      @gaseousclay you know what's funny? My grumpiness is inverted. Previous generations would have moaned 'turn it down it's too loud' 'I can't understand a word they are singing, you could in my day' 'I don't understand this noise you call music'.  I'm saying the opposite. Young people don't shock me, and they should. Be loud! Create music that gives me a headache and that I don't understand! Stop being beige and bland. And talk to each other using words, face to face. Making friends is good. Read a book, visit places, do stuff and learn from having fun, not from Google.

      Something is wrong when an old git has to tell youngsters to do things rather than 'stop that you damn kids'.  That said, kids, please stop stabbing each other and throwing acid at each other. Play nice eh?

      I’m impressed Stu.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        In the process of searching for a suitably large bass bin for my new house, fully expecting the young couple next door to ask me to turn it down.  😃

          @sabergirl @Matty123 @organisys  why thank you for the kind yet deluded words…my cult is now recruiting, we have excellent terms and conditions, and the pension scheme is great. Applications on the back of a postcard please.  😉

              @madmonday  excellent post friend. I'd advise anyone to do ASIST suicide prevention training. The highest cause of death in the UK for men aged between 20 and 45.

                  I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks, and I'm required to hold professional indemnity insurance. So I phone up my current provider.

                  "Can I have professional indemnity?"

                  "No, you have to have held a policy for twelve months in the past in order to qualify."

                  Err, WTF? ???

                    Yesterday my wife brought the family car to the mechanic, since the engine didn't sound very healty since a week or so.

                    Today I had a phonecall from them, telling me that the engine gearbox if fucked up and needs to be replaced. A new one from VW costs 2.600 €, a replacement from an alternative manufactorer will still cost 1.300 €. Plus work hours and a new coupling this whole mess will set me back at least 2.000 € and this right before the new m65 and the Kersey Western will hit IHUK.

                    Fekking lousy timing, since we need the car more then another jacket and western shirt. Damn it.  ::) 😞

                      Hate when that happens. Brought my car in for a simple oil change,had an oil leak and $450 later it was fixed. Of course it was when IH was releasing tons of cool stuff.

                        Yep. I’ve missed many IH drops due to unforeseen circumstances like car repairs or medical bills for my son.

                            Ear plugs. Any sporting good store or walmart has em. Go cheap or get some that mold to your ears.

                            And sorry.

                              I got some earplugs from an audiologist. Highly recommended. Can grab some earphone plugs while you're at it as well. Godspeed!

                              Think it, be it.

                                Five days later and Vertigo still has me in its grasps. Started prednisone today. Hopefully but works. I’m improving but still dizzy and nauseous. Can’t drive or work. Doc thinks it should be gone by end of weekend. We’ll see. MRI on Friday to rule out anything.

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    Also, I am too ocd for earplugs i have at least 6 different types. I dont like how they feel in my ears, the pressure. And I have tinnitus so there's a constant tape hiss. But most of the time i have my own room. But this time the hotel was full. Good night.

                                          Thanks Everbody. It’s like being drunk when you dont intend or desire…and having the spins.  But I think I’m
                                          improving.

                                          @Filthy  I hear you on the OCD, pressure and the tinnitus:  I recomend wax ear plugs that you can mold. Like
                                          The ones they sell at cvs. The font add much pressure. You kind of control how Hard you want to put them in.

                                          Maybe so. Maybe not
