Invisible shivers running down my spine....
Brrrrr nice and cold...
People are strange things ... today I was sat on a train trying to get my head round the fact that twice in one weekend Virgin Trains had managed to get my train to leave on time ( something I am not usually familiar with) . I became aware of the shhhh shhh tick tick tick shh of a personal stereo on overdrive. You know the sound where you know they are listening to dance music, you can hear the beat but no hope in hell of ever actually hearing the music. Now yes the sound was excessive but what drove me to distraction was the constant tsk tsk from the passengers around the carriage followed by disapproving glares in the direction of the sh sh sh tick.
After a while it drove me MAD! I had to go and ask him to lower the volume.. not because he bothered me but the bl**dy tsk'erteers were driving me insane!!! If the sound was annoying them why didn't they just ask him to turn it down - did they think that in between tracks burning holes in his eardrums he would think to himself "is that a tsk I hear, oh dear better lower the volume so as not to bother my fellow commuters" NO!
Most people respond to a polite request (as he did) but perhaps with this EVIL world portrayed by the press that everyone who wears a hoody is an axe murderer we are losing the ability to communicate with our fellow man/woman? I know a Psychology Teacher at Oxford who wear a hoody! ...... she is due for parole any time now ;-)
Movie News
Not been :-( but I am sure to go some time soon
Reading of the week go here to show support for bloggers against big business - Jo Gordon was sacked by Waterstones for his blog you could be next!
Supersize me to see how fat McDonalds wants us all to be ( funny how it is top of the google search eh guys???). It's easy to be balanced when you have a $ billion budget ;)
