Did you read Katie's recent piece on the tragedy of cheap headphones and find yourself nodding along in agreement? Me too. I particularly hate it on public transport when you've got N Dubz blaring into your right ear for three stops from your music-taste-impaired neighbour. Despite this, I've … [Read more...]
