I'm working from the train up to Edinburgh

Ah, you have to love a job that can travel. I am somewhere outside of Newcastle, England on my way up from London to Edinburgh. My hubby got sent on a last minute biz trip up here and his company said I could tag along. So, I am going to work from the hotel by day and go out around Edinburgh after work. Nice

Eva and I have just got back from the UK. Just before we went we bought a small laptop to look after things while we were away. Awesome, Eva was able to access the Net practically everywhere we went. Never tried it on a train to Edinburgh though.

I love Newcastle Upon Tyne - one of my college buddies is a Professor there.

I also visited Edinburgh (Old Smokey aka Auld Reekie)...very fun city - lots of arts and culture.

Be sure to check out The Witchery, for good eats and drinks. During our visit, the band Manfred Mann's Earth Band, was doing a photo shoot there. Great food, great ambience and amazing history!

Beautiful city. Bugger of a train trip though, or used to be, 8 hours the last time I went up there from London.

It is only four and a bit hours now from Kings Cross to Waverly and it is mostly coastal so it is even pretty to look at.

What's your plans for Edinburgh? We're planning on going through for The Fringe for a comedy show, but not sure which one yet

Well, these first two days are at a country house hotel outside of the city. It is really close to the branch of the company that my husband is visiting. Then, tomorrow we are spending the night on the Royal Mile.

We actually had our honeymoon up here nearly a year ago so it is kind of nice to be back up here nearly for the anniversary. I am not sure if we are doing anything in particular other than just enjoying the city. We like the cheesy horror-themed bar called Frankenstein. So, I am sure we will end up there for a bit.

So, my question of the day is why when I was using the National Express rail's WiFi did google think I was in Sweden?

Where I work ( in my day job ) I have to weekly commute of 750 miles a week, on two trains. It's an absolute bitch. However Virgin trains are kinda cool as you have power outlets on board to plug a laptop into !

I was in there a few months ago. The location of the toilets really fucked with my head.

I noticed that they offer WIFI on the trains to and from Scotland when I visited last year, but the carriages are still shite (as the Scottish would say lol).

Now that I live in the UK, I signed up for mobile broadband yesterday and got a brand new shiny laptop 'for free' lol No more searching for hotspots, hurray! The whole of UK is now my office, just as well, considering that we are currently homeless whilst we look for one...

I have pay as you go mobile broadband but only just bought it and this was the first time I tried it out. I loaded it up on the train only to find as soon as I tried to check my stats that the Vodafone mobile broadband comes with Content Control turned on. I didn't have the account details with me to call and get it lifted. So, went with the trains so that I could look at basic work pages. I wasn't even trying to look at anything with actual porn on it.

From memory they are way downstairs right?


We go to a slightly similar place reguarly in London..one of the Errie pubs. There is actually one in Edinburgh too. We went last time because it was the last of the Errie pub co chain that we need to have been to all of them in the UK. The one in Edinburgh is called Jekyll and Hyde.
