Yeah honestly if I lived in London I wouldn't bother with a car.

On a similar note, could it please not be 1/4 of the cost to drive me and my missus to London (including parking for multiple days, thanks North Ealing tube station!) than to get the train?

my unfortunate counter to this is be careful what you wish for

LNER have started doing a much bigger and aggressive demand led advance booking system which means if you know when you want to travel you can get some real steals if you can be flexible (like Easyjet) but if you leave it until the last minute, or woe betide on the day, you will be paying max price every time

fundamentally we have an issue where people want both and you functionally can't design a system that does both

cheap inter regional rail can only be made possible by not allowing turn up and go passengers on it, and similarly, making turn up and go cheap (ie aimed at metro, s-bahn type arrangements) means making long distance very expensive in nearly all cases

we currently have the worst of both

I'm aware that there's a snowballs chance in hell of it happening, but I'd really rather we just subsidised nationalised rail travel (because lord knows we already slip enough bungs to private rail firms)

I was in Germany for the 9€ ticket and it was so loving good.

Yeah, even other privatised systems are better. We took the train from Florence to Rome about 18 months back and it's the nicest train I've ever taken.

I thought of getting her a Wetherspoon's gift card as a useful gag gift but when I brought it up she says no someone took her to one when he was younger and she doesn't plan on going to old man pubs with no music.

well at least she's smart enough to be studying at Oxford

I lived in Mancheter next to the curry mile (Rusholme and then Withington) for a couple of years at uni and the best food is Caspian in Rusholme. It's an Iranian kebab place run by a chap called Maz.

Assuming it is still there, get the chelo kebab, with lamb fillet and rice (not naan).

Disclaimer - This information is from 20 years ago.

As if these places change even slightly in 2 decades

Well I was gonna go Dishoom but the queue was a solid hour in the rain so gently caress that. Bone Daddies is an excellent backup

As someone who follows it closely, yesterday and today have been a complete tyre fire and the event is basically in crisis.

It probably won't spill out onto the stage tonight other than some booing but we'll see.

Not at all worth it, their odds are artificially short after someone at the Italian broadcaster put some (what they claim are fake) percentages showing Israel having 6x the televote of anyone else
