AdamTH17 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Did I create this topic to coincide with the multitude of long-distance journeys I'm making next year? Perhaps. How do you kill time when traveling, be it a flight/drive/coach/train, whatever. Do you get yourself a good book? Earphones in? Podcasts? Handheld gaming? I'm personally crap at sleeping whenever I'm on the move, so it's usually swapping between stuff I've downloaded prior on Netflix and a book to get me through.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 4, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2018 I like to take a book with me and then not bother reading it because I'm too busy flicking between Ukff and Reddit on my phone. If it's a flight I'll download some movies and TV I've been meaning to watch, and then not bother watching them and instead watch the rubbish on the in-flight system.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 4, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2018 I go armed with multiple forms of entertainment so I’m covered whatever mood I’m in. - Podcasts, absolutely. Get into one that’s been going years, that’s hundreds of hours of content. - Netflix does offline downloads, I’m starting Star Trek: The Next Generation from the beginning. If I want something quicker, All4 has every episode of Whose Line. - Our bookshelf has about a dozen books I’ve bought and not got round to reading. I can’t justify more books until I’ve read at least some of them. - Failing that, you can’t beat a good magazine, or if your transport has WiFi, you can find yourself as hopelessly addicted to Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes as I am. If I can just get enough Hera Syndulla shards to upgrade her to five stars in time to unlock Grand Admiral Thrawn... just one more daily login...

UK Kat Von D Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I usually just answer emails and draw. Once I did a status on Facebook saying “I will PayPal £20 to whoever posts the best meme within the next 2 hours.” For two hours I was getting new funny memes that really helped pass the time. It became more of a challenge to be the best than actually get the money. The winner saved one of my profile pictures and wrote “when you pretend to give £20 away just to see memes.” I sent him the money and then he donated it to the Women’s Aid charity. Happy ending all round, a lot of laughs were had and a few people outed themselves for numerous unfavourable opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 Whenever I think of "Killing Time", I have this British Rail video stuck in brain. Probably not safe for work.. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 I pass the time listening to music and wondering if the other passengers hate me for wearing shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm a thirty year old man with a red Nintendo DS and an R4 card. This is great for passing time on long train journeys but not so great for my public image, as I get very weird looks from other folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted December 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 5, 2018 Always take a big, worthy, literary book that you know you ought to have read by now. You won't read it. That's not the point. The point is it guarantees you'll find something else to do for the entire journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
