People of Swindon.

I am here on a course this week, finish at 5pm every day.
Can someone help me with some ideas on what I can do after this time?

Thanks in advance, Stuart.

Personally, collapse at home and drink, but I accept that's not much use.

What sort of things do you like doing?

Open the mini bar and watch porn until 4:00am?

Car things!
Found a steam museum, that shuts at 5, lol.
Think it is going to be a Cineworld trip tomorrow night like.
Staying on your own in a hotel is absolutely tragic.

Actually you could take in a ritual animal sacrifice or maybe watch them burn some witches.

Alternatively don't underestimate the fun that can be had showing the locals an iPhone. Of course they'll refer to you as "magic man with oblong candle" but there's still fun to be had.

I've got another idea. Sneak out at 4:00am and spray "cock piss babtridge" on the nearest Lexi.

Or.... Find the nearest 24 hour Asda and confuse the security guards by sidling up to them and saying "Zone nine is ready for operation catchpole, I've got your six"

Get the train to Bath (about 30 mins) and see some culture, architecture, normal people etc. Swindon is a sthole, get out while you can.

I lived in Swindon for years

My only suggestion is a ride on the monorail

I logged in to say this.

ETA - go to the Dick Lovett showroom. They normally have some lovely metal in stock and are normally very receptive to people having a look round, not sure what time they close though.

It is twinned with Disneyland.

Must be something to do there.

Ah, Swinetown, or better known as Pigsville Villas. Do as the Romans did, as...'All roads lead from Swindon'; you get the idea. PS if you speak English, you'll feel very alone

Love the replies, HA.
Mr A Knight - if you could forward her details, that'd be fab, thank you.
And Dick Lovett suggestion, I drove round the car park earlier but didn't think they'd be overly receptive.
If you're SURE, I could always go through the doors this time!

When you finish your course on Friday can you drop a lit match on the way out of the town, ta.

No...lived near to Swindon for more than 10 years. Reckon I enjoyed experienced the nightlife on two occasions.

Bath, Cirencester or even Marlborough
