Workmates 1, 5 and 6 can no longer cope with the deafening silence in the office, so resort to listening to hideously over-compressed, barely musical commercial radio through hideously tinny, white-noise-emmitting computer speakers, forcing yours truly to reach for his monitoring headphones and crank the Chicane, which has the added benefit of rendering him immune to all but the most persistent pestering as he can no longer hear anything.

mattw is becoming slightly concerned that he will shortly be due an appearance in these pages, now greg is sharing office with him.

Haha — the office I share with you is actually partly to blame for this, having set the in-office music fidelity standard at a high level… Computer speakers weighing all of 400gm can hardly compete with Bang & Olufsen! greg
