Accommodation

[Intel]

Does anyone know of any accomodation near Hurn.

I am looking for a 1 bedroom flat, or something close to this

Cheers

[halo]

I can recommend somewhere that isn't a flat if you like. I used to live at a place in Boscombe on Penrith Road. The lady who runs it is really cool and she always has loads of controllers staying there. All of the rooms are really nice and you can come and go as you please (she is very open minded as well). She also cooks meals as well (normally at 6pm) which is good, especially if you've had a hard day at the college and don't feel like fixing yourself something.
Her details are:
Ruth Roberts
8, Penrith Road,
Boscombe,
Bournemouth,
Dorset,
(01202) 301352

She must be open minded if she let you stay there halo!!!

[Gonzo]

God Yes!!!!!! ;) ;) ;)

For what it's worth, most SATCs seem to congregate in and around Boscombe.

Of course, those of us who were more sophisticated resided in Ferndown.... ;) ;)

If you do decide to stay around Boscombe don't go near Jazy B's! You will need a medical recourse!!!

Intel-

Are you starting at the college soon? January by any chance? If you are, drop me a line... I'm starting in January provided the medical went OK!

If you're not then just ignore this message http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/tongue.gif

Cheers, Jas.

Mmm. Boscombe. Truly the fragrant flower of Dorset.

If you're not in too much of a hurry to get a flat, you could stay in a guest house like the majority of your future colleagues until you've searched around a bit. Plenty of guest houses, and muchos cheapness. A lot of stude controllers seem to stay in the multitude of places on Westby Road in Boscombe. It has lots of local charm. Ahem.

And I agree, avoid Jazzy B's like the plague. In a very literal and medical sense.

[Goldfish Watcher]

Hey! Don't mock Jazy's

Thursday nights/Friday Mornings, staggering out of OH, Jazy B's for Kebab. Admit it, at least you don't mind throwing up something you ate from Jazy B's.

Seriously though, it's not a bad idea to at least start off in a B&B for a few weeks to find your way around. And since most CATC freshers start there, it's a good way of getting involved in the social scene.

Also, no point in taking out a 6 month lease on a place when you don't know how long you are going to be there ;) - After Highfield, we started at College on a Monday and someone had jacked it by Wednesday lunchtime (anyone remember Stig?).

One last point - don't bother trawling through the CATC accommodation list, it's woefully out of date.

Have fun.

[cleared2land 27left]

Yes it was me it went along the lines of:

afirm

My starter question for you was which part of the country do you come from?

[Goldfish Watcher]

A cold place where the men wear skirts?

Are you a descendant of the same place - but not with the accent?

[cleared2land 27left]

Correct

So that narrows it doon a tad.

Did you sit near the front, in the middle or at the back?

[Goldfish Watcher]

One row from the back

I take it you sat at the front and had a nickname that began with 'B'?

[This message has been edited by Goldfish Watcher (edited 10 November 2000).]

[Bright-Ling]

Does the nickname go in front of your surname to give a famous WW2 pilot!!?!?!?!

Let me in to your game you rascals.....please!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, this is turning into a gay chat page - sorry INTEL!!!

[Goldfish Watcher]

Der SimMeister, A clue to your Identity? Area Sims perhaps?

[PPRuNe Radar]

Pink carnation? there's a joke about Roland Rat in there somewhere!

[Der Sim-Meister]

GW - nope, well I am area-trained but never do it these days, normally to be found stitching up the relative newbies on Aerodrome! or approach :-)

[EarlyGo]

Sim Meister,

And to be found at Dean Park on a Saturday afternoon??

[Dunx]

Der Sim Meister,

Although it may seem like it some days, (especially during R1 Summatives and Pack and Gap), I think "newbie" is a bit harsh for your local friendly APR students!! :)

[cleared2land 27left]

Newbie, I remeber being one of those, S hit that was over 2 years ago. As they say time flies when your having fun (on someone elses licence!) But boy do i miss that eternal phrase "clocks off"

GW, does your email end in bunmail.com???

[form49]

G-W and C2land27L,

Too many clues have given you away, it would appear you know a Muppet!!!!

------------------
Turn left heading 230, close from the left, report established

[Goldfish Watcher]

C2L - yes

Form49, you might be right, I think I once tried to chat up miss Piggy in the Zoo and Cage

GW

[Der Sim-Meister]

Dunx
well i guess APR is past the newbie stage, especially for you military re-treads :-)
was referring more to ADC1 really.

As for Dean Park, well they stopped playing first-class cricket there in 1991!

How did i do that? Post twice at the same time????

[Gonzo]

Yah, we do get everywhere!

Not sure about your meeting Miss Piggy, though, maybe it was one too many nights in Bar Vin!!!!!!

Gonzo

[halo]

Christ Almighty its like Who's Who in here!! Major apologies for hijacking Intels thread on accomodation then. Well, I know all of you!!! And isn't the guy with the World War 2 Prefix name my housemate?? Should I be scared?? Should I run away screaming "This is all too familiar"?? Or should I do what I always do in times of crisis.... Dye my hair blonde and wear t-shirts with swear words on them *laughs*!!!!
Why don't we arrange for ALL of us to go for a beer together?? Surely that would be a good idea. Or maybe a curry?? Chinese?? Thai?? Fish And Chips?? Beefeater?? Harvester?? (We are allowed to advertise aren't we?? *laughs*). Or maybe you all want to come to the Bash on December the 1st. For those of you who know me I am taking the car and there are 3 places available!! Answers on a postcard please

[EarlyGo]

Halo,

Well you should know me, we were on the same course! :) If you fancy a scoop sometime, drop me a line.

EG

[cleared2land 27left]

[Goldfish Watcher]
