Cute and amusing

(thanks ali)

So the trip has been and gone (I was planning on writing all this on the train home, but alas athough I could pick up the GNER network, it was not connected to the internet).

It was a very short trip, traveling on Saturday, one day in the city then traveling back on Monday. But it was short and sweet. I guess we did the usual, eating out, the castle and even a little open top bus trip. I really don’t like doing touristy things, all that shuffling around and big groups of wandering people. Oh well. A good trip, and a nice little break.

Enjoy the pics

We are off on our jolly way to Edinburgh this morning. And i am writing and posting this on the train. Isn’t technology marvelous. Not even using a mobile phone to sms or email this post. Actually surfing the web with the onboard wireless. It is a bit flaky and I think my dreams of playing wow for 4 hours is out the window, but it would be rude to not even try. They claim to have interuption free access.

We shall see, I am getting about 40k download speeds, so not too bad.

Have fun.

enjoy

i prefer the reaction to the non physical stuff

Things are looking pretty impressive with Papervision (Flash 3D engine)

Recreate great saturday night Noel Edmunds style fun. In your bath.

Mobiles phones are great, we use them everyday to keep in touch, we are bombarded with ads constantly trying to either get us to switch networks or stay with our current network. Phones continuously change yet fail to provide any major upgrade that is any use. Using a phone as a music device is a great idea, being able to plug your headphones in and listen to the radio, or a few mp3s on your trip to and from work.

However the last couple of phone generations allow you to play sounds through an internal speaker. And on about 8 out of ten bus trips I make there is someone who thinks that I and the rest of the bus want to listen to their music. A few issues, the first being the quality is absolutely appauling and makes the bad music sound even worse, the second being BUY SOME HEADPHONES. It really gets on my tits. This morning at 8.20 I had to endure hearing about shorties and their pussies, guns and niggers. The quality of the rapping was very diy, perhaps it’s the persons own work and they are hoping that a hip hop record exec will scout them out. It’s not the genre of music I have problems with, I can appreaciate all types of music (though I don’t have too much respect for the churned out rap that constantly name drops, or talks about shorties and their pussies, guns and niggers…. oh and weed, thats always a popular topic to “spit” about)

It’s not just boys either, the girls do their fair share of playing Beyonce and warbeling along to it.

It a matter of respect for your fellow passengers, and it’s taking advantage of the fact that “we look like mean and angry fuckers”. If I was a mean bastard and built like a shithouse I would happily approach them and threaten to chuck the phone out of the window. Or bring along some real speakers and blast them with some Broadway tunes for my listening pleasure. It would only take one person, the rest of the bus would agree. But I’m not a confrontational person, so I just sit their fuming, unable to enjoy my book.

It’s plain rude and an act of disrespect, maybe even aggression? If I sat there swearing, that would be considered aggressive, as I would only be doing it to see if someone would confront me about it and then kick off when they do.

Grrr.

I like the popcorn shot amongst others.
