Well it's technically possible for me to fetch you in Dieppe -- but at about 2h30 worth of travel, it's pretty much the Eurostar distance between London and Paris ;)
I'm just surprised you can't find a Eurostar trip. I just went to their website, tried a London-Paris for today and for this Thursday, and it came up with tons of results -- notably a few at 100£. It's not cheap because it's soon, but it's doable. The return trip is at 75 to 90£ on a Sunday or Monday for instance.
I tried an outbound trip on Sunday night, found a 65£ one, but as you know next week I'll be very busy IRL so it'll be harder to organize anything.

Everyone deals with situations and problems differently, but most certainly always best to do it with friends :)

Really good friends can get you through most things - intact.

Best of luck Arantor.

In Paris, there are only two interesting places to visit: le Louvre, and my room office.

Well, I actually don't drive, so getting to France is reliant on where I can go via public transport. Getting to Newhaven is easy enough, Dover is a lot tougher.

The thing is, I don't want to be a burden on people, so I would feel incredibly awkward about asking anyone to take a couple of hours out of their day just to come get me.

London / Paris when I looked last night, the earliest I could do was the second week of July. Now when I look, I can get out there pretty much any day in the next week or so, what's up with that?!

Go. That's what's up with that.

People rarely make an offer unless they want to, for one reason or another.
Clearly, you've got a friend who cares about you.

Clear your mind. Evaluate your priorities in life.

As I said, I'll be too busy from Monday or so (and I'd LOVE to escape what's coming to me, not at liberty to discuss it in public), but I'm ready to welcome you anytime this week. Even tomorrow morning if you want... There's a spare room etc. But don't expect me to take you to bara and have fun and everything because I'm as boring a bloke as can be made :^^;:

Pete -- I noticed you no longer had any membergroup attached to yourself... Was it a voluntary move on your side? I reset the groups just in case.

It happened right after this post:

:edit: Nao: (snip)

So I think it is indeed voluntary...

It's happening again... Could you confirm this is of your own choice..?!

I split the other topic to the private boards.

Pete -- I have a message for you over there.

Pete...

The open invitation's still open.

If I HAVE to get you from the station, it'll take me... oh... ages. All of five minutes, if that.

It's not as groovy as parts of France. But, it's kinda laid-back and mellow.

Hassle? Meh. That's what friends are for, innit, you ol' scrubber? ;)

Eh! Saw you, Pete!

Ooh... Don't have time to stalk you, actually. I just realized Wuthering is broken in plenty of areas... And my girlfriend is calling me to watch some dud. What should I do?!

Watch the dud then fix a theme or sleep or whatever it is you want to after a bad movie :)
Thank you,
