How selfish/entitled do you have to be to think you’ve got a right to inflict your music on everyone else? [Sadly I think this may be becoming a minority opinion, I’ve seen so many people on running groups defend their right to blare out their music as “what are they supposed to do if headphones aren’t allowed?” 🙄, and then suggest that anyone who doesn’t want to hear whatever pap they want to listen to - as it is always utter dross - is some sort of killjoy. Grrr!]

Surrey Phil Sep 2021 11:13pm, 29 Sep 2021 7,206 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Stupid news articles. I saw one today (but did not bother reading it) from the Daily Mail website entitled 'Ed Sheeran holds hands with his wife in Paris.' Other so-called news including soap opera updates/spoilers, what someone wore, someone's weight loss, what someone looks like without make up or anything about the Beckhams also get on my wick.

Comments on their Facebook statuses often build down to "Who?", or "Girl wears dress, goes shopping", etc.
