are cunts.
The main offender is my other half who just won’t acknowledge this. I can stand facing him, about two feet or less away, say something and just get a “what?” or blank look in response. If he’s not facing me, I’ve no chance at all of making myself understood.
If I try and suggest it is time to go for a hearing test, I get told that it is not him and that I’m mumbling. I was willing to consider this but others have said I am very clear. I end up repeating myself so often I feel like a fucking simpleton.
I even went for a free hearing test myself, to hopefully inspire him, and predictably there was nothing wrong with my hearing . Still no interest ( I thought the “free” bit might swing it). If he has the telly on when I’m elsewhere in the house, the volume is so loud that it sounds like a fucking spaceship is landing on the place.
I tell myself it is all part of the journey etc and he does have very many good qualities, but the trouble is I get to work and my boss is exactly the same – he recently got hearing aids which was a bit of respite but one of them is now broken so we have the old situation again, until it is fixed, His wife told me in confidence that she had been absolutely sick to death of everyone shouting around the house, until the hearing aids were fitted.
I know a lot of us struggle with the concept that we are getting on, but when avoiding the issue could get you run over or miss important instructions, surely it’s time to face up to it.
On a tangent, when I was a child, we were aware that one of our cousins was deaf, but his parents would not acknowledge this. Things came to a head when , at a family birthday party, another cousin tactlessly put a large saucepan on the deaf cousin’s head, and started banging it hard with a metal spoon – no reaction. The other adults rounded on the parents, which was unpleasant but did at least mean the poor kid then got the help he needed.
I had trouble finding a suitable link so please dispose of this one if you can find a better one!

I’ve completely gone off large gigs.
I can’t be doing with large crowds of fuckin idiots anymore.
And when I think about it, the smaller the gig the better I’ve enjoyed it.
Maybe in a few years I’ll only be able to enjoy live music if it’s just me and a busker in a room?

Too true, Miserable.
Full of knobheads holding up their phones.
The Apollo in Ardwick, Manchester is just the right size. Seen many a great gig there.
The Arena, on the other hand, is shit. A soulless concrete bowl. Far too any steps (inside and out) and the shittest security known to man.

OT – Hulk Hogan at Trump rally in NY, “I don’t see no stinking Nazis here”.

Yes.
He needs to shout more.
He’s at risk of appearing shy.
In feather boa, bandana, and sunglasses.
When my lad was little he had a big toy Hulk Hogan that spoke.
Said Hulk Stuff.
But its voice started to go , and it’d slowly groan and croak under his bed like it had tonsillitis.
It scared the daughter with it’s rasping utterances
“This is where the power lies…”
It’d hiss in the dark.
I binned the mithering , kid scaring, steroid abusing fuck.😂

OT. Manchester United are in talks about appointing Sporting manager Ruben Amorim as Erik ten Hag’s replacement.
Some other cunt nobody has ever heard of.
Oh, great.
We need another Doc or Big Ron.
Not some boring foreign cunt.

Yes, Norman. A local manager with a big load gob to let you know he’s there.

Let’s make it a loud one to make sure.

This is priceless..

It’s like harold Shipman hosting a life saving seminar.

I know Frodsham.
Nice little place.
Apparently the argument was about a bridge?!
Maybe the bloke was a troll?
Got Amesburys goat?
But the locals aren’t happy.
Fair dos if threatened he punched him, but the bloke had his hands in his pockets,
Didn’t appear to be acting irate
And Amesbury continues to punch him whilst on the ground.
He can try and explain it all he wants but the footage tells the story.
Clear your desk you cunt

You summed it up nicely there Mis. Also it occurs to me that Amesbury’s actions didn’t suggest it was behaviour with which he is unfamiliar. In fact the confidence and absence of hesitation with which he laid into that guy would suggest he is practised at such.

Pardon ?

There is hearing, then there is listening, both about as far apart as you can get. My hearing is excellent for my age, but my listening from an early age has always been terrible. Call it ‘selective hearing’ if you want, I am not so sure.

Since a young age I have had excess wax buildup in my ears, having eczema in my ear canal hasn’t helped. This means I am always partially hard of hearing and people have to repeat themselves or answer to me saying “pardon?” which gets annoying for both parties. I have to get my ears syringed at least once a year, which was OK when it was free on the NHS, but now it isn’t (what a cunt) so I have to pay privately. I haven’t resorted to hearing aids yet, but as I get older I may have to.
