The most annoying thing about people listening to music through headphones...is when the person has the music so loud they don't realise the volume of the bodily noises they make.
Seriously, on the tube tonight this guy was snorting, sniffing and spluttering so loudly, the whole carriage was looking at him in disgust but he was in his own little world.
So, please people, remember that whilst you're listening to your music, we don't want to be listening to your guttural throat clearages!

The hunt is on at Canary Wharf: ‘Where’s Wally?’
Have you noticed all the big eggs around London? All looking a bit like this.
Well, from 24th– 25th March, Canary Wharf will be housing, or rather ‘hiding’, the elusive ‘Where’s Wally’ Egg – as part of the world’s largest egg hunt to date.
The Wally egg will be the twelfth Faberge Big Egg in the Canary Wharf area, but only for two days before it roams once more. Wally moves location every few days and is worth double entries in the Diamond Jubilee Egg Competition due to his mysterious nature. Wally is the only roaming egg in the hunt, having already popped up in all areas of London including The Tower of London and The Royal Opera House. This wandering egg has sparked much attention from families all over the capital. Can you spot him? Come and join the hunt at Canary Wharf.

Attending the launch night of 'Elizabeth Avenue'
Thursday night saw the launch of the very exciting new stories for children based on a group of cats and dogs that live together on Elizabeth Avenue, in North London.
On arrival we were treated to Champagne and canapes at the marvellous Screen on the Green cinema in Islington, which has a bar at the back of the cinema and amazing sofa seats!
Amanda Evans, Series Creator, opened the evening explaining her inspiration and the idea behind the characters and stories, sharing some wonderful photos.
She introduced Rafi Nizam, Character Designer, who brought her characters to life. He took us through the process of looking at actual photos of each type of animal and then how he turns that into a cartoon like image and how to bring the individual personality traits in.
Finally, we heard from King Bee entertainment, who over the past 4 years have taken the characters, stories and illustrations and brought them to life.
This wonderful animation, as well as warming the hearts of all the adults in the room, tackles some serious issues that children might face, but with a fun approach that they will learn. Alfie, for instance, is new to the Avenue and has moved from the country and Trampas, the star of the short clip above, is a bit of a misfit.
