Whilst my ex-wife is still above ground, I am close to hell. Once she goes under it, she will be back where she came from!

At work we had the same 80 odd songs playing for over 3 years. It was better without the music playing.

I loose my ****** after 3 minutes in Coles with that 'down down, prices are down' song going on, i actually feel sorry for the staff, like its actually borderline torture.
Don't they use techniques like that in warfare to mess with the enemies minds?

I kinda feel bad for my co-workers, about 3 yrs ago they took our radios away (productivity review) and ever since then they have to put up with my poor attempt at singing! Every day!

omg, going to the shopping centre for a few hours at a time during the xmas period makes my ears bleed with all the xmas songs. I feel those who have to listen to it for more than that.

Off topic but I heard Woolies aren't playing Xmas tunes this year to appease other..... cultures?
Not sure if true. But if I worked there I'd rather the torture of Jingle Bells over the reasons for not playing them!

We have the radio playing through out telephone's at work and because I have not been a happy camper the past few days...to amuse myself, I set the radio to be just off station... Crackling radio don't bother me none! Sure did bother everyone else though.
That's just plain evil ain't it.

Sure do. In the Gulf War of the early 1990s, the US military played 'Hungry Like The Wolf' by Duran Duran around the clock for days and days as a form of torture for Sadaam's troops
