:frown: I'm hopefully going to go to Kings, no booking required! It'd be awesome if you could come, you could always hitch-hike to Cambridge from Manchester, it's not that far :colondollar::rolleyes:

Im sure there is...?

I really want to :frown: Tried finding a train which could get me there.. But I can't get there before it starts /: parents aren't capable of taking me either... I could walk.. But that takes 2.4 days according to google maps /:


I checked their website and they have no booking times from 2:00pm until 5:00pm? If you caught an 8am train? :frown:

Look below the booking section. There's a non booking one later on in the day!
Kings awaits you Beardman!

Ah, I am talking about the talk at the beginning of the day, and then the opportunities to talk with professors and student of your desired subject areas! After that you are just left to roam at your own will... I'm not sure yet.. I would still have to catch 3 trains there and 3 trains back /:

Even from two until five there'll still be undergrads and professors there to talk with. I'm certain that they'll be chanting your name in despondency and chagrin. *booooooarrrrdmaaan* (wails).
Whatever happens, ill send you a souvenir. :colonhash:

I'll see if I can find you a cheap train journey.

Cheapest return was £60. It isn't so bad seeing petrol would cost £40-45 to Cam. :/

LOL same :tongue: I said "I'm getting used to it" but I just browsed through it again and now I realise I have very little idea of how it actually works :frown: Still, we should hopefully learn a lot from it :smile:
Same here :biggrin: Still, I'm sure we'll pick it up soon enough.

Are you watching the Queen's final? :eek:
That seems ok! Anyway, talk later! 9ish.. I'm at work :smile:
