Use Revolut, don't need an Oyster.
Stansted is grand. Train to Liverpool Street will sort ya.
Everything is mad expensive and everyone's a knob.
Don't say a word to anyone on the tube or they'll think you're a terrorist.
You can stay on my couch if you behave.
Get the citymapper app on your phone, it will tell you how to get anywhere you need.
Had I 2 debit cards contactless ones which I have, he said give one to mia and obv one for and its 10 pound all day just tap for tube?
He also said Stanstead then Liverpool Street station, so should I go with that?Her sky-ness

Stanstead by far the worst airport of them all to fly to. It's like saying you're going to Galway but instead drive to Limerick and get the train up. City is the best by far, imo. Then Heathrow. You get off the plane in City and you're on the DLR within 10 minutes.
Totally lost now. Is that 2 airports, city.. Then Heathrow? And what is DLR??
Like London is huge I'm a spa and need it simple
Sorry for all the questions but genuinly sounds hard work.

'City' is an airport, the most central but you probably won't get cheap flights into it.
Heathrow is second best in his opinion, though Gatwick is fine as well imo.
Stansted and Luton are very far out - I wouldn't necessarily see them as a problem for a leisure trip though. But flying into either means that you will spend time and money getting into the centre which will cancel out a lot of the cheap flight savings. Stansted might add an extra 90 minutes onto your journey for example.

DLR = Docklands Light Rail. Don't worry about that yet.
Do this in steps.
Step 1 - Book Flights
Step 2 - Book Accommodation
Worrying about Step 3 is a waste of your energy on March 20th when you don't intend travelling until June 3rd. Ignore all the shite on here about TFL, contactless cards and colonic irrigation therapy. Keep it simple. You eat an Elephant one bite at a time. Just take the first couple of bites. Then worry about the next easy steps.
Then bombard ye later?
Thanks again mighty bbv!Her sky-ness

+1 for city airport. It's a league above in virtually every department, on and off the plane in minutes, stroll out door and you are on the Tube (DLR) in less time than it would take for the steps to be wheeled over in the other options.
You get a mega view over the Shard and the Thames taking off and landing as well as decent views of canary wharf on the train.
Proximity to tube should certainly be high on hotel criteria. A bit of calm clear thinking will let you navigate the tube. As mentioned, google maps is your friend. look up where you want to go, find closest tube station. See which colour line then head for that when inside. There are 2 directions for each colour that split out at some point. Stand out of the hordes of people zooming around you so you can work out which is the right direction. There are tubes every few mins so if touristing and have no specific times to meet then you can afford to let a few go past and save getting on the wrong direction in a flap. Worst case and you get the wrong direction just hop back on the other way. If its packed start to love nearer doors a stop before the one you want, doors dont stay open very long.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

I saw one of the Tory Brexit Ultras being interviewed last night. Complete nonentity politically speaking but the scary thing was he had clearly convinced himself that no deal would all blow over with no lasting economic damage. If you read The Express and The Mail, that is the message you get tbf.

GOT back soon , I’ll watch it due to sunk costs but really wish I could go back in time and tell my past self to stop watching after the red wedding. It’s been all downhill since
Gotta say I’m liking Netflixes recent foray in to half hour episode miniseries. Maniac was decent and Russian Doll excellent so far (2 eps to go) . Wouldn’t even bother starting something that’s asking you to commit to 36 hours plus of watching time now

Last week I'd just a laptop bag so decided to take a Boris Bike to the airport, was using google maps instead of citymapper so it didn't tell me there are no bike stands at the airport! had to cycle back to Poplar and jump on the DLR still loads of time.
That was last Monday and I've got little but Cheltenham on my mind, as I was pedalling along I stopped to take in the view around Canary wharf and there staring me in the face was an enormous banner for 'City Island'. Yep I thought I really like that horse for the BallymoreTurning millions into thousands

I never find city or Heathrow better than Gatwick. Depends where you are going in the city as I need to get to Victoria to go to my brothers place. Gatwick is its a fraction of the price.
Choose your accommodation, look up directions on Google maps to see the difference between those three airports getting there.

Working away on laptop yesterday with the kids in the kitchen doing "arts & crafts" and some random Holidays program was on the TV on mute and I happened to look up and see this young one and proclaimed to myself (out loud) "Jaysus thats a fine pair of tits".
Of course I look round and who is standing at the door only the 3yo young lad. Finally got him to stop repeating it before his ma came home and thought no more of it until dropping the two off at montessori this morning.
Handing the two their lunch at the classroom door under the watchful eye of the younger teacher and he roars "FINE PAIR TITS". Then, as she does, his sister copies everything he does - "FINE PAIR DITS"
Looked at the floor and ran down the stairs.....picking them up at 12.30

I've an old small SSD with W7 on it, I have a new SSD that I'm gonna add to the PC. I was gonna download the ISO to my HDD, add the new SSD and do a fresh install on that. Maybe uninstall W7 from the old one then at some point in the future.
Any reason to do something different?Originally posted by Tar.Aldarion View PostConsidering you want to be using the large SSD as your OS drive I see no reason not to do what you are doing. otherwise you could have upgraded from within W7 on the old drive and kept your files etc.

Some of that journey time saving will probably disappear in waiting for it time, get the Piccadilly line, it's fast
BTW, I always use Gatwick as well, train to Victoria, easy airport to navigate especially when flying back

Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostNot sure how, but I somehow managed to install W10 on the original drive. Ugh.

Gatwick express is something like £16-£18 and is about 5 minutes quicker (if at all) than the £8 southern line to London.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 21-03-19, 11:48.

Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostCan't be seen to capitulate to EU requests after the people voted to take back power. They're not going to revoke article 50. I still see a strong likelihood of them driving off the cliff.
I see there is the prospect of another can kicking. EU will allow an unconditional extension until earlyish May, and they have to decide by April 11th if they want to take part in elections or not. That would allow for indicative votes and so on in Westminster, not that that'll help much the way they are going. We'll be up to meaningful vote 5 on May's deal by then.
