I love my flat but it being ground floor with the bedroom being on the roadside means I can't have my window open overnight. And in this heat...sigh.

Sorry bro, totally forgot! My bad.
London Midland ain't much better. Half hour later, no seats, no air con. It was fucking horrendous.
So, earlier this year I wrote this in a topic about Jury Duty.
...and now it appears that I may have to live up to that...:
I guess it's just random selection at work, but twice in the space of four years is a little surprising.

"At this rate, tuition fees could be over £10,000 within the next four years."
That's rough.

Same thing happened to my Dad a while back. He had 3 summons in the space of about 5 years.

So I realised I hadn't actually commented in this thread before, time to rectify that.

I just moved out of Reading.
You're an archaeology student? My friend Greg graduated from Reading uni doing that course last year

Museum Studies and Archaeology specifically. I stayed local due to my autism and figuring it'd be easier to cope that way, but it also worked out since I've had a thing for history since I was a child and well, Reading is one of the better universities for that stuff. Still, nice to discover those little connections.
You a born resident of the town yourself, or came here and then left again?
From nearby - Crowthorne. I just moved out of Reading to Blackwater which is nearby. Are you born and raised?

Yep. Family's scattered in and around the county; Dad works in Bracknell, I've got cousins in Newbury, and grandparents in Chieveley. Went to English Martyrs and Blessed Hugh Faringdon, if you know either of those schools.

Well fortunately 3M moved their headquarters some years ago, so he doesn't have to go into the town proper anymore.

I went to Trocadero yesterday (that ~gallery in Piccadilly, central London), what the fuck did they do to it? Where are the anime merchandising shops now? There is a fucking horrible gift shop with that horrendous loud music and cheap products instead =(.
sounds like anime to me
Even the Starbucks is gone now, it's crazy how badly they've mismanaged that place. And that Starbucks was reliably packed, so it can only be rent insanity that has backfired.
That's a pretty dismal, rat infested shithole too to be honest. But at least it's there.
I'm finding it hard to disagree with you, considering how all the games are slowly getting phased out for more fruit machines. The beer's a joke too.
Still, like you say, it's there.
Really, where abouts?

Started watching Stranger Things. Interesting so far (only 2 episodes in), hoping in holds up for the rest of the season. Seems to have awesome reviews overall.

Been tempted to try this as well. U recommend it so far
Yeah, I follow them on Facebook. Looking forward to checking them out when they open. Its unlimited gaming all day for something like a tenner if I remember rightly. Sounds like a day well spent.

Yeah I'm intrigued as to where it's going next for sure.
Also tonight finally got around to watching Archer. The first half of season 1. Loving it so far. Archer is an incredible assshole and all the characters are funny. The DVD extra has the pilot episode where Archer is replaced by a velociraptor. It's amazing.

GWR routes cover much of the south and south west of the UK - our rail network is heavily regionalised, with a major company covering each region. But, GWR is what covers your intended route - Bath Spa to Cardiff Central - so just grab an off peak return if you think that'll fit your hours, or an anytime if you want flexibility (basically peak hours are when operators expect to be busy due to commuters). Having just checked on the National Website you're looking at around £20 for the trip.

Thanks. That's what it looked like when I did my search.

I'm about 5 eps in and I'm enjoying it also. Equal parts creepy, interesting premise, characters. Also loving the nostalgia factor of it being set in the 80s too.
I've finished six and I'm enjoying it to bits.

I just finished 4 so I'm halfway through. Loving it.
There's a Stranger Things themed clubnight here in Bristol next month. I really want to go but it's a Wednesday night. Why can't it be a Friday or Saturday!? Grrrrr...

I got back from a weeks holiday abroad last week and got out of the loop of all this Brexit bollocks, and now I've only heard about it the last few days I started watching the news again but it's pissing me off hearing all about it, and the same old squabbles of may or may not actually happen and BS media articles about it all.
I wish I was back on holiday.

Best tune on 6 Music this week:

Just gorgeous. Reminds me so much of Stem/Long Stem by DJ Shadow.
