Same here - helps to beat the boredom and expands the mind at the same time!

Factual audiobooks and Radio 4 podcasts all day for me.  I get so bored with music.

I have the Sii and knocking the cables out really bothers me too. Do you have a link to the headset please and does the bluetooth not drain the battery quicker?

I listen to audio books frequently, some I buy on iTunes and some are free, the most widely distributed magazine on the planet is always a good listen.  When 12 Noon comes I listen to Jezza on Radio 2.  I couldn't get through the day without listening to something.

Well done - always good to see someone making positive moves. Which books did you use?

I gave up smoking through listening to 'The Easy Way' by Allen Carr - two years cig free and I reckon it saved my life.

In 2014 I will be learning French and Spanish while cleaning windows!

Here's a man with some degree of inner peace and is happy with what's happening in his head.

I use Audible too, but use other stuff, like my library service which does downloadable talking books too.

Yes it was 'The Easy Way' by Allen Carr, I had to listen to it twice.

For the booze I listened to "Alcohol lied to me" by Craig Beck.

If you want to learn Spanish try "discover Spanish" a free podcast on iTunes. BUT make sure you learn lots of vocabulary first and during. My misses brought me the GCSE book and I learnt from that.

I also listen to 100's of hours of podcasts about food, health and religious teachings.

I also Have had a Bluetooth headset, had it for 2 years plays my music from iPhone brilliant couldn't be without it now. My music library does get boring too but if I play the radio it kills my battery on the phone in no time which is so annoying also to play radio it eats up data and I've had some large phone bills!
