    Yeah, that's really convenient for me

      It is. I'm betting tube to Luton, flights to Scotland and train to St. Andrews is less than the train to, say, Bristol or Paris.

        There is a saying up here, "the longest distance between any two points is always through St Andrews".

        But that could just be because we've got a bad maths department

        edit: Seriously though, anybody's welcome to come up and visit. Relieve my ennui... NOW!

          I'm in Stuttgart this year, which makes it far more difficult. And I have absolutely no idea of whether I'll have a vacation after March, since I absolutely don't know where I'll work once I'm done with my studies (hopefully in March)

            Ahhh, okies. Speaking of which, I might be in Stuttgart at some point, because one of my friends, who's from there, is setting up a company and has asked me to be a director. There's some conference there he wants me to go to with him

              I have some room at home, and I'd be happy to host you if you need (although the comfort will be far inferior as to what you had in Paris )

                London would be easier for me pre-15th of January. After the 15th, London and Oxford are both equally awkward, but possible, depending on general laziness of self.

                  IW: London's far easier for Cambridge. Cambridge to Oxford is a nasty journey, 4 hours on the 'direct' bus, or in and out of London on the train.

                    It's a longer journey to Oxford, but it's not difficult. And its compensated for because I could stop in at some friends while I'm there.

                        Not really surprising now

                              OK, so who is up for a poly meet at some point in the new year? No venue set, but I suggest London, oddly enough For the better of personal hygiene you can even stop at my place if you are not local. So are we decided on London, Shakespeare's Head then? Now pick a time and date!
                              Theoretically, yes.

                              London seems a sensible idea to me. It's a frightening enough prospect just meeting people for he first time, doing so in a strange city would be enough to hospitalise me with some kind of nervous disorder before I had even got on the train.

                              Besides, part of me misses the South.

                                I vote London too, providing I get to exact revenge on that bloke who forced me to clear up the glass
