Congratulations. Some People will approve. The new cable gives audio and Power To All Our Friends. True, We Don't Talk Anymore when we're glued to our devices, but that's the way the Young Ones are these days.

"Hey kids. Stop snogging and pay attention to me. Cos if you're a wild-eyed loner standing at the gates of oblivion, then hitch a ride with us, because we're on the last freedom moped out of nowhere city. And we haven't even told our parents what time we'll be back!" )
