Thank you for clarifying.
The free Security Guard Sounds quite Nice, the Pipline thing not so much, but i guess this is something no one notices anymore today.
I read a lot of people here fly in Via London and take the Train and then the Ferry to Gosport, wouldnt it be faster to go via Southhampton Airport and then take a Rental, or is there stepping Stone I overlooked ?

Nope, if you can fly into Southampton, that's really convenient. Trouble is, if your plane home gets cancelled, there are not a lot of alternatives. Happened to me once flying back from Amsterdam. I had to overnight in a (shithole of an) hotel, if I had been flying into Heathrow or Gatwick, there would most likely been plenty of alternative flights home….
-
Gatwick>train>ferry is quite convenient, too. Only brief walks at each transition, and IHUK is also only a brief walk from the ferry pier. Though if you get tired, there are a few pubs along the way to renew your energy.

Bear in mind that you have to get a train from Southampton Airport into Southampton, then change and catch the really slow train down to Portsmouth Harbour. The online timetable reckons most will take about 1:20, with the odd faster option around 55 minutes.
Getting from Gatwick to Portsmouth takes about 1:40, so not much slower.
@Steffen, I do miss the convenient public transport systems in Europe. Outside of Melbourne, I don't think the Australians get it, though it's not as bad as LA.
I was surprised by the price of the apartment in Frankfurt, but I understand the city's got a nasty infestation of bankers, so it's understandable!

It is really convinient indeed @Graeme but still the Politics want to one up it and basicly try and make it without blind spots all over Germany, lets see how that works out
Thank you @Giles I did Frankfurt Amsterdam Southhampton once when my now Ex Girlfriend studied there and was A blown away by how fast youre from the Plain on UK Ground and B by how dead cheap Rentals are compared to Heathrow. The Point you made that this can easily go really wrong like in your case is of course Right, I have to carefully Check for Alternatives if I plan on doing it this way, Schiphol is an Odd Part of Amsterdam to get Stuck if you dont have a Hoovercraft on Hand

Some moron was walking a stroller full of children right down the middle of the street by my house while gabbing on the phone. I mean not trying to stay out of the way of traffic even a little.
We have sidewalks and people absolutely fly down that street. I don't understand what she was thinking.
Also, I'm over the heat wave.

Yep I am completely over the heat the U.K. is having!

Doesn't matter where you are, when the temperature breaks 100F/40C, it's unpleasant. And I don't want to hear any of that "oh, but if the humidity is low, it's not that bad" crap. An oven has low humidity, too.
