End of an era

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

Be prepared for some travelling if they do, it'll take you just under two hours from Leicester Station to Holland Park! I lasted a month with an hour and a half commute before I moved and cut it down to 30 minutes. My mate who I work with does two hours a day fine though. I'm just impatient.

My, you are a dark horse!

They call me black beauty.

PSP and FIFA 09 should be fine

What they might do is give you an interest free travel loan which will enable you to get an annual travelcard and thereby benefit from the maximum discount. This is what my company did when I used to commute from Reading to Canary Wharf. It came straight out my paycheck each month and worked out at 12 months for the price of 10. Not bad really if you don't get any actual subsidy.

That said, like Alex, after 6 months I got sick of commuting about 3 hours a day involving the rancid morning and evening First Great Western cram-a-thon between Reading and Paddington so I moved to London (now it's just 15 minutes including a little 5 minute boat ride across the Thames).

On a side note due to some mischief from my girlfriend that travelcard got used as evidence in court and never returned to me, I lost half the value of it (about £1,500). But that's another story.

Yeah I once slashed someone up with travel card real bad also.

Like the idea of a boat ride every morning that rocks James.... again no pun intended.

Thanks, the travel from Leicester isn't to bad now they have cut off a few of the small stations along the way, Hour and Ten Minutes I believe now, which isn't to bad at all considering, if I was to bus it in town from where I live would take me around 50 minutes. Moving down isn't an option, GF and Kid has stopped that from happening. I have an interview in Coventry as well, same job different company but doesn't pay as much. I need to look at the pros and cons really as Coventry is only about 20-25 minutes away by car.

Ok it was quite special and motivated, I also can't imagine the horse galloping along freely any more whilst that music is playing.....all I picture is a Rover with cock piss partridge scrawled down the side of it.

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.

When my mate from Leicester came down we were arsing around, which was fine, until we fell asleep and I woke up at 6am sprawled across his bare chest. He had both arms behind his head. I said something like "what the fook this is well gay get on the floor".

Oops.

The arsing about beforehand would have screamed the word 'gay' at me, before you even get to falling asleep.

Extraordinarily pissed, mostly. Also I wouldn't take the word 'arsing' too literally.

Oh but I do.

[The People's Hero]

I've slept in a bed with Alex, Fez and Benji I think.

Or who did I sleep with last time in the hotel in Leicester?

I lose track.

I'm such a hussy.

I love how this thread has turned into three simultaneous conversations about:

i) Gay incidents centered around two guys sharing a bed

ii) Commuting to London

iii) Black Beauty

God that train's bloody ridiculous. I think that's what annoyed me the most. If I got a seat everytime I probably could've kept it up a bit longer.

You'll save so much time and money in travel though, you have to add on another £1000 a year for tube travel (unless you can get it added onto the travelcard) plus bus fare (which won't be too disimilar). It works out cheaper for me to live in London than it did in Reading with the commute costs.

Same he. I'd say Partridge had ruined that song for me but in all honesty I think it just enhances it.

There goes Elvis, bragging again

I've just pretty much called time on the whole thing. Can't be doing with it anymore.

Can't chase for months on end.

Besides, I thought she might do similarly and got in first.

[Flynny]

I'm confused.

(Not sexually, before Katy jumps in.)

Make sure you stick to it if that's what you want to do Jim.

Damn!

[The People's Hero]

You can't just go on chasing a woman forever - best case scenario you end up in a relationship which you're really in to and they're not.

If she wants to chase me for a bit, I'm game.

Otherwise, balls to it.

oi, dear deirdre, get your essay done!
