Never Judge a Book by its Cover

  Not overheard as such but I couldn't stop laughing on the tube this morning when some uber cool, shaved head, designer sunglasses, aspirational shirt etc. guy who proper fancied himself was standing next to me, and as the train got fuller and fuller I got squashed up closer and closer......at one point close enough to hear that on his ipod he was NOT listening to some underground grime MC, but 'All that she wants' by Ace of Base. Classic.
