Somebody to blame

If there is one thing more annoying than other people being stupid it is when you manage to be a prat yourself.

I had been sitting listening to an interview on a nifty pair of Sony folding earphones I have had for years which were then left draped around my neck. As I got up to change computers - don't ask - I stood on the lead and ripped the wires from the earpieces.

Try as I might I have so far failed to find anyone else to blame - but I am still looking. Meanwhile I have been trying out some new JVC jobbies which for an old git like me are ideal as they hide in your ears.

I am a great believer that you reach a certain age when walking around in bright green earphones or pink sports headphones listening to your iPod makes you look as if you might need a carer. And before anyone says anything, yes you can wear a cardigan, drink bitter and own an iPod.

Once you get past puberty I suspect that only bats and humpback whales can hear the top and bottom ends of frequency ranges but these JVC's are pretty good, 8Hz to 25,000Hz which is actually better than my iPod Classic's 20-20,000Hz.
