Fixed without surgery. Looks good on the stats too.

Aye. That'll relax her... Since you've mentioned it though, I'm not missing the opportunity to shoehorn in a link to my band's new EP. You have to be shameless when you have more driving licence points than fans.

George is still alive. Every time I put her somewhere, she somehow manages to end up shuffling up a few inches further than the last shuffle from the last graceless heap she was left in. She flaps and gripes at me a bit harder each time I pick her up. Small improvements. Play on for now. Maybe I'll learn something.

Aye. I called that firm up the thread and the guy looked down the phone at me like I'd asked whether they were halal. When you say business btw, do you mean VAT registered business or just business?

Bastards. Irish bastards but probably the same here.

Post the link if it’s still open on your phone please. The cookie options banner is in the way of the picture of the girl sucking a cock.

I’m probably clenching more than grinding. I remember I did keep catching myself with my back right teeth together and thinking it was bad for them. I did in fact do a long drive for the first time in a while the other day but also a day climbing for the first time in a while. And have had a bout of (bad) ear pain for the first time in a while. I think we’re on the right track. I’m a very relaxed and unstressy driver btw. I find it more boring and depressing than anything else.
-
Intermittent electrical fault a good analogy. I had a very annoying couple of months where I was trying to get to the dentist while it was bad. It kept coming and going as appointments were available and not. Should have just barged in and been demanding in hindsight. I don’t think I lead a particularly stressful life. This annoying thing that I can’t diagnose is probably one of the more stressful parts. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy in that respect, worse when I’m stressed because I’m stressed about it. I tried wearing the side of my head out by biting down on things HARD. Didn’t ease it much.

As an aside, does anyone know why these muffs have VAT on them? They’re PPE.

Gareth. Respectfully, I don’t want your opinion. Please don’t post.

In the same way that Americans deify old squarebody pickups etc, we will one day yearn for 1998 Transits. They’re effectively the Brit equivalent, only they don’t look like it because they don’t have a long bonnet and a gun rack. They do have decent sized beds though, unlike what we think of as pickups here, Hilux, Ranger etc. And strong gearing for weight, and business-favourable tax treatment. “Oh but the yank pickups are all 4wd and massive engines. They’re much better!” They’re not all 4wd and they might be big displacement V8s but they’re yank so they make about three horse per litre. Ever driven a remapped 2.4 Transit? They pull extremely well I think.

That question occupied my mind for about three years. I can’t remember the answer. I think I moderately clamped down on one side but wasn’t grinding back and forth. The more trustworthy dentist I had said he didn’t see evidence of grinding. I thought I’d tracked it down to TMJ for a while. No clicking or grinding though. The audiologist who looked at me for the IEMs was the biggest help in years. Straight away said, “Yeah. Obvious. Loads of wax and crap in your ear. Gets wet, swells up, pushes onto the eardrum, hurts.” But then I had a bout of it not long after my ears were hoovered out so can’t be sure about that either.

Because they’re expensive, people wouldn’t charge them, then people would break them, if they didn’t steal them.

I haven’t been to a doctor for twenty years. Am aware from musicians of ENT specialists’ existence. The hearing test in the first post was from when I had them cleaned and tested before having custom moulded in ear monitors made.

I often have my left down and my right up to get a mix of comms and ambience. I've had recurring bastard earaches in almost always my right ear for years now. Well that doesn't sound like much of a surprise, does it? Yes and no. It manifested for a while with a tight jaw. I couldn't tell whether it was the ear, the jaw or a tooth. The dentist tried telling me it was a tooth but they turned out to be shady bastards who urged me to have teeth unnecessarily pulled for the surgery commission. I had my ears cleaned. That staved it off for a few months but that was also a few months that I wasn't doing much tree work, up a tree, ear(s) exposed to cold draughts. Anyway. This is now a somewhat rambling post about my ear hurting, with no real questions. Anyone experienced similar? Any revelations?

Gawd bless em. I wish I'd kept mine. Lovely little van. Was only the fuel pump. I wasn't as mechanically handy back then.

Now I think about it, the lads who took him to the shop could have easily fed him a sandwich and scratchcard without me knowing.

That looks lovely as long as your hands are warm. What gloves are you wearing?

Sweating like cornered nonce after ropewalking ninety feet you mean.

On electric saws, I want to know what was used to cut down the Sycamore tree on Hadrian's wall. 0:29 -

I go from a 220 with 16" bar to a 500i with 25" bar. I keep wanting to want something like a 362 or 400 with a 20" but I just don't need one. I'd do three cuts with the 20" and then need the 25" anyway. This is climbing btw. -
I had a muntjac head sitting on a staddlestone. Noticed Sailor had nosed it off and was having a tentative lick. Thought little of it. Couldn't find it the next day, save for a few cm of jawbone. Crunched the whole thing up.

Too much clearly because he's deposited vast amounts under normal circumstances today too. He got into the spare food bags upstairs a couple of weeks ago. Might check those again.
-
Please do.

Aye. Still feel awful about it. I had to get back up a tree but a couple of the lads took him to the shop with them, where he apparently shit bigly more. He was alright in the side. Poked his head out and watched a fair bit.
