I have a question...

Nearest airport to Portsmouth is Eastleigh...Southampton, I believe.
About an hour away by train from Portsmouth.

That"s right, sometimes a bit less, but pretty much an hour. But the train journeys are almost door-to-door at both ends.
Southampton Airport must be the shortest plane-to-train anywhere. If you are laden with luggage the journey from the terminal might take you up to a minute - otherwise it should be much quicker. Last week my plane parked where the second one from the bottom is. I had no luggage, so just walked straight through the airport and round to the train. Admittedly I had to hurry, as the train was arriving, but I was on the train literally within two minutes of stepping off the plane.
Alternatively, it"s about 20 miles by road, which is motorway all the way, so a taxi will get you there in no time - not too costly if you share it.

places like Portsmouth/Plymouth etc are a nightmare for us lot up here without regular flights. I tried Southampton once when I planned to go to Bestival on Isle Of Wight. Flight times/prices etc were a joke

I"m not having that. I used to fly to Glasgow regularly and it is the easiest arrangement possible. The last time was - last weekend.
There are 9/10 flights in each direction between Southampton and Edinburgh on weekdays, with fewer at weekends.
There are flights at 6.10pm and 8.45pm from Ed on Fridays (and lots earlier). On a Saturday morning there are flights at 7.10 and 11.05, arriving at 8.45 and 12.35, which should see you to Gunwharf in nice time (the station is right beside Gunwharf too).
Going back, there are 5 flights on Sundays, including one at 8.30pm. 10 flights on a Monday, including one at 7.00am, which arrives at 8.30am.
Glasgow is similar. What more do you want?

I ended up driving anyway, pretty horrendous drive though :P

Again, I used to drive it regularly - up to Hamilton on Friday night, back on Sunday evening. It"s not as bad as it would seem - a straight 6 hours if you don"t hang around and don"t waste time stopping for breaks. You"ll sleep well after it though.

"ZaZa Bazaar FTW then!" - Looks good to me (I"m in).
I thought the Last OneWay event organisation was okay. Free food "buffet" was awful. Tournament started late without any communication. Was able to Reg at Casino without any problems over the phone.
Had 1/2 dealers who were hopeless (couldn"t handle antes or count pots/change effectively).
Nothing to the standards I"d seen in the GPS - which have been very high. Can"t really remember but I think D2D was very good.
Be interesting to see how they run UKIPT next month.
Would also love to see APAT there (convenient) but not at the expense of Cardiff.

Ah, to be fair I actually missed the most recent ones. Played the 2 before that and enjoyed them though.
I"m off to ZaZa myself on 31st Oct, so will give a rating then.

And I have a 40 mile drive to Edinburgh airport John :P
