            Week two for me, bored and even worse, in Farnborough the dullest place on Earth...

            Still - I'm off to Warwick on Friday - I'm soooo excited I've wet myself...

                If are supposed to do that then you have work to do surely? It's part of the gig and you are paid for it so get on with it and stop crying like PC.

                  I can't read that nonsense all day. It makes me nod out. It's absolute torture, it really is.

                    Load up some movies onto tablet/phone? I had a few weeks like this, and then days where I wasn't fully utilised so just brought myco laptop in running some VMs running OS I wanted to explore to kill time. Lots of staring into space too, but I have the advantage of military training on that one.

                    Also took various pemie team bods out to Costa/star/prett across the road and got low down on various things on the way. Only a ten mins trip but helps build a good working relationship.

                    Farnborough is not amazing though, at Frimley or more the airport way?

                      Or load some e-books. Learn some skills, read some novels etc.
