Drivers and cyclists wearing headphones whilst driving / cycling...FFS.
Go ahead and deprive yourself of one of your 5 senses whilst on the road...very clever that.
not saying they deserve to die but i'd be hard pushed to find sympathy for them if they had an accident - its other on the road that pay....
Got to agree with you on this one Go ahead and deprive yourself of one of your 5 senses whilst on the road...very clever that.

Surely there must be a rule on this? kowalski655 said:

Despite listening to most of my music digitally, I like to own the master physical copy on CD, and still listen to a lot of CDs in the car. I like a nice jewel case and booklet, they stack nicely in a CD rack and stand up to the rigours of movement between home and car, and are easy to locate in my collection (non-alphabetised, I might add). If the case breaks over time it is simple to replace with a new one.
Most new CDs are released in those cheapo cardboard cases that last about two minutes, won't stack properly, and you can't read the spline easily when trying to locate them.

I will just go with CDs period, the so called robust non scratch CD.....What a load of b
ks,
My Van CD player can never seem to load the bloody things, go over a Pot hole and the things stop playing, they scratch really easy. Hate the things, Stupid plastic hinged boxes, even worse if you have a double CD box, you need to go on a mechanics course to work out how to open the bloody things then one of the hinges brake off chucking your CD into the footwell of car or van.
Thank god for the iPod.

Unless Australia Man is a superhero I haven't heard of.

Working away at home, listening to Absolute Classic Rock whilst ploughing through forecasts and spreadsheets..and what is bloody annoying me today is the 'Terms and conditions apply, subject to status, you must be over 21 at the time of...etc,etc' drivel spoken at great speed at the end of most of the adverts..
Oh, and another one, whispering on adverts - infuriates me...

Designed to get your attention amongst all the other shouty ads. And it obviously works.There's a guy. He shares my first name and his surname which I am not going to mention, but well done, you're an ahole.
He appears to be applying for loans and using my landline number - I've had 3 calls today from UK based numbers, 4 yesterday and over the past 3 years, more than I care to even think about from India over the past 3 years.
You're a bd. Stop it.
I accept if he has, at some point, had my number, but over the past 3 years it's been constant - and now to be told that "he applied for a loan today with this number" - I'm a bit annoyed.
I've never had any post in his name so that's something and now, when they ask for James, I ask which one and now just pass the phone to my 3 year old. He had a 5 minute call with someone from India earlier before they hung up.

Confuses the hell out of them when they ask me what team I support and I reply with something like Rebellion
Yep - or Green Bay Packers. You didn't say it had to be association football.
