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.

Some people just can’t hang in the heat. I’m into it. But I’m Puerto Rican

I'm from Jackson, MS. Not a lot of triple digit weather coming up there and rarely below freezing, but when it's hot it feels like you're walking through hot soup thanks to the humidity.
I lived in Minneapolis for 10 years and for a significant part of the year it's below freezing. Miserable as the weather is there, I think I'd take that over Mississippi.
Denver is pretty great but this is shaping up to be a really hot summer. 95 degrees and up indeed does suck even in this dry climate. I'm grateful it's not humid here or it'd be nigh unbearable.

I am so flipping British…I can't handle the heat if I'm working or have stuff to do. If I'm not working, then not so bad. That said, I spend my time moaning about how I can't stand the hot, dry weather...last Friday I felt a few spots of rain and said to myself 'oh for fuck's sake'.
I am one of those that prefer dry heat to humidity. The dry heat of an NYC summer is better than the humidity of Singapore's monsoon season and I've done both. It's better by the coast too. There is usually a breeze.
What I don't get though is these little pricks that wear their shorts, with a black hoodie on with the hood up...bad man dem

@Stuart.T you're just growling because you can't wear the sexy Wabash in this weather
