from MK then you will arrive at B'HAM NEW STREET at around ten minutes after one,so with the cab ride you will be at the hotel before half past one,where you should be able to check in then or soon after.I am plannig on being at the hotel for around 13.00 myself and will be in the lobby area to meet and greet!
hope this is not too complicated,remember e-mail me anytime and of course you have my cell phone number. xxx
