The loneliness of the long distance gamer
  • I really like the idea of taking a sleeper coach from Scotland to London and awaking after a decent kip to the early morning streets of London as the bus gets to it's destination.

    It's almost romantic.
  • It's not too shabby to be honest, but truth be told it probably sounds better than it actually is.

    Oh, I'm sure I'd be bored by it if I actually did it.

    But if you have to travel such a long distance then it seems like a reasonable way to do it.
  • There are certainly much worse ways of doing it. Plus, it's cheap as chips.

  • Best of luck with the cameras g.man.

    Although I shall probably end up watching the game and thinking of you everytime the camera switches!

  • Cheers Aaron.
    On my own tonight, which is no bad thing, because I've got a lot of thinking and planning to do in me head tonight for tomorrow. We got a fair bit done today, but a lot of it was planning and organising for what we need to achieve tomorrow.
    In the pub now for some food and a jar or two, then an early night beckons.

    tomorrow will be taxing

  • Have a Guinness for me... I'm working away on my portfolio right now. Might have a beer after dinner. Brekle's Brown Ale – never heard of it, but it might be nice. 
  • Sweet. Nice to see you over here mate!

    cheers

  • Cheers! I had pretty much given up on blurum. 

    Feels homely here!
  • Indeed it does. It has that feeling you get once in a blue moon when you go into a house you've never been in before but for reasons you can't quite put your finger on it feels like home

    Ha! Yes we may be friends, I'll start. It's 10:45 and I'm still in bed despite having about 55 hours of marking to do. You?

    Not wearing anything, about to get up and do a plank for 5 minutes, then shower, black coffee and a mountain of work. Sky trains, amazing. I don't remember the last time I was on a train.

  • The ironic thing is, the skytrain I was on is 90% underground. Until it arises and goes over the pacific ocean. IT'S THE FUTURE!

    We don't have the future here, just the present and the past. I am now going back in time to shower 20 minutes before I get out of bed, then coffee then work.

    Not sure about espresso availability in the Paleolithic era.  An ex of mine pronounced it 'expresso'.  IT'S ESPRESSO FFS

  • Ah, the expresso/espresso thing.

    I forgot that g.man started this thread saying it was for all of us.  I endorse the the first post.

    Posting on the bus while still asleep. Yay. Also, my phone appears to have gone mental.
  • Posting while asleep?

    Also, g.man, what's this sleeper bus thing like?  I can't imagine it.
  • It's a re-fitted bendy-bus. 24 berths and 24 seats. Everyone gets a seat and a berth. Berths are three high from roof to ceiling. Not a lot of space, but adequate. Berths have mattresses, duvets and pillows. Also lights and sockets for mobiles and laptops.
    It's hardly luxurious, but it's a perfectly reasonable way to travel from Glasgow to London. They're expanding the service to to add Edinburgh to London as well.

    s'alright

  • That's incredible.  I kept thinking it'd be like those seats you got to sleep in on a ferry, so just a bunch of reclining seats rather than a proper bed.  

    Heck, I slept in smaller for 4 months in Afghanistan, I reckon I could manage that.

Howdy, Stranger!
