ExcelsioN Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Really? What kind of a fine? The Congestion Charge. It only affects central London (not where I live, yet). I can't remember how much it is, I think about £2-£5. Before it was introduced the traffic in London was almost unbearable.

IG-64 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 Hmm, I hope we won't be passing the pay line often.
leXX Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 The charge is £5, but I wouldn't advice driving in central London anyway, parking is extremely hard to find and the car parks charge way too much. Use London Underground, much faster and cheaper.
Darth Rythe Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 London Underground? like Need for speed underground?
ExcelsioN Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Rythe London Underground? like Need for speed underground? It's underground trains. You have to wait like 20 minutes for one though.
Crow_Nest Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Originally posted by Excelsion It's underground trains. You have to wait like 20 minutes for one though. Really?! 20 mins?? I'll fall asleep while waiting for the train.
IG-64 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Posted January 7, 2004 I've never been on a train, I was in a subway once, i've never been on a plane, I may have been on a boat before and not remembered, i've been in a canoe once, thats about it, I got on a bus once but i don't remember any other times i've been on a bus. I've been in a car once, nah J/K I've seen too many car trips
BawBag™ Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 i've never been on a plane A bit daunting at first to be sure. Just be prepared for the in flight boredom (as we all know you are subject to ). There will probably be a personal screen in the back of the seats so you can watch movies etc. but take a book/magazine/gameboy or something just in case. Taking off and landing is the nuts though!

I'm gonna bring some headphones
BawBag™ Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 I'm gonna bring some headphones Attached to CD player obviously? But seriously, take "things" to keep your mind active. Either that or you can get boozed up.
Surfnshannon Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Bring snacks - nowadays the damn flights are so broke they hardly feed you anything. I'm talking practically nothing. That's the one thing I was unhappy with. But that magazine that's in the planes is a great read - the one that sells stuff at obscene prices!

ExcelsioN Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Your ears go really wierd on take-off and on landing. The same as they do when your on a fast underground train. When I went to Rome my ears still felt the same a day after we had landed. And BA sucks because they never have any entertainment.
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Alternatively, to pass the hours you could combine BB's idea: Originally posted by BawBag™ Either that or you can get boozed up. with STTCT's idea: Originally posted by STTCT that magazine that's in the planes is a great read - the one that sells stuff at obscene prices! and bring Booze and obscene magazines Although I daresay the flight attendants would have something to say about it. Oh, and yeah - as you now know - the congestion charge only applies if you're driving into Central London. It's to get people to use public transport, so it's not like an olde-worlde toll-bridge where you have to pay a groat when you want to walk past or anything. B.

It's the decrease in aptmospheric pressure acquired by the shift in the altitude from the periphery of earth's terrestrial sphere. Got it?

Maybe not on small air-bus flights or the like, but certainly on the long-haul flights. Originally posted by •-BLaCKouT-• and bring Booze and obscene magazines Amen!
