I don't know. What usually happens here is we do that; then you're fine for about a day maybe; then you piss everyone off by starting lots of threads about the same thing over and what-have-you. I have this big deja-vu feeling about it all. Probably the other thing we do is have some sort of poll that settles nothing much.
What's wrong with hitching? I used to hitch the length and breadth of the country (even to an interview once!) into my thirties. Great way to travel & to meet profoundly weird people. You've got guaranteed booze through the evening, a place in the dog basket overnight and a hearty breakfast the following morning. Money is no excuse, as Jon has already proven.

I'm sure the scotch contingent would be happy to buy him a train ticket (as long as he agrees to leave the back fungus in a different carriage)
The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, and not by the buttocks. The sound varies depending on the tightness of the sphincter muscle and velocity of the gas being propelled, as well as other factors such as water and body fat. The auditory pitch (sound) of the flatulence outburst can also be affected by the anal embouchure.
do you see the offers here? free booze, bed, breakfast and even a train ticket, you really have no excuse not to go
and Steve is right, hitching works when money is short, I did Rome to Cornwall in about a day and a half once (helped massivly by an all night lift where the guy didn't mind me sleeping)
