GNER Web

I am currently on the train back home from a work visit to Newcastle.  Booked my tickets online for 2 singles and deiced to upgrade to 1st class for an extra £10.  This gives me free Internet while on the train, allowing access to OWA and Internet browsing.  Normally the charge for all day Internet is around £10.

Another benefit of the upgrade was breakfast this morning along with complementary drinks and comfty seats.

I will be trying to book my tickets in advance for midweek again as traveling by train is a lot less stressful.

I am now bored and have restored to testing the speed out of the wireless Internet.  Currently downloading a random file from znet at around 10kb/s.  Chancing my arm and started up utorrent 4kb/s down and 9kb/s up.  More than likely killing everyone else's Internet.

Now to kill some more time playing games...

Bad Movies

Recently I have seen a lot of bad movies at the cinema.  A quick rundown on the movies that you should avoid.

  1. Ghostrider - Nicholas Cage in a toupee, nothing more can be said.
  2. The Hills Have Eyes 2 - Trainee solders go into the hills on an arms delivery which goes wrong.  Rubbish
  3. Premonition - what a dull movie, so many flaws after viewing it.  Dull.
  4. I want candy - the clips you see on TV are as funny as this one gets.
  5. The number 23 - Jim Carey should just stick to his comedy roles, another snoozefest.

Only decent movie to come out recently has been 300.
