Arriving at Stansted from Australia mid-May, need to get up to Newcastle.

Last time we came over, we went via Heathrow and caught the train up via GNR which was dirt cheap on advance purchase.

I can't seem to find cheap train fares from Stansted?? Anyone got any ideas on train travel OR other cut price transport North?

cheers, Chloe.

with luggage, and not using a car. i'm basically after train and bus options - with links to further easy to understand info.

i've received a punch in my temple (from the wiimote baseball bat in wii sports) and i'm about to get an ultrasound on my ankle for a possible torn achilles tendon from jogging in wiifit.

has anyone else been as unlucky as me?

was jogging on the spot with my wiifit - my heel at the bottom of my achilles tendon started hurting. it's now a week later and i can't put my foot flat on the floor. there is excruciating pain if i try and do this. i have to walk on the toes and ball of that foot - not stretching the achilles tendon. what have i done?

vmoto scooter - one year old 8,000k's. travelling about 70km/h loses power for a few seconds then 'cuts out' has done this three times in last two weeks. first two times started back up straight away. last time, wouldn't start.

it went in for a service about 250k's ago - no problems prior.

any ideas???

does anyone know of any online web support groups for pelvic instablility for someone who is NOT pregnant?

i've been coping with this for seven years, never been pregnant.

every help website seems to be for pregnant women that only suffer with this for a few months.

my sister is 19, has no job, hasn't signed on for the dole, has no savings, no car, no drivers license, owes her last flatmate $1,000 in back rent and hasn't really got anywhere to live cause she has no money.

her mum lives in another state.

she met a 23yo boy in february who earns great money and she is now one month pregnant to him. he works away so out of the three months she's known him, my sister has spent very little actual time with him. he is saving money to buy a house but i think still lives at home.

she is excited she's pregnant and is now thinking that it's now this boys full responsibility to look after her.

what can i do or say to make her realise that if she intends to be a mother, she needs to get her life sorted out IMMEDIATELY and not rely on everyone else to come to her rescue? she doesn't seem to think what she is doing is WRONG.

i'm extremely concerned about the child's welfare as she runs from most types of responsibility.

i'm on the pill to control period pains (it's not endometriosis - i've been checked for that).

problem is, i now have quite a bit of breakthrough bleeding. i bleed probably about 14 days (including period) out of a total of 28. it's not fun.

why is this happening? i have a short cycle of 24 days and the pill is forcing me onto a longer unnatural cycle. could this be the cause?

what about 'pensioners only' or 'over 50's' insurance companies?

my guinea pig has one blue eye and one brown. sometimes he doesn't appear to notice when i come to their hutch unless i make quite a bit of noise, but my other pig knows i'm coming from ages away. they are about three years old could the blue eye mean he is deaf in that ear? how could i check?

can you give me a list of your essentials. i always forget something!

we're in a brick and tile home and we've just removed the bathtub from our tiled bathroom.

the bath was tiled in and when pulled out, we discovered it was laying on sand and not the concrete slab as assumed. when we dug through the sand to find the slab, we just kept digging. the homes concrete slab doesn't look like it goes underneath the bath??? is this normal? or is the bathtub supposed to lay on top of the slab?

what could be causing this? the transmitter / receiver are about 15m apart. through two single brick walls. is it the distance or the fact that the signal needs to go through walls??? help please!

I've just made contact with an old school friend after losing contact with her for about 10 years.

she has admitted that she is suffering from bulimia and has been for the past 7 years and it is a huge life issue for her.

we are planning to meet up in May. Is there any kind of etiquette as to the way i should approach the issue of say, going out to lunch, or a coffee?

I don't want to make her uncomfortable. so what should I AVOID saying or doing?

i get indigestion / burning sensation most nights when i'm in bed *trying* to sleep.

it doesn't seem to matter what i eat or drink beforehand.

i get really thirsty during the night too but when i drink water this makes the burning in my oesophagus much, much worse.

does anyone know what this is and how i can prevent this?

i've just been given an xbox 360 game by accident for my original xbox. its the new simpsons game. will it work?

it's buffalo - but it's coming up with purplish type serrated tips on it. all website refer to purpling in buffalo only occuring in winter.

what type of buffalo is it?

i'm in perth, aust and it's summer.

i'm getting a motorbike license - i already have a manual license AND own a scooter. i've passed my motorbike theory, but my permit is provisional on getting a medical due to taking 50mg zoloft daily.

has anyone else had to do this? i'm in australia.

mine is the remake of willy wonka with johnny depp. it was truly appalling.

i'm in australia - and our Christmas weather is HOT. so no creamy or hot drinks please!
