A few years ago, there was a lot of media attention put onto people who listen to music on their personal stereos on public transport. The reason was to get them to turn their music down so others did not have to suffer the “chica chica chica” sound from their headphones.

I can understand why as it would be very annoying to have to listen to that on a journey.

Now I have a new annoyance.

Last night, as I made my way home, I walked into the usual train station. In front was a teenage schoolgirl, and she had music playing from her mobile phone (you know the ones that have little speakers on the back of them)., and it was quite loud.

I followed her down the ramp to the platform (where she stopped walking) and I continued further up the platform. When I stopped, There was another teenage schoolgirl playing music from her mobile phone.

At this point, it was not really a problem as there was enough background noise to make the music tolerable.

The real annoying bit came when I got on the train and sat down. A teenage school boy decided to stand close to me, playing his music very loud.

Don’t get me wrong, I like music, and he can listen to his R&B stuff if he wants to, but I don’t think that I should have listen to his crap, nor should anyone else.

I was a inch away from telling him to turn it off, but luckily for him, he got of at the next station.

Afterwards, I thought that this will be the next menace and unsocial monster on public transport, and even in the streets.

Next time, I will tell whoever it is to turn their f***ing crap off!!!!

It is horrible when disasters strike and there are significant loss of life or damage. Or when horrible things happen to innocent individuals.

But what really gets me pissed is when these instances become a major media circus.

It ends up in your face for weeks on every news channel, and it then stops me from feeling sorry for the victims, and I end up with the "Couldn't care less" attitude.

One such media circus that is going on at the moment is the McCann case. (For those who do not know about this, you are lucky, but do a Google search by all means).

I have gone from feeling sorry for the parents (BTW, they were totally irresponsible for leaving their 3 children unsupervised while they sat at a restaurant having dinner, and considering they are both doctors, it beggars belief!!!!), to thinking that they are covering up Madeline's death. (A death which I think happened as an accident through parental incompetence and they have cooked up this abduction story to stop themselves getting into trouble).

But what gets me, is Richard Branson has put up £100,000 for the legal bills because the Portuguese Police see them as suspects. They have raked in so much money in the Madeline fund, they have a professional spokesperson to do the talking for them, and lord know the amount of celebrities and sports people who have helped to raise the profile of the missing Madeline.

Why have other parents of missing children not had this attention and support?

What is so special about the McCanns?

It makes me feel even more against them and wish that they are guilty and they get found out, so all these big name supporters e.g. Richard Branson, end up with egg on their face.

Yet again, I have started to get the buzz about blogging again, and stumbled across this Yahoo 360, which i had forgotten about.....again.

And I must admit, after seeing quite A FEW other blog hosts, it is rather good, easy to use and quick!

I think I may live here for a while and post regularly.

WOW. I forgot this was here.

I did an interesting thing this week. I sent messages to all who are on my yahoo contact list to see if anybody was still using it. Only 3 replied so far out of 15!

Here is a picture of one of my cats, her name is Rosy.....

Ain't she just soooooo pretty???
