And I'd much rather know roughly how long the congestion goes on for rather than sitting there in it wondering if it's like it for the next 50 miles.

Not annoyed by the comment, more the fact that I regularly come down the M40 to see that there are signs saying major problems on the M25 with 2 hour tailbacks or some such at Junction 15. Is that going to impact on my journey? I've generally no idea. (It's not strictly true as I usually have the iPhone on telling me if there's problems, hence why it shouldn't pee me off).

Rodders Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My ears refusing to pop back swiftly. 24 hours since touchdown and still can barely hear a thing. I swear it's taking longer each time I fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also no need to warn of congestion at J9 of the M6. It’s pretty much a given most days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not painful at all, just squeeze them in, they're tapered and the added bonus.... you can't hear the missus (or the screaming baby in the seat on the opposite side of the aisle) It's amazing how many people who fly and suffer, don't know about them. £5, what have you got to lose!

Gone past the 50 hour mark and still can't hear properly Got off a plane yesterday evening, could hear at about 90% almost straight away, the 10% loss is probably because I took them out mid flight to listen to some music. But hearing recovery was still pretty rapid even after that and my ears haven't popped once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 13, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2018 In fact if earplanes made earplanes that were also in ear headphones that would be awesome! (where do I write to claim my money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a clue about show jumping, but for 3 hours this afternoon the radio at work the radio was on at Cheltenham, in those 3 hours 3 horses fell and a jockey broke his leg, and all they did was talk about how dangerous this 'sport' is for the jockey. IMO it's cruel and serves no purpose being giving people a chance to gamble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think it's cruel, but then again I think fishing's cruel so my opinion might be invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
