Don't be retarded... more so than you already are I mean.
It was a friendly invite which has nothing to do with your gay fantasies.
Obviously you are not a man in any way shape or form since you dont't have the balls to face me.

Good thing you have the internet, that way you can hide :)

It's not that I don't have the balls to face you, it's that you're asking me to travel to the other side of the country to meet you. You any idea how hard/expensive it is to get to London from Manchester without a car?

Oyster cards can only be used in London, what part of "other side of the country" are you struggling with. Let me be perfectly clear, Manchester is absolutely other side of the country, as in, nowhere the fuck near London.
An Oyster Card is for London's LOCAL transport.

Actuaally, it's around 200...

EDIT: In fact, if it's the same now as it was three years ago (although train fares have increased lately) then it's even more expensive.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6442947.stm
To get to Manchester from London early, the only throughout return fare is the open return at £219. The train's first stop is Stoke-on-Trent so you can't split it into short sections.

Instead, buy an open return to Stoke-on-Trent (£182) then a saver return Stoke to Manchester (£12.30). Total £194.30, saving £24.70.

This works because the cheap saver return from Stoke is valid on any train, any day - and for the homeward journey this is no problem as all bar one train a day calls at Stoke-on-Trent.
And that was three years ago. As I said, prices are even higher now.

No worries though, Snake's a rich man, if he wants to visit me I'm sure money is of no problem for him :drunk:

Yes I can read. But what use is "Man-Lon 01/06 21:15 £11" << this to me? What Stations are these exactly? What offer are these tickets? Is that both ways?

You linked me to the homepage of a website, claiming it offered Man-Lon tickets at £11. When I searched for the travel myself, what I got, was prices in the range of £130-£199.50

Enjoy.

Uk trains are fucking stupid. It's actually cheaper for me to fly back and forth from Sweden to London than one ticket from Manchester to London is.

How lol.

Wow, the cheapest is £55.50. Incredible! when we examine this closely, we can see that it is more than £11!! By jove!

Now, for anybody outside of Britain wandering if this is a lot of money to go travel halfway across the country to go meet a homosxual with a unibrow, here are some fun exchange rates!

American Dollar: $80
Euro: 64.75
Canadian Dollar: $83
Swedish Krona: 619.980 SEK (wow, pounds take you a long way in Sweden!)

So yes, Gimp Mask, the cheapest ONE-WAY ticket from Manchester to London, for the 1st June 2010, and 21:15 is £55.50. This is assuming I don't get a hotel room when I'm there, (travelling both ways in the same day takes a LOT of time), and also assuming I don't go and get a return ticket.

I imagine that's the Swedish air companies lowering their prices to try and get visitors from real countries. I can't imagine Helsingborg is a hotbed of global activity...
