It may have to be
Talktalk seems to be throwing one of it's very regular wobblies and I'm not doing very well with broadband connection.

I'm quite tired

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:14, Reply)

Not really
Am suffering from a bit of an earache at the mo. Took the day off sick coz it was doing my head in. Spent most of the day asleep.

Ah, I'm a SLAVE to my ears
I've suffered ear problems for years and eventually was diagnosed with a lesser form of vertigo.

Too much loud music and other daft stuff in my youth.

I also have tinnitus, although not at an intrusive level.

Mind, at nearly 41 that's all I've got to complain about, so on the whole I suppose I should count my blessings.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:23, Reply)

Sometimes, I also wonder if I've been exposed to too much loud music
Sometimes in loud pubs, I find it easier to listen to the background noise than the foreground conversation.

TRIIIO... TRIIIIO! I WANNA TRIO AND I WANT ONE NOW!
Oh hai. Earache you say? Sorry bout that... I'm in work. The band of old folksters are in. I forgot. I have to sing. Ah well, s'all fun...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:23, Reply)

Why d'you got to sing?
Are these just old person regulars expecting some crooning?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:26, Reply)

They're this old band who come here for a reunion every few months and bring all their wives and that
I sang the last few times, but this time they've learnt all songs for me, and as soon as I walked in they said "hope your voice is ok, you're on in a bit". I know it's only a pub but I feel all nervous ha!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:31, Reply)

So what are you singing?
I expect "The leaving of Liverpool" may be in there somewhere.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:37, Reply)

They do The Leaving of Liverpool!
I'll prob do some Patsy Cline, The Boxer, Miss Otis Regrets and a bit of the Everly Brothers.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:42, Reply)

So fare-thee-well my loverlee...
Because it's nearly bedtime for me.

How do you do Everly's solo?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:53, Reply)

Is cerenading the best cure for earache I wonder?
But then again, you've got a nice voice when it's in bold all-capitals.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:33, Reply)

Shall I go into a scouse tirade?
That'll blow your earache to France...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 20:44, Reply)

Let's just hope it doesn't blow my ears there too.

Well done you :) what happened?
Sorry for absence of late chaps, we're totally slammed at work and I've been coming home and collapsing with exhaustion :(
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:01, Reply)

Evening Mallie
We're going through something similar. As well as preparing ourselves for a feature in an industry-magazine, we've got some stuff to get ready for an important trade show. The office is buzzing with activity at the moment. What a time for my ear/headache :-(
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:06, Reply)

Tell me about it; I desperately need a week off
but we're slammed. Especially as my mother has chosen to descend on me in a couple of weeks' time. Do not fucking want.
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:08, Reply)

Gah!
I too could do with some time off. Even though my earache let me take the day off, it's still doing my head in, and spent most of the day in bed.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:10, Reply)

I need something non-painful
to allow me a few days' grace to recharge my batteries, so I can sit on the couch all day.
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:13, Reply)

Only thing I can think of is pulling a sickie
Am sort of wondering whether or not I'll be in work tomorrow, but I'll see how it goes.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:22, Reply)

My job is precious, so I'm not sure if it's a risk I'm willing to take.
My boss is trying to persuade me to take my mother somewhere...
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:25, Reply)

Know what you mean
I daren't even pull a sickie myself, but have been known to ... ahem ... allow for some extra recovery time.

If you take your mother somewhere where the distraction really is a distraction, it will make being with your mother less intolerable.

* applauds *
* and also applauds the A&E staff *

Perhaps you should hold out the wire and show it to us for more applause.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:03, Reply)

*holds out piece of wire to further rapturous applause shared with the lovley A&E peeps*
they looked after me very well. top notch.
fuck those USAers who've been knocking it lately.
fuck 'em. fuck 'em good.
fuck 'em reeeeeeeeeeeal gooood.

edit: And good evening to you Mal, didn't see you sneak in there. but i am a bit distracted by the pain now the lidocane has worn off.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:11, Reply)

Moar painkillers!
MOAR!
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:14, Reply)

had a wee smoke just after i got home.
i now intend to rattle my way to the sofa and watch the 2nd part of waking the dead which isrecording as we speak.

so goodnight!
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:21, Reply)

Night :)

The B69/wire/A&E Trio are the stars of tonight!

EDIT: Also applauds the painkiller.

I didn't have anything
removed from my finger today, but I did manage to gouge a big fuck off hole in my innocent flesh whilst trying to 'fix' something with a scalpel blade. I've not bled like that in ages..
(berk, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:20, Reply)

Evening Berk
What were you trying to fix, and was it worth de-flowering your innocent flesh?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:23, Reply)

No
it was bastard not. A lovely sharp blade sank 3mm in to my poor index finger causing it to gush blood and me to swear, both profusely.
One of the machines in our lab had broke and it's old, but rather than replace it immediately (several hundred quid) I thought it'd be best to make sure the power supply wasn't to blame, so a replacement power cable is ordered (20 quid). It didn't quite fit, so I decided to 'remodel' it. With a scalpel, obviously.

it was the bloody machine after all...

*sigh* hows yourself?
(berk, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 21:31, Reply)

Ouch!
At least you made an effort to fix something rather than just throw it away.

Got a bit of an earache myself at the moment. Took the day off work to recover, but spent most of it either asleep or trying to coax my shower into giving me some hot water.

'ello Spakka- how are the proverbial tricks with you?

I am listening to Two Lone Swordsmen's guitarry stuff. Very, very different from the Swordsmen of Tiny Reminders and A Virus With Shoes.

Evening Plumdozer
As you can see above, I've got a bit of an earache. Can't handle earphones at the mo' - especially not iPod ones.

How's things at your end?
