What will happen if the oil runs out tomorrow…
Part of me really wants to see what would become of us if this did happen, but another side just tells me that it’s going to be on the darker side of some apocolypic Hollywood movie!
Lets have a think about what some of the immediate and longer term outcomes will be.
For starters, unless the governments all of a sudden magic some wonder fuel out from under it’s hat that they’ve been suppressing for years (lets face it with the amount of tax a government makes on fuel this might even happen, something like this maybe http://http://www.ecogeek.org/component/content/article/1433) it’s all going to get very hairy, very quickly.

Ok, so the back ground to this one is not of high end super expensive earphones but, one of best sound quality I could find at a budget. previously owned models were:
i) an early pair of Sony ear buds which was my 1st experience of noise cancelling in ear phones
ii) Shure ec2 ear buds, 1st pair of what I would call expensive earphones
iii) Apples in-ear buds, chosen because they were the only ones that supported the click functions at the time
With me misplacing my set of Apple ear buds, I was on the market for Continue reading →
