I've just returned for a 3 day trip to Brussels and Brugge making the London to Brussels on Eurostar and then taking the local train to Brugge - tried out Christmas markets in both cities - wasn't impressed by either of them. Maybe I had my expectations set too high, not sure... but it wasn't...

I'd love to order a pizza one day using a bitcoin and I don't think that's very far off - as soon as the likes of PayPal will start accepting and recognizing it as currency, I think there could be a chance.

Fulham's got some great players - they should be comfortably in the mid table. Not sure why players didn't support Martin Jol - the chemistry just wasn't there I suppose.

£30k would sound reasonable - is tram easier to operate and drive than a standard double-decker bus?

I'd rather see it expanded to South East where the choice of transport for getting into central London is pretty bad. If South Eastern has leafs on the tracks then we're stuffed.

We had similar experience on our recent trip to Eurostar in Paris - we changed at Lille - the local train had no barriers and there was no ticket control on the train as well. They must do some random check though and the fines must be sky high as well to deter any one from taking a free ride.
