  1. Nope I keep forgetting I can hear now and keep watching stuff with the volume off Just had a weird moment sitting at the kitchen table thinking the dishwasher was making a terrible noise and must be about to explode and leak everywhere, I turned to look at it and the door was open so it wasn't the cause of the terrible glugging pump noises.. it was the boiler which is in another room Totally freaked out by how noisy my house is, that catering freezer in the garage sounds like it's about to take off!
  2. Meaning you currently trust him?
  3. Glad you had nice weather. I saw the sun briefly this afternoon, novel
  4. Likely but they're often the ones I end up good friends with later.
  5. A bit of celebrating went on last night with lots of music so this morning was not the morning to be starting an upholstery course and wielding a pneumatic staple gun for the first time, feck knows how I managed not to staple myself or anyone else The tutor has a sour face and a sharp tongue. My bench partner was having trouble using a tensioning tool and the tutor couldn't get her to understand what she needed to do. After multiple attempts I suggested anchoring the webbing the other way then there would be more room to use the tensioner. The tutor looked me up and down and nodded saying hmm quickly followed by "nobody likes a smart arse" They were her first words to me Eventually the tutor told her to do what I'd suggested, I said "thats a good idea, I wish I'd thought of that." She looked like she was going to hit me but then thought better of it, a little smile crept into the corners of her hard face I like her, she is bright and sarcastic, I suspect a lot of fun ahead.
  6. Vulcan, he was from VULCAN urgh where have the proper geeks gone?
  7. Thanks Clive I haven't quite got my head around it yet. I'm having a laugh relearning some sounds. This morning I turned the tap on and opened the glass cupboard at the same time. The water falling into the sink which I haven't heard for 14+ years sounded like a crashing noise, I jumped backwards because I thought the glasses must be falling out of the cupboard and smashing
  8. Bit late for a personality transplant at this late stage
  9. I love those, what are they?
  10. So cool. So there’s no bit where you have to drop the seed to a colder temp for a prolonged time before planting?
  11. I was only wondering about that today
  12. Oh that’s always been highly recognisable
  13. This feels more like a miracle than a result. I have new hearing aids and I can fucking hear!!!!! Mr Slowly started talking to me as we went through some doors and usually if someone’s behind me I can’t hear what they’re saying, maybe a muffled noise but no actual words. I hadn’t realised I heard all of it when I replied and he said you just heard what I said even though you couldn’t see my face. He then suggested I connected them to my phone and put some music on. I love music. Going deaf and not being able to hear music has been most painful so I was reluctant to spoil such a win by highlighting a loss. Curiosity got the better of me and I played a tune with a prolonged percussion section that contains cymbals, hi-hat cowbells etc all mixed in. I haven’t heard a cymbal for about 10 years but I could hear it all. Every instrument was distinct, the clarity is fantastic, I cried for so long my head started to hurt. I can’t believe it. I know it’s temporary and eventually I’ll get deafer but right now I feel so happy I could cry. Oh look at that I am
  14. Congratulations @busabeat great news
  15. Is this because of the undercutting thing going on that you've mentioned?
  16. Sounds ominous. Why a couple of years?
  17. @Pedro and how did you get on getting two women drunk n wheedling out info about their boss and how the meeting would go? I liked the plan, need an update!
  18. @Pedro what was the programme you enjoyed on HBO? I was going to look it up on Paramount but have forgotten what it was.
