again with the mp3
a couple of months ago, coming back from the dentist, i decided to do a bit of shopping. i only wanted a few bits, so i didn't bother with a trolley.
as i was wandering down the aisles, Battle Stations by Winger started to blast out of my headphones. i fucking love that song. losing myself in the music and completely forgetting where i was, i started rocking the old air guitar hard.
in the middle of Tesco.
i really, REALLY hope nobody saw me.

Star Girl.....
...by Busted ....gets me in the same way every time. Add to that the fact I'm a 6ft skinhead bouncing about in the gym every Friday morning when Chris Moyles plays it adds to my shame. I know people see me do it every Friday so there's no chance of getting away with it.

I used to listen to an Ipod in the days when I commuted by tube
but one day I forgot my Ipod. So I stuck a set of headphones in my Blackberry and listened to whatever was on that.

Packed tube, slightly tangled headphone cable. So I pull the headphone cable out to untwist it, and normally if you do that on an Ipod, it pauses whatever is playing. In any case, the ipod has no speaker, so nothing can be heard.

Blackberry doesn't pause. And it has a speaker. 400 commuters were treated to a tinny but very clear blast of Dancing Queen, and the sight of me desperately fumbling to either turn it down or stop it, and of course failing, but drawing attention to myself.
