I have a cold. I'm not going to work tomorrow.... FACT

So anyway, Im chilling out here watching Magnum pi (which is shit) and suddenly... .PLOM my ears pop and I can hardly hear. I feel like my head is in a bucket. Do I have an ear infection? Do I have too much snot in my ears? Or is it the plague?


I need my hearing, its usefull.

My ears and teeth hurt.

Maybe were related.

sympathy pains? dont patronise Jimbo

Was Magnum PI the mistachioed one with the Ice Cream? :roll:

yeah and the nice shirts.

And Ironside had the wheelchair? Kojak the lollipop? Columbo the jacket and the knackered car? Morse the red Jag? Bergerac the centipede?

Why did all the detectives have to have a thing?

What does danger mouse have?

A pillar box.

He's got that white flying car! And Penfold who is enough to drive any mouse to stilton, whether dangerous or not!

Is that the same as a post box?

yes

 The detectives its been my misfortune to encounter for various low grade misdemeanors, have all been fat balding bastards with the braincells of a pea.

 I guess giving them a thing makes them interesting.

Taggart didn't really have a thing apart from his Weegie accent.

 And the fact he died and came back in a different form.

Does Frost have a thing?

Tache?
Curry?

 He's also Del Boy?

Reg, my geography teacher at school was Glaswegian and was always pronouncing stuff differently to however I knew and was adamant he was right.

He used to insist that the Himalayas were known as the Him-aaaah-leee-yas instead of the Himma-lay-as, which is right? His pronounciation sounded better but he's the only person I've heard use it.

Reg... my hearing please. fix it

Try flying a plane to 30,000 feet and then yawning.

I need an answer Reg, I'm tired and won't sleep unless I know.

 Given that Himalayas is an Indian word....imagine your down the curry house and its on the menu...you'd ask for a plate of Himma-lay-as....and the waiter would say plate of Him-aaaah-leee-yas.

I'd be more concerned that one of the world's largest mountains would be on a menu at an Indian restaurant.

thanks though Reg, you are my God.

They're actually supposed to be called the Himalaya not the himalayas and it is pronounced with a long a.

So it's Himaalaya. Sanskrit has a number of long vowels.

Hima means snow and aallaya means place or abode.

 Its a bit like The Mendip Hills....people say the Mendips....but locals will always say up on Mendip.....there's no such thing as the Mendips.

Yeah.

 And they're a lot closer than the Himaaaaallllleeeeeaaaas.

 This is a decent weekend walk.

This is like the argument of what Red Star should be called, as natives say it should be Zdorovios Maikakaohombo (or something to that effect) but translated it means Red Star....  I mean, you'd sound like a right mong if you said I'm going to the Hiiiimaalaaayaaas  :|

And also, I demand to know why Olympiakos is now Olympiacos

Try holding your nose and then blowing through it to pop the ears

 Are we taliking the Red Star of Phillipe Cuervo here?

  This is what Wikipaedia has to say......

    Beginnings of Red Star:  The birth of Red Star has reasons politico-chocolate éclairs. The goal of its creators is to collect voices in the popular mediums in favour of the social ideas of  the Furrow  and against  the anticlericalism  of left. In February  1897 ,  Jules Rimet joins together his brother Modeste, his brother-in-law Jean de Pessac, George Delavenne, Charles of Saint-Cyr military school and Ernest Weber in a Parisian coffee. Red Star, general sports club, are founded.

  Not too sure about being against anticlericalism though.

Erm, I understood nothing.   :|

I was talking about Red Star the Slovakian(?) football club...!

 Get used to it life's like that....when mentioning Red Star in football context some might think of the Belgrade team.....but because of the Frederic Darras, Phillipe Cuervo connection , I think of the Parisien lower league side , who apparently formed for  " reasons politico-chocolate éclairs" which will do for me.

Not Red Star Belgrade the Yugoslavian team then? :-))(

Put something hard in your mouth and suck ... but  don't swallow :wink:

Take advantage of the hearing loss to shout a lot and play music, watch tv etc really loud.

Although it's probably sorted it's self out by now

no no im still ill. One more day of playing half 5 minute games on pes5

It'll be a build up of wax, get some stuff that dries it and breaks it up....if its really bad it'll last for weeks. Your better off doing something rather than waiting for it to go away. Every time you get water in your ears its going to make it worse

Errr grim. wax.

Need to soften it. (Extra Virgin) olive oil works a treat.

I had an ear infection a while back and its a fucking killer, the pain i went through at work was not good.
