He'll be too tired to fap by the time he's finished reading, playing solo games, going for a walk, eating, watching tv, listening to the radio and learning a language.... :p
 
Entertain yourself by going out into the local community at night and doing dastardly deeds such as swapping ornaments etc, this will eventually make local news in a few days and gain you notoriety.

:D

There's been plenty of good advice in this thread and you're not taking any of it.

So, sit on the bed and stare at the wall.

Local cinema is a yes, I already planned to go see a film one evening a week or so. There is bowling but yes im alone haha. I am here on business yes but they won't approve wifi as a work expense as i don't need it for my duties, I cannot tether due to my contract this Three data simcard may be useful can i use it with a 3g usb dongle or does it require a phone? I have a nexus 5 so can easily make a portable hotspot.

As for games so far i have..
Skyrim (its linked to steam though can i use offline mode for this)
World in conflict
(and whatever else on my steam plays offline)

Btw the hotel is a premier inn.

Not everyone can do this.
We get our hotel paid for and 25 a night on the hotel for food. "depending how they implement charges for internet this can't always be used.

Like premier inn, charge on line, so cant be linked to your hotel bill. So costs me £10 for the week.

His company could just turn around and say that they are not paying for it, I know that my company definitely wouldn't.

That takes the ****, do you not get to claim of overnight incidentals? Papers and stuff?

Wifi would fall under that bracket.

Just pay the £10 a week. Are you saying access to the entertainment provided by GD isn't worth it?

It is worth it yes but its a steep cost

We get £25 on the hotel bill(can't claim alcohol, which is why we prefer small hotels ;) ), so if it can't be added to the hotel bill, then we can't do it. Premier inn the internet can't be added on to the hotel bill, so I have to pay it myself, £10 a week is worth it for my sanity. If op is in a premier inn. Just pay it. Its unlimited.

How is it a steep cost? Your willing to spend £20 on a sim card but not 30 on unlimited internet.

10 A week may be worth my sanity to be fair.. I know holiday inn it gets cheaper the longer you buy.. e.g is 30 days of access 30 for example?
 
Same with premier, but can't remember the rates. It may not be cheaper buying a month rather than just 3 separate weeks.

Edit - Here you go

£3 for 24hrs
1 week £10
1 month £20
1 year £125

So only £20 as long as they're consecutive weeks.

The idea behind the dongle though was the 4th week ill be moving into my flat and whilst waiting for sky to install my line ill have internet still. But i suppose ill be busy decorating and putting my surround sound in etc so a week without isn't a major deal breaker. Just 3 weeks is
