Matt's trip to the Cisco assessment centre - The RailAir coach

Haha spacious and new it says on the website. It's not the worst coach I've ever been on, and coaches are generally quite funny because of all the stupid noises they make and they go around towns and stuff so you see more - but this one is just.. average.
Not spacious at all really but whatever, it cost £14 and gets me to terminal 5. And it's not yet making many amusing noises either.

Anyway the funny bit about this is when I booked it, I wanted to keep the ticket completely electronic, so no paper is wasted. I wish more companies did this, so wanted to try it. Trouble is, I didn't really think this through, and a minute before the bus arrived I connected to the station WiFi, got the email up and wrote the reference number on my hand.

I was then told to see a lady who was supposed to sign my ticket, which was.. my hand... so she said it would be ok. So I present my hand to the driver who gives me a furious lecture in 'anyone could quote that reference number and your name'.... so I just got on the bus anyway and now I'm on the way to Heathrow.
This brings me to another point. Why do people have this urge to eat on transport. I don't really care that they're doing it, I mean, sure, if you're hungry, eat - but I've noticed loads of people 'need' food as soon as they're on a train, bus, plane, etc..... Is it because they're bored? I mean, on a train a sandwich costs about the same as a family car or a small plot of land in the real world, I just don't see the sense in it. I guess it's quite efficient, use the time on the train to feed yourself. But I maintain most of it is balls. Do what we did on the way to Prague and feed yourself on a bottle of rum. That way, you provide far more amusement (annoyance) to your friends (adjacent passengers) on the plane.

Not really much else to write on the bus so I'm gonna read some stuff on ISDN call setups and try to make sense of some diagrams. That will be my downfall... That and I don't have a clue on what I'm gonna do when I get there... We will see.
