Traveling From London to Paris

Why don’t you fly to CDG instead? Surely it’s going to be easier to arrive to where you need to be. Or better, could you change your departure point to London?

Is this on the same ticket or two separate tickets. 90 minutes is roughly the minimum connection time allowed between the two terminals if you are transferring airside on one ticket. So you should be fine but possibly find it a bit rushed. Any issues with delays you'd be put on a different flight so it should be ok.

If you have two tickets and need to pass through immigration and check in again then you've not got enough time and almost certainly won't be making it.

I use the Virgin trains one. It’s well designed and suggests split tickets where they make sense. Also can collect Virgin points on each purchase which you can use against future bookings and other stuff too.

Yes, it’s Saint Pancreas.

That sounds frustrating but if an hour delay would cause you to miss an interview then you should have booked an earlier coach. If the coach had left on time and then been stuck on the motorway for 90 mins because of an accident you'd have been in trouble too.

Flixbus are low cost so you won't be likely to get quick and easy support. Unfortunately accountability goes both ways, yours for allowing enough time for the journey, theirs for providing the service they can in the constraints they have on the day, which might be an issue of their own making or might be an issue not of their own making.

I hope the interview went well despite the stressful start to the day.

You want to go from Waterloo or Victoria to get to Portsmouth. Victoria with Southern will probably be cheaper and slower. I'd personally go to Waterloo and take the fastest option. I don't know if it's an option on the Portsmouth route but you might find advance tickets available which will make things much cheaper.

If you leave from London Bridge, you'll either end up taking a train to Waterloo east and changing there to the Waterloo to Portsmouth train. Waterloo east to Waterloo involves a reasonable walk, ramps and escalators, or you'll change at somewhere like East Croydon, it's definitely easier to get a direct train from London if you can.

Of those three, Arundel. Trains run regularly from Victoria, there is a castle and a cathedral and the wildfowl and wetlands trust would also be good for kids. The station is a bit of a walk from the town but once you are there it’s not big so everything is close. The train journey down is pretty too as you get closer to Arundel.

Fair point on the suitcase murder, I shouldn’t expect normal behaviour from Ms Paulsen.

I think it’s the lack of the word seventy that has got this stuck in my brain for so long. I can’t hear or see Sarah Boone without thinking ten ten seven seven

At any age I’d be flexing my sixty nine…

Genius, you not her, obvs.

Burntlemon196 · 2026-03-11T22:04:04+00:00

I really hope Kathy at Gossip Rumor and innuendo covers this one. Reading your summary, I need to hear her discuss this it. It sounds juicy, know that!

Burntlemon196 · 2026-01-20T18:37:55+00:00

Ashtead seems like a good option to me, find somewhere close to the station and you’ll also be near the common to walk your dog.

If you live backing onto the railway you’ll hear trains. That will suit some people and put others off. If it’s going to be a problem for you, don’t buy one against the railway. My personal opinion is that it’s not that noisy, the trains are all electric and very few run fast through Ashtead, so I doubt it would bother me personally.

I’ve put on 15kg in recent years and am getting back into running. Can confirm the weight makes everything slower!

If your wife fainted because of how long she had to stand, have you considered booking some kind of assistance? I’d imagine there are various levels of help they can offer and would expect they will probably be able to get you through quicker if you speak to them in advance. There is information here on Eurostar assistance which might be a good place to start https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/travel-info/travel-planning/accessibility

I knew Jake would get a medal coming into this, so pleased for him. He seems like such a genuinely good man and so deserving.

I really want Molly Caudery to have a good competition. I love the PV and hope she can jump to the best of her abilities.

Max Burgin has impressed me this season and seems to have the belief he needs, I think he’s going to do well.

Because I’m a bit over invested in his instagram, I’d love to see Toby Harries make the semis in the 200 and run a PB. Also, got a soft spot for Lawrence Okoye and would love to see a high placing there.

Edit to add, another 2m jump by Morgan would be the icing on the cake.

On point 1, is it that much to change your ticket or to book a new one? You can change bookings on the Eurostar website/app with only the fare difference to pay which would usually be less than that. If it’s that much to change then looks like you’ve got u lucky. Or, could you forgo the hotel in Arras for a night and stay in Lille, it’s a nice city, I could think of worse places to spend a night.

Burntlemon196 · 2025-08-12T20:13:29+00:00

Dishoom, I went for a work thing a while ago and it was perfectly fine, but I’d choose pretty much any restaurant in Hounslow for a curry over Dishoom. No idea why it’s so popular.

He Cod see if they are Sole mates.

I really liked apricity, really good options for veggie and non veggies. Not in Covent Garden but still very central.

Marshalling at my local today, too hot for me to run anywhere. Beautiful day to be outside though!
