I've been saying for years that there should be a WiFi mechanism, on public transport, that automatically reduces the volume of iPads, iPhones etc when they reach a certain decibel.
Same goes for video calls.
On a packed train with my family. Couple across the aisle both alternatively playing social media videos on speakers at full volume. Managed not to say anything until the woman started playing a documentary about serial killers. I'm here with my daughter.
I politely said "please could you turn it down it's not appropriate." To which she replied "I'm sure she's heard worse at school." I said that really wasn't her call to make and in general could she please reduce the volume.
Her response "Its a public train for heavens sake".
For me that's exactly why it is anti social (and what headphones were invented for). I'm wondering which one of us is out of kilter on this?
Ps I should note she did thankfully reduce the volume and we all left it there.
At work, talking to 2 @ManCity season ticket holders about the *115* charges they're currently facing.
They both asserted that the charges are a "witch hunt orchestrated by the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal".
Industrial scale delusion!
“Sir” Jacob Fucking Reece Mogg, (the double barrelled arch cunt), just told us that over the next few years we may have to go to war, that some of us may die, and that this is “doing your DUTY.”
Duty for who?
He has six children. Five sons. One of them already walked the Eton corridor his father walked.
Do any of them get the same speech? Or is “duty” something he hands down to other people’s kids while his own stay officer class, well back from the front line, or parked in Whitehall pointing at maps?
A few years ago I still thought Churchill was the last word in British backbone. WhenI still a member of the Conservative Party, around the same time I still thought Rees-Mogg was one of the good ones.
The version of me that believe there was actually a Left and Right problem is gone, replaced by a better version who sees it clearly as an Us and Them problem.
Them, the same class that talked working men into the trenches in 1914 and again in 1939 is back on the soapbox, wrapping other people’s blood in the Union flag.
All of it, in the end, for the same old project: Zionists, bankers, globalists, and the heirs of the Bolsheviks who never send their own kids, and just manufacture new ways for ours to die.
Ukraine is not the Falklands (the Falklands were not even the Falklands that we were rabble roused into). It is not a threat to British soil. It is a meat grinder sold as a principle. A million white Christian men can vanish into it and the people giving the lectures still get home in time for black-tie dinner, with the Conservative friends of Israel.
So here’s the only point that matters, Jacob:
Send yours first.
Not a speech. Not a Latin quote. Not a lecture about King and country from a man whose King is more interested in the “wisdom of Islam” than in the people who actually built this great nation.
You want a war for Israel, for NATO, for Brussels, for the Bolsheviks, os for whoever is writing the cheques this decade — put Peter, Thomas, Anselm, Alfred and Sixtus on the list before you put mine.
Fuck your duty Jacob. Send your own fucking kids.

@luhyoumf I was seeing a girl a year ago. She sent me a text, two days after swapping numbers, saying "you never text me at all".
My instinct said that was a bit heavy, and I ended it.
Premature?
Good instincts?
Help!
Hi, @sampdoria
I've been a lifelong fan of Sampa, and am travelling to Genoa, in November.
Any chance of a ticket, for the Benevento match, on 21st November?
Cheers.
