I like that you capitalise 'TRAIN' - I read it as yelling, as in early mobile phone usage.

I am not sure if this post is celebrating the fact that you can use the internet on a train, or bemoaning the fact that we still use trains instead of matter-transfer teleportation pods or something.

actually i like trains, though this was a bit of a tiresome journey -- a light aircraft had crashed into a rail footbridge somewhere in staffordshire and the entire network was bollixed up; trains delayed or cancelled; the train i was on overfull tho not horribly

the modernism wore off quite quickly: i lost the signal -- via mobile broadband -- goin thru a tunnel and didn;t get it back

the most futuristic element was actually a supercute studenty black girl, early 20s, unembarrassedly watching a rip of "zak and mimi make a porno" on her laptop beside me!
