Things to do on the tube Part I

Watching TV

There are numerous ways to keep oneself entertained while on the tube these days.  For one the emergence of smart phones which allows the download of television programmes to be watched at leisure is one good way to pass the time.  

I recently got a smart phone; my old phone having given up on me and died while in service.  I got the same model as my partner to make the getting to know the new phone a less painful experience.  To be fair it wasn't that hard to learn to use in the end as most functions were quite intuitive.  But it was hours of endless fun playing with it after.  There are countless applications that could be fun to have and just choosing goodies to have on the phone was most entertaining.  The iplayer download was excellent as it let me keep up with programmes that I missed from being too busy with one thing or another.  In particular news programmes and discussion panels were now more accessible and I found it much easier to keep up to date with recent occurences.  And there are just countless episodes of documentaries, comedies, and drama series to watch while on the tube.  It took me a while to figure out that I needed a media player to play the downloaded files but there is so much freeware to cover everyday needs I was literally spoilt for choice.

And so it is that on my morning trip to work I can catch up with the ins-and-outs on the box.
