I wasnt ever realistically going to go to the brighton spt its too in the middle of studies and we tend to only do the manchester one. I thought if there was a london one I could just coach it there and back.
mind you in manchester our friends dog keeps getting excited in the wrong way to see me, and I feel uncomfortable round that dog. Its not that the dog appears gay I mean gay isnt my thing but you know nothing against that if a guy makes a pass at me I just politely reject well I have a girlfriend so I guess if anyone makes a pass at me I politely reject.
Just its kind of creepy when they are not of the same species.
anyway I think once you factor in a hotel it gets very expensive I am assuming sky pay for your hotel but it would normally cost over £200 a night? so £600 for the three days.
A lot of actuary jobs are based in Salford which apprently is near Manchester so maybe thats commutable if I get one of those jobs.
Yes, Sky pay my exs when I'm away on Company business & I appreciate that makes me a vey lucky boy indeed.
My hotel is "Hickstead Hotel", which is actually 12 miles north of Brighton, so I drive back & forth each day. The hotel is out in the countryside, has a fishing lake, herons, owls, all sorts & is beautifully peaceful. A nearby golf course or two too, but I'm not golfing this weekend. The drive to & from the Casino is lovely too, a few miles down the dual carriageway A23, along the dualled A27 until Brighton's "Amex Stadium" at Falmer, along the top of the South Downs, then cross over Brighton Racecourse & drive steeply downhill to the seafront & those magnificent Brighton cliffs. I get me a Costa coffee for the drive & it's just a lovely, peaceful half an hour, a rare chance for me to completely relax.
The room rate for my hotel is £130 per night including breakfast, so 4 x £130 = £520. (This is excluding any tip...). Quite reasonable, all things considered.
I treated myself to the Malmaison in the marina this year, stunning views and 100 yards from the casino. Breakfast choice even included 2 boiled eggs and soldiers
