You’ll need an identity change and a fake passport but stick to boats - steer clear of airports. Blobcat is a liability and probably compromised so you know what you have to do there. Trust nobody - anyone could be Jeff Bezos or a google AI. ANYONE. Even you. Nobody can know where you go.
Your life will not be easy and you can never sleep soundly again but know that you’re not the first and certainly won’t be the last. Good luck, my friend.

Train tickets again. I just find buying train tickets, in fact everything to do with trains in the UK, unbelievably stressful. It's annoying to do, unnecessarily awkward, the trains tend to be late when I use them, it's all more expensive than it feels like it should be and I know that by doing so I'm making a small number of people very, very rich.
It irritates me so much.

Family changing plans more times than I can count and making things incredibly complicated.
Going from my mum insisting she visits me next as I have been up north to see her several times this year and she has only been down once in 2 years, wanting to bring my sister along which I thought was pretty good. After coming back from a trip abroad she now says its too expensive to visit by train (it is pretty bad) but now wants me to come up by train instead.
Before she insisted SHE visited I was planning to come up at some point in October, now I HAVE to come up in 2 weeks when they planned to visit me.
Oh and because my sister is now engaged we have to go everywhere my sister wants to visit, including a venue I mentioned months ago is now only on the radar because my sister is now interested. And whenever she has asked me of my plans its "why don't you just do what I'm doing?"
Seriously, Bridezilla is starting to brew inside before we have set anything in motion.

Currently it's just one big bum-train, with Richard Branson at the back.

Trains are the bain of my working life when I travel to meetings, I live in an area covered by Northern Rail which sums it up. Problem for me is getting to Manchester, once there it's a breeze compared to getting in/out of the place.
Apparently you can save a lot by buying separate tickets covering the journey which shouldn't actually be the case. Tickets can be vastly overpriced, I quite often fly rather than train on longer journeys (Scotland/SW) as it's cheaper for the business - and a lot quicker for me to boot.
