UK Relocation
Milton Keynes is a bit out of the way to get to Kingston-Upon-Thames, driving would take 1 hr 20mins (on a good day) and you would have to go around the M25 and a few A roads which can get heavily congested at times. You could look at places just outside of the M25 such as Slough, and Cities located in Surrey (the county) - guildford is a lovely place too!. Driving from such places may take 40 minutes but it IS along one road - not sure about the commute (by public transport) but roughly the same time, if not quicker. However that being said, Areas surronding London have Rental prices of £1,200/month, while in Milton Keynes have it around £800/month. Or you can suck up £1800/month and live in Kingston :P At the end of the day you will just have to find a place to rent that yu are comfortable - just understand that you do not have to live in London to commute quickly/effectively to work. Something tells me Phaper Plane likes Milton Keynes.

UK Relocation
1. What are a few samples of common dinner assortments in the UK? What type of foods are most often consumed where you live? You can find loads of restaurants in london - Most boroughs will have a full range. 2. What is the average cost of a flat/apartment to rent a month/week/day? £200-£400 a weekly? You will have to look obviously. 3. What are some things that stereotypical Americans should be aware of (item names, slang, etc) that are different from the United States? Erm... Squid/Quid = £, 4. What are some good television shows? Top Gear, Embarrasing bodies, East Enders (woo), Misfits, just read the TV guide and pick your fancy - we get alot of american shows too. 5. What are the best internet options? In terms of consistancy, BT does a decent job - it rarely drops out if you live in London. BT are installing new fibre-optic links. But you can call up Sky and Virgin for equally competitive internet. I'd go for BT though 6. How expensive is it to travel on a daily basis? Oyster Cards = Discounted Travel (IN LONDON) - Travelling to other cities its about £22 for a one-way ticket. Average Journey on the Tube costs around £2 with oyster, Buses are also £2 (without oyster card). The more travelling you do, the "less" you pay overall. As in if the journey were to cost £10(5 individual journeys), it will cost £5 (the price of a day-travelcard). 7. Reccomended sectors of London/surrounding areas to live? Try be as close to the Centre of London as you can comfortably afford - I live roughly 1-hour by Tube and its pretty handy being so close (if I need to go to central london) I left out the places to live in london: Blue is the Central London, the red parts are the places are a bit :s Hackney does has great bagels though... 8. How large are flats? Depends how much you want to pay. You can pay up to £1,000,000 to get a 4-bed flat on top of Baker Street Station, if you are that desperate. 9. Is there Mountain Dew in London? Not as far as I am aware - you can probably find it in import shops 10. Any suggestions/comments/input/advice from yourself. Avoid East/South London (sorry guys), be close to stations with Piccidily/Central/District lines (or atleast not a far journey on a line to such line). Thats all there is to it.

A new Email Scam?
Wasn't it you who said: sourceSame scam, different style, people will still fall for it nonetheless. And you have such faith in most Runescapers clearly.

A new Email Scam?
I recieved an Email from "Runescape" - about 5 minutes ago, I figured it was just letting me know that my membership had expired but I found this: [hide=Email Body] [/hide] I avoided the link (ofc) and I went onto the real runescape website and went onto account management to see what I can find around there. No in-game messages/e.t.c ...Hovering over the URL shows "runescapeintro.oo-runescape.in(e.t.c...the legit stuff)" I wonder which account I was trying to sell... :roll: Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Deadliest Catch for some handy bankspots! :P And Wieldable nets, one of my favourite rewards. But, Nomads, Voids, Curses, RFD, Fairy Tale Quests all very very useful to do.
