Music Nutters

Why has someone not taken a law suite out against nokia / sony etc. Whoever had the bright idea of making cell phones (mobiles phones) if you prefer with loud speakers on them? What a bright idea that was. I bet they don't have to sit / stand next to someone forcing you to listen to their choice of music. There must be some law about violation of noise, privacy, stress caused by having to listen to sound you can not escape from, that an American lawyer could take out against one of these companies and get them not to be built as such. The almost as stupid thing is the headphones Ipod etc give away with there products. They are simply not up to the job. I know they must be cheap, hence they come included in the price of the product but they don't do the job. I tried and tried to use my Ipod on the tube, no good the background noise of the movement was such you have to keep turning it up then when you enter any station its blaring out and every one can hear it so you keep adjusting the volume all the time. Just too much hassle. I intend to get a proper head phones, which cut out the outside noise plus give A1 sound quality. Now to include a pair of these with each would be a smart idea.

Litter on the Underground

Coming back from work this evening and it brings home how much amount of litter makes the environment an unpleasant place to travel in. Why do people leave a donnar kebab or KFC rubbish half eaten on the seat? Do they really think someone else is going to want it? They are so lazy they can't be bothered to wrap it up and take it with them. The rubbish smells not so nice and stains the seat. You wonder if they even bother clearing up after themselves. Not wishing to moan on but this is just a little thing; take your rubbish with you that would make the environment a lot nicer. The other 'rubbish' that is left behind that is useful are the 'free' newspapers. These now take the form of 3 different sorts in London. There are a free morning paper and two completing free evening papers plus the paid evening paper. For those of you who don't live here may be wondering why people buy papers, less people do now. Basically the morning 'free' paper 'The Metro' is largely last night’s evening paper (paid version) rehashed with the odd bit of news from PA added with a stack of adverts. This paper is produced by the same people as print the Mail and Evening Standard. The evening 'free' papers are a cut down version of the Evening Standard produced by same people the The Lite, and then Murdoch group produces the other free paper. Which not surprisingly all get read and re-read multiple times throughout the day till late at night when they are on the floor and waiting for the cleaners to finally tidy up at night. I just hope that these are printed on re-cycled paper and recycled themselves.
