I agree with what is said apart from the pronounciation part. It can be VERY hard to pronounce some names so if my name is said wrong I wouldn't complain simply because I realise its not an easy name to say. Even I have trouble saying my last name in english :P.
The headphone part, I completly agree. It was Greg who had the speakers on and we'd hear the cars, the others talking over him and all. It would be cool to have a system were whenever someone talks it cuts off all the others so that they cant speak at the same time. :P I doupt its possible though xD.
