I've always found simply airports to be reliable - 42 pounds to gatwick from se22 - not sure about car seat though

Seemed to be the situation when I walked down LL about 5 mins ago too.

I've got 48 copies of the reluctant fundamentalist to give away...any suggestions of where/how?

Still shut and police outside at 10:50

but delay to denmark hill extension... http://londonreconnections.blogspot.com/2011/01/ell-extension-news-for-both-north-and.html

i want it!

Has anyone tried this (as host or guest), and if so what are your experiences?

My initial thought were that its dodgier than hitchiking but having taken a closer look I like the review system etc, and the ones where you can pay for a room, house, boat etc as an alternative to a hotel look like they have great potential if you're discerning about it, a bit less anonymous than a hotel

I've provisionally booked to stay for a weekend in Dublin in a lovely looking house at airbnb.com and I'd therefore be quite interested to hear any feedback from anyone who has tried a similar thing.

Yes its fantastic - but the trains with *s at 11pm+ on the LB to DH trains do not exist - as I found out to my cost last week

SD - if you happen to have a few spare hours, a DH to V/V to DH one would be very welcome! (tu)

And all this time i'd been thinking (for no apparent reason) jrussell was HonaloochieB.

Oh I see - it seems to work better the other way around...

From the fco website I read this:

Entry visas for Lebanon are issued free of charge at the airport on arrival however, there is a charge at the border posts if entering Lebanon by road. On a single entry visa a traveller is permitted to travel to Syria as long as the return to Lebanon is made within five days.

How was your day in Lebanon though?

This is really interesting and helpful, thank you.

I'm planning to go to Beirut and then travel overland into Syria (I read that you could do this without paying specifically for a visa for Syria, and Lebanon visas are free)

However I'm waiting for flights to get cheaper - saw one a few weeks ago for 149, now can't get one for less than 300 and feel like i've seriously missed out

you should write a book!

Thank you for this, as ever

The exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery are well worth seeing if you go that way too - and a swimming pool on the roof if you book in advance!

Saw it tonight and thought it was great- had everything and messes with your head delightfully too. And decent eye candy.Feel like i need to watch it again to properly take everything in though.

Arrive late for the train?

Seconded. I'm definitely in this 12% of people who can't see 3D properly - it makes me feel nausea and vertigo!

Another reason I'm excited about Inception

Always this. Especially the annoying ANY! ANY! ANY! bit

And the man with the windows shouting 'you buy one, you get one free. i said you buy one, you get one free.' UGH

(edit - I suppose this isn't really a jingle either though)

On a (slightly) less irritating note...if you like a lard of chocolate on your biscuit join our club

Does Istanbul count as a 'resort'? It is a great city - and you can travel out to the islands for some tranquil time.

I'm thinking about travelling in the eastern parts of Turkey - there are some amazing unexplored places I've been looking into - but again not exactly what you'd call resorts.

I went to Hisaranou (near Olu Deniz) a few years ago and I'd agree with what katie1997 said - underwhelming

Not these
