I have a job, it's called something like "leeching off the honest taxpayer".

Ah, good to know your not leeching off most taxpayers then.

No dissing students now. We're the future of Britain.

Im only 15 ATM so theres not much point in me going, id have to take the train for about 2 hours each way anyway, so ill probably wait until the 2013 meet then I can come, and hopefully I will have a car then too.

What time is the meet on the seventh? I'm actually considering booking the day of work and coming down. Yup, you heard it. If anyone wants to lend me a floor upon my arrival it'd be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll sleep on the street and not really care. I've slept worse :)

Yeah, I ain't good with travel websites. Usually I just go to the station and pay on the day. Anyone have any idea how much (roughly) it'll cost from Newcastle Upon Tyne to London, return obviously.

Become good.
If I buy a ticket for tomorrow, I end up looking at £60 each way with a young persons.

If I book in advance (from newcastle to london) I can get there and back for £53.80.

If I go by coach, on national express I can get a return for £13, however it's a coach and it's 7 or 8 hours long, whereas the train journey is about 3 hours each way. I don't know what your money situation is like but I'd be prepared to fork out the extra money for the train.

But regardless of whether you go by coach or train all of the cheaper versions are dependant on booking online, and booking early. The earlier the better.

Well since your government foolishly gave me citizenship, I'm over there more often. I guess I'll be added to the very long list of 'I'll come next year's.

I have several friends who travel too and from London regularly and they use thetrainline.com and always seem to find relatively cheap fares. Keep in mind that tickets are notably higher on Friday through Sunday, particularly in rush hour times - the trick is to pick around the times to find the cheapest deals.

But yeah, as Leo has said, book early and you'll save yourself a substantial amount of money.

the trains are pretty cheap for me. If I leave Stafford on thursday I can get an open return (return any time within a month of leaving) for £17, for the friday it's £29 (same ticket), I'll have to get the friday though as I have no place to stay on the thursday and a hotel room would be more than the extra £12 a friday ticket is. going to arrive at ~11:30AM friday to give me enough time to get lost and find wherever we're supposed to meet.

need to practice talking to people, maybe I'll take up drinking and get pissed on the train down...

We should do a duet together. That'll break the ice.

I will train you in these dark arts. And then we'll put you with Bezman, who can and will talk the hind legs off a donkey.

However only I can convince it to walk afterwards. Don't question me on the guide.

I updated the hub page with event info on non-meet days and also refreshed the list of attendees a bit. I think it should be comfortably done now.
