Quote from: Slim on March 11, 2022, 12:09:28 PMI think I've got tinnitus. It's subtle, but there's an ever-present faint electronic hissing sound in both ears. I can't even remember when it started; I went to a gig a couple of weeks ago and I think I knew I had it then, but I forgot about it and didn't take ear plugs.

It's very like the slight ringing in your ears that persisted a couple of days after a Motorhead gig.

It's not really distracting, it doesn't prevent me from sleeping, I'm not suffering any hearing loss and I can hear conversations as normal without any trouble. I'm most aware of it in the morning when I wake up. Most of the time I'm not consciously aware of it; it's just there like the sound from my computer fan, or air-conditioning, or the humming of a fridge.

From what my Google research tells me there's a chance it will go away, but I have a feeling it won't. I'll probably never hear complete silence again. But I'll be careful not to listen to music at excess volumes.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it's only temporary.

I've tried ear plugs at gigs but they were rubbish, I just didn't like what they did to the sound. Maybe I should've persevered. I'm careful at home to not listen to music at high volumes, especially as most of my listening is on headphones.

Victoria Nuland admits that the US has been collaborating with Ukraine at biological research facilities......a bit like they were doing in China

US administration and CIA up to their necks in it......again

Yup. It had been cleared out by the Azov Battalion, so they could attack glorious Russian liberators.

Azov Battalion??? Who they? How come I've not heard of them from our tax-funded state broadcaster?       

Quote from: Slim on March 10, 2022, 11:32:56 PMI think Chelsea's flirtation with the Champions' League and the upper reaches of the Premier League is over now. No sympathy either really, but the whole league has been shaken up by massive injections of money, especially at Chelsea and Man City. You mention Newcastle and of course there are some big ethical questions there, as well.

Thanks for that piece, dom. Didn't know much about the split.

Harridan reminds me of 'Raven' material and I'm not sure the other one has anything to offer (....me anyway)

Both a bit meh

How talented is Bruno Mars? I can't get over it

Talented family, his brother is a great metal guitarist

The Russians targeted hospitals all the time in Syria to bring down the moral of the opposition and they also used chemical weapons up to 17 time in Syria. The British are nothing like the Russians.

I don't deny the Russians are ruthless but I suspect we're being played as the propaganda war also escalates

Indeed but we've let our army kill innocent people.........quite recently too

I like it. Not the worst Kiss album by a long way.

World Without Heroes must be Gene's best vocal performance, surely?

Quote from: David L on March 10, 2022, 07:23:21 AMI think the Ukrainians are getting more desperate to bring the west into the war. Something looks weird about the maternity hospital attack in Mariupol. That's a big building, completely wrecked - three dead? No curtains at any windows and no sign of fresh bedding or medical equipment. Probably not in use.....as a hospital anyway
BBC are wetting themselves

No! You must believe the BBC! Reported in MSM:

Dr Oleksandra Scherbet, a neurologist from Lusk, said "A lot of women, newborns and medical staff were killed - this has to be stopped. It's horrible"

Perhaps the evidence will emerge later

Quote from: Nick on March 09, 2022, 03:24:27 PMPutin should just say he's accomplished all his goals and withdraw. It's the only get out he has.

I'm sure that's what most people would like to happen but at this point I think he may have more options than Ukraine/NATO
