Katy Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 Getting railcard is the first thing I got when I became a student again and I'm way over 26. Answer? Become a mature student and get a railcard
Guest Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 Hopefully I shall qualify for this beautiful item. Will find out in March.
C-man Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 I'm definitely in for the TPH/Flynny love-in in Bristol.
Alexikokopops Posted 7 January 2009 Posted 7 January 2009 I'm definitely in for the TPH/Flynny love-in in Bristol. Fez and I will be about too I imagine. Not sure where we're loving in, but it sure as hell will be lovely.
Flynny Posted 7 January 2009 Posted 7 January 2009 I'm definitely in for the TPH/Flynny love-in in Bristol. OMG SLUMBER PARTYYYY! Fez and I will be about too I imagine. Not sure where we're loving in, but it sure as hell will be lovely. There's always the old bath/pillow treatment or the aforementioned kitchen chairs if you need somewhere to crash.

The People's Hero Posted 7 January 2009 Posted 7 January 2009 It's going to go off at this pyjama party in Bristol. ps I don't wear pyjamas - I sleep naked. That's right, naked.
Flynny Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Naked in my bath would be quite a surprise for the rest of my floor. Probably an arrestable offence too. Doesn't your brother know the warden here though? That could come in handy.
Alexikokopops Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Especially if there's two of us naked in the bath. Top and tails of course, we're not gay
Flynny Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Ah course. Top/tail is never gay. Except when you're drunk and fall asleep before switching, thats pretty rough when you wake up in the morning. There's 4 baths between 8 on this coridoor.
Alexikokopops Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I once slept top and tail with a guy known only as "Gay Dan" in a single bed after our Sport Federation Ball at Uni. One of the best nights sleep I've ever had. Now, some might say it was the bottle of wine we drank on the 10 minute walk from the ball to the bed but deep down we all know it was the top and tailing that did it.

Gutted. James, book a few days before and get singles each way from £9 - If your journey time is flexible and you ring up as far in advance as you can you'll get a non-open (single) train in each direction for less than 20 quid. Just don't miss it or buying on the day becomes tres cher........
fox123 Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Does anyone know how much a weekly/monthly train pass would cost me from Leicester - London, I would be commuting on a daily basis. Also any ideas on tube fairs/how long it would take from Kings Cross - Holland Park

Look at the tube journey planner for the tube times for Kings X to Holland Park. N
The People's Hero Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Me n Alex never top n tail. We spoon n poon. It's the Harpoon Cru way.

N I thought about moving down there for a week, coming back at week-ends, but family circumstances that can't be the case. Will have to discuss with company at interview stage if they are prepared to help with travelling expenses. Thanks for info anyway.
Nick Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 Me n Alex never top n tail.We spoon n poon. It's the Harpoon Cru way. Morning TPH. Are you OK? I am really happy for you though I am not sure this is the right thread......... Love you big guy, like a man embracing a war buddy whilst standing on a Black and Decker Workmate. N.

Edit: You can usually get a travel card with your season ticket which generally works out cheaper than using an Oyster yourself.

My mate currently works for the NHS down there, and gets £3000 plus per annum for living in London. Is that the same for Private Sector or just Public Sector workers?

Inner / Outer London weighting usually associated with public sector jobs but some private companies do it and call it something else.... The extra cash isn't really just for travel though as in London one is raped every time one steps out for a sandwich.

Is that the same for Private Sector or just Public Sector workers? Some firms do pay more just for living in London. My mate got £4000 extra and he worked for a Private firm. I don't get any extra than when I worked just south of Reading (for the same company in the same department) but that's only because they were paying over the odds for people who lived in Reading.
The People's Hero Posted 8 January 2009 Posted 8 January 2009 I have a property opposite the train station. My, you are a dark horse!

Thanks for help, again. Lets hope I can persuade them to help subsidise my travel arrangements, should I be successful.
