Are we going to see fic with aliens on buses masquerading as Eastern Europeans? You know, being deaf has its advantages sometimes.
Once the headphones are in and the volume is high enough for me to hear the music, there ain't going to be no shouty people distracting me as I can't hear them! My lovely Senheiser (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-CX-300-II-Precision-Noise-Isolating/dp/B001EZYMTK/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_2) ear buds have a good noise-reducing effect as do the much cheaper Creative (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-EP-630-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B0009G6FQI/ref=br_lf_m_1000370123_1_1_ttl?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&pf_rd_p=114032367&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000370123&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1WQCDQSWXHS1MBCWW37P) ones. This style of headphone has given me back my ability to listen to music on the go - any phone that doesn't go *in* my ear canal, with a fairly good seal is virtually useless as all the sound bleeds away from where it needs to be.
And if it looks like there's anything odd going on the earphones come out and the hearing aids go back in, just to make sure I don't miss anything. I hate coach travel, gimme a nice train any day.
