my college teacher told me about this service when i told him about virgin prices from euston. i didnt get what he was saying though and forgot the rail company.

the really cheap though. really really cheap and for me it will probably take as long by tube to get to euston then it would to get to marylebone station.

i can rememeber him tellin me it does take longer when using that service though? but then again not like virgin are ever on time with delays left, right an centre.

well virgin are usually efficient i find its just that as they are the maion provider for that service when they do cock up the effects can be huge. The virgin service is faster and if you can get it i recommend booking in advance and getting really cheap first class - all the food and drink you can eat, sorted me out after exec training yesterday lol

oh yeah back to snow hill marylebone If you have a student rail card they did do a deal where students get the £15 tickets for £10 but you'll have to ask them [chiltern] about that and what you need.

Aww!

First question: I think so, it's your room
Second: You're allowed overnight guests but only for up to two consecutive nights or something

Third, I guess just try and get used to Birmingham, have a walk around, take a flatmate with you or something!

Aww Queenah sorry bout that. In that case, for international fresher's on here (ones moving in this week), any problems with meeting tuesday night in Einsteins. Shall we say 8:00? That way you can all meet have a good chat and stuff. It also gives me an excuse to drink there again (don't want to seem like an alcoholic).
