Right, this is it..

WHY OH WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THEY HAVE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC ON THEIR MOBILE PHONES ON THE BUS/TRAIN/IN PUBLIC PLACES? WHAT'S WRONG WITH A PAIR OF HEADPHONES? I mean if it was an undiscovered seminal masterpiece and requires the mobile phone owner to jump on their chair and shout out 'Listen to this! It affirmed my life and saved my mother from cancer!' then maybe I would pay attention (or at least have some amusement).

But no.

IT'S A TINNY DRONING DRAWL THAT NO ONE ELSE LIKES! Look around you, do you see people unable to stay in their chairs for the irresistible urge to dance in the aisles? Are they asking you what that tune is, or flocking to chat to a person with such amazing taste in music? At least get a boombox or something that can make music sound more like music and less like a tumult of screaming ants (yeah).

AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS EMINEM OR 50 'DIED TRYING' CENT? Why is it always some person making money from droning through a tune written about:
(a) How they are so great and so much better than everyone else.
(b) Chatting up a person in da clurb.
(c) Chatting someone up in general.

Judging by the top-of-the-range phone that you recklessly wave around public places I don't think it would be a stretch to go out and buy a pair of headphones. And yes, that does mean you would have to go to a real music store for once (instead of downloading pirated stuff) and get them. It may just save your phone from being taken/knocked away/stamped on by other commuters on the day when we will all have a revolution against crimes against sanity.

That's all.

Well said that man! Though I can't admit to having been plagued personally by this technological terror, I can just imagine how annoying it must be on a crowded london train.

That was great! V funny and rather true. You should write comedies or if you don't then you can carry on amusing bloggers, family and friends.
