More tales from the bus – going to work early this morning two seats behind me sat what I can only presume was a would be contestant for Britain’s Got Talent, who spent the entire journey singing out loud the Whitney Houston song book causing much donning of iPods and embarrassed shuffling amongst passengers all around me. I used to quite like I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
Not anymore. 
My own iPod will be resounding this week to the sound of a much welcome compilation set released today. There are very few …
