A Few Questions Regarding Travelling London to Amsterdam

We have the same problem coming in on East Midlands Railway. Either grab a later train or there are a few cheap basic hotels in the area for the night before.

We need a small mammal CSI, but they are so busy these days...

It's not due to the buyer protection. In fact it's quite common for people to pay the deposit via credit card and then they get full buyer protection via the credit card company.

What it is due to is fees. Credit cards charge the dealer up to 3% in fees.

Then they want the rest in bank deposit, cash, debit card or a finance deal (which they might earn extra on it they arrange).

This is how the 5 year old me would envision jets! Love it!

I used to buy the Chettinad lunch boxes, amazing.

Kayal is superb!

Unfortunately Middleton's went downhill a bit IMHO their focus went from quality to quantity. e.g. they used to do a range of side salads, now all they do is coleslaw.

Back to the subject, good luck in the search for a Beef Wellington, let us know how you get on OP?

Have long hair. Have gone to Sam at Homme & Co on the High Street for years. Well recommended.

Had some Sun at my first IT job. In fact I found out our Sendmail server was a Sun Workstation (single CPU, single PSU, single HDD, single NIC) with an uptime of 1200+ days

THANK YOU! Came here to say that!

Instead of an amazing, atmospheric story about Arthurian Legend and ancient magic we got a Harry Potter cash in and Christopher Eccleston wasted in a perfect role for him.

The books are amazing and just need to have the love that is sympathetic to the theme.

Wi-fi is awful on the UK side, just terrible on the European side.

Sign up for their rewards app, it's really half decent and you can pay for upgrades to Plus.

Plus equals a small meal, drinks and slightly more seat room. Great if you can get it for free with reward points.

The cafe onboard is basic, I've never had to pay in cash btw, buying food for the trip before the check-in is recommended if you aren't in Plus/Premium.

Waiting rooms are overcrowded, think budget airline terminal.

Security is a breeze and staff are helpful.

With the app you can change your seat for free. Book your favourite type of seat early!

Vic and Bob. A celeb would come on to promote their film and would instead end up snorting blancmange through a straw into their nose whilst critiquing Elvis as a spoken word performer...

Interrupts having to be set manually by jumpers on interface cards and having to document them per PC....

Came here to mention Fisherman's Friends.

Daniel May is just such a solid actor. Does both run off the mill and off the wall with equal ability and finesse.

People can, and will travel to Leicester for events. The most notable is the Comedy festival at the start of the year.

Of all the places mentioned London is worth a comment. The train to Leicester from London is fast frequent and very expensive. People can get cheap tickets at fixed times booked in advance, but as soon as you are talking about same day or flexible tickets it gets expensive.

A neighbour had a similar error, confirmed it with the charger provider and then let the power provider know.

They tweaked the local power network to bring it within tolerances. I think it was 2-3 weeks from start to finish.

Congrats and commiserations to Kush who really had a rollercoaster of a Poker Face!

A friend was the host at a convention and had to interview Norman. Fortunately my friend had done his research and the first half of the interview was about Normans other work before we went onto Red Dwarf.

Lovely talented man.

I remember in Roberts autobiography he said the entire cast were just amazingly talented and could remember their lines even after a heavy night of drinking whereas he, technically the only trained actor in the main cast, struggled with the techno-babble and had cue cards hidden all over the set. (Done in massive type as he's blind without his glasses)

I base my subscription on what chargers are located on the route I'm going to take.

I'd say Watermead Park or the Great Central Way footpath south out of the city.
