Stuck on a train…. FUN?

So it was a trip down to Bristol today.  Five hours.  That’s how long the journey takes from Newcastle to Bristol.  Not 2 hours or even 3 hours…. its take Five. 1, 2, 3, 4, FIVE.  I know this due to the five dull and torturous hours I spent on a train…. to Bristol.  Why so dull.  NO WiFi.  They should stick big sticker on the side of trains letting you know who has WiFi and who doesn’t, I would have got on another train if I had known before hand.  I may have even binned the whole thing off flown down.

And what did I have to look forward to once I got into Bristol after a torturous trip.  My Hotel room.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

Bluetooth

I would love to say that I had a massively interesting day today; but with it being the last day of of the month it was all about working my ass off to try and hit target and earn me some bonus.  I didn’t get hit the benchmark.  🙁

So the only thing I have to say today is, why the hell do people still think it’s OK to leave there bluetooth head set on when they are indoors?  Do they actually think that it makes them look cool?

International cuisine and cultural entertainment

International cuisine and cultural entertainment was on the cards for me and my girl this evening.  As is normally when you have your ideal night planned out… it didn’t go to plan.

Our mission to obtain pan-asian cuisine went pear shaped due to time restrictions and we ended up in Burger King.

Our little bit of culture for the evening was at the Newcastle Theatre Royal and the play “The Woman in Black”.

I have to say the visual ambiance on the show was excellent.  The play is set on the stage within a stage. The storey of an man trying to find the courage to share his storey of what happened many years before when sent to a remote village to oversee the affairs of the late Alice Drablow.

The play has been running since 1989 and has had well over 5000 performances in London.  This was the first time that I have been to a Horror on the stage and although its no Horror movie I didn’t do a “little” jump in my seat.  Highly recommended.

Mark Wharton – Mind Games

No its not some guy called Mark telling you all about messing with peoples heads.

This was taken while I was out with the Newcastle Photo Walk (#NPWALK) aka the “Newcastle Novice Digital Photography Community Club”

It was taken in the underground car park at St James Park.  A collection of fan paid for tiles located next to the players entrance.

Not sure why anyone would want to pay for such a thing and I understand even less as to why you would want “Mind Games” put on your tile.
