October 14, 200520 yr Recently here in my part of the world they have introduced classical music in trainstations to get rid of drug dealers/users, no-good-doers (sound like a Bush word) etc. well its seems a similar approach is being applied in KFC. I was coming home from a concert today it was quite early morning and while waiting for a bus decided to get some chips with my sister. There was a rowdy and drunk bunch hanging around, the security guard tried to get rid off them. They were out the door when all of a sudden i hear Clocks playing :stunned: the KFC manager had just put it on and people seemed to calm down. well just wanted to share my little story...and take up space...
October 14, 200520 yr Yeah, I made a call the other day, and when I was put on hold Clocks was playing. I hear Clocks especially being played in department stores and such.
October 14, 200520 yr Thats pretty cool! I do find it a very calming song, certainly calmed me before my driving test the other day! :)
October 14, 200520 yr clocks is very soothing...i have noticed that they play in a lot of supermarkets and places like that...it calms down babies too, you know. i used to baby sit this 6month old baby, and he would literally calm down(even if he was crying) when i would play proof and sparks! :D
October 14, 200520 yr should should have put an earbud in the ear the instructor couldnt see, and then listened to clocks. hahaha ;) :cool:
October 14, 200520 yr Hahaha damn that would have been a good idea! Maybe next time i'll do it! :lol:
October 14, 200520 yr Ah coldplay_sreph you had your driving test????? Was it your first?? they say that the best drivers always fail the first time....i did too, but passed my second though....t hat was three years ago...havent been in the driving seat since, only cause ive been at uni and cant afford a car :(
October 14, 200520 yr Hey Firthy! Yep it was my 1st, haha it was terrible, its quite funny when i think about it now, i've never driven so badly! Nerves got the better of me i think! But yes, all the best drivers fail 1st time! I hope i pass next time like you did! But even then im in the same situation, cant afford a car and by the time i could i'll be at uni in London and wont need one/be able to afford one. :(
October 14, 200520 yr awww, well im too young to get my license yet!! i have to wait until 7 months!!!just like i have to wait 8 months for the coldplay concert!!!!! oh man i really cant wait that long oh yeah and nice stories guys i agree that coldplay makes you calm, sometimes, yellow just makes me want to JUMP!!!
October 14, 200520 yr Haha. My bro e-mailed us today saying that he'd teach me because I probably wouldn't want our dad to do it. Which is very true. He'd be yelling at me the whole time because I'm a slow learner, AND he's one of those people who get mad if you don't get it fast.
October 15, 200520 yr Author ^ very true my dad tried to teach me when i didn't know a thing.......i kind of reversed crashed into the fence and scrapped the side on a tree :embarrased: i got an instructor after that :dozey: at uni the student union sometimes have stalls etc. and they used to always play AROBTTH album :cool:
