Lambert: What are these infants bleating about?

 

[Mise]

Or we could do what mise is suggesting-not sure what that is

http://www.megabus.com

 

[Lambert Simnel]

Ram, old chap, I have no idea. I do, however, think it's cute to use an accusation of playing chess as some indication of senility and fogeydom....

(PS P-K4)

Abaddon, when I went to York we took a megabus for £16 or so to Leeds and then a train to York for £6 (w/ young person's rail card). It took about 6 hours but it's a hell of a lot less costly than a £40 train. If I were you I'd go on a megabus at some unspeakable hour in the morning and aim to get to Victoria Coach Station for 10am or so.

They charge you extra if you nick their hubcaps.......

You say 'cute'. I say that little nipper's going to get a clip round the ear hole when I see him!

And there's a surcharge for making retro hip-hop medallions out of them too.

 

[BCLG100]

I never said you were playing well.....

And it'll be good to arrive and see you laying into rik because your eyesights gone and you think that hes just 'another one of them darn foreigners coming in to steal the jobs of the normal Uk citizen'

You would have thought one of them would be resourceful enough just to nick a car from somewhere and pick the other one up. Young people today, eh ?

That assumes they know how to drive. :muttleysnicker:

That megabus thing is becoming very popular amongst poor uni kids in the colonies. You can chose your own movie while you pound pints too.

 

[BCLG100]

I know how to drive just not so.......legally....

the link i clicked on said that the site was closed mise?

 

[Mise]

Their website seems to be down atm... was working an hour or so ago tho.

 

[Abaddon]

I can drive.. but im pretty sure petrol cost from Newcastle- London hugely outweighs train/bus costs. Also, where do i park.. and HOW on earth would i drive back in the state i plan to get in?

 

[Abaddon]

OOooH, BUS = cheap, sure it takes time.. but im young, i have time to waste

BUT BCLG, still doesnt solve us meeting unless you can get to sheffiled or leeds

 

[BCLG100]

Bus sounds good, how cheap? And i never realised Newcastle was so much further away from manc.

but oooo thats very cheap

i can get to sheffield via train i imagine, its a tenner on the bus return.

The national rail for some reason wont let me look at the cost of a ticket to sheffield but i shouldnt imagine it'd be too much.

theres a bus that arrives in sheffield at 9am down to london so who knows what time that is your way but its more than early enough to start with a few

 

[Abaddon]

No there isnt.. cant see any buses leaving sheffield at 9.. i can see a 9.35 tho you mean that one?

 

[BCLG100]

Yeah that was probably the one i meant

Ok returns are about a tenner also so thats not bad (on the train that is) so yeah can probs make it over to sheffield.

Quite how Wigan was omitted from that map of major cities is easily explainable.

Wigan folk all drive chariots of gold, and others wanting to enter Wigan have never wished to leave. Thus Bus companies have refused to send more drivers for fear of never receiving the bus back.

On the outskirts of Wigan there is a sign which reads "You are now leaving Wigan, why?".

Which on the back some wit has scrawled...

"You are now entering Wigan, why?"

It's quite possible that some uncultured baffoon has written such a thing. I'd never know, having never had any reason to leave this blessed city of mine.

 

[Abaddon]

Culture not appeal to you then? Nor entertainment,scenic views.. or people with a full set of teeth?

I'm sensing that you've never actually visited Wigan. No one who has entered the city which brought George Formby and Charlie Chaplin to the world would actually utter such a thing.

 

[Abaddon]

Nope can't say i have.. any no hurry either.. got anyone alive that would draw me in.. certainly not your football team!?
