I got an email from Eurostar today:


2 TICKETS FROM £90 RETURN*
Take someone special to Paris, Lille or Brussels and beyond

..............................................................................

GET READY TO CLICK QUICK
We think you deserve a spot of spring sunshine - so here's a heads up: all next week The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph are offering 2 Eurostar tickets from just £90 return*. To get your hands on our best seats, start training today.

Simply grab one password a day until you have four. Grab the first password in this Saturday's Daily Telegraph on 10th March 2007, the second in The Sunday Telegraph on 11th March 2007 and so on. If you don't get the first four, don't worry, there's a new password every day until Monday 19th March 2007. Once you have collected four passwords, use your fast finger to click as fast as you can.

Here comes the small print. To book, enter your passwords between 13th March 2007 and 13th April 2007. But you can actually travel anytime between 27th March 2007 and 30th June 2007 inclusive. That's your spring getaway sorted then.


That's even cheaper than last time. The terms and conditions weren't too onerous - I didn't book right away and I still got our first choice of destination on the days we wanted for £50 each.

I probably can't use it this time, but I'm going to collect them anyway on the off chance that I can find time for a weekend in Belgium, or alternatively send my parents to the Continent for a few days. Plus, the zoo can always use more newspaper to crap on or chew up.

The only down side is, of course, having to buy the Telegraph.

Heh, it's funny how it's always the right wing xenophobic papers that give away free daytrips to France in an attempt to boost circulation...

Well their content certainly isn't going to get me.

Hell, I don't even read if after I've cut the coupon out. I thought I could get something out of just about any paper's book and arts reviews, but I was so wrong. The gerbils are shredding it.

I think Pete gets the Torygraph at work. I've sent him the details in the hope that he can get tickets for us :) Thanks for sharing the details!

If you want, I can give you the passwords when I've got them all. They just ask you for them on the phone, so it doesn't matter if I share mine.
