If those people don't get headphones, and get them pronto, I am going to march down the train carriage and shove whatever ectronic device is playing effing electro pop music up their arse. Sideways.

And what is it about lond train journeys that make people feel the need to get drunk very quickly. We barely got out of the station before the group of chums in the carriage were pissed. And it wasn't near lunchtime then.

Its going to be a looooong journey.

Perhaps you should get yourself some headphones? Grin

Seriously, it is so antisocial to inflict your 'music' on fellow travellers. How long is your journey?

Alas being over 30 years of age (quite a bit) I don't usually feel the need for an electronic gizmo to fill every waking second (blackberry exculded, for MN purposes of course!) So even if I had some headphones, I would have nothing to plug the into.

About the throttle a four year old though. After a bloody hour of Toy Story on a i-player we now have 'noooooooooooo dadddeeeeeeee, I don't want to plaaaaaaay a gammmmmmeeeee' whinge whinge, choke, whimper 'i-plaaayeeeeeerrrrr'. You know when small children tire themselves out yeowling but keep it up anyway and sound almost distracted! 'Waaaahhhhhh (ooh, look a cow) screeeeechhhhh (is that a biscuit?) Yweeoooowl (where's the loo?). Child screaming now. My money's on the child. Dad looking resigned but drumming fingers.

Don't people drug their kids on long journeys anymore?

No I meant just wear headphones. Grin No need to plug them in.

How much longer have you got?

Frontpaw · 06/04/2012 14:38

About another 2 hours. DS is perfectly happy with his puzzle book.
