Not the scabby gross type, just the can't really hear type. I get it whenever I spend time underwater. Usually passes within 24-36 hours. I'm on day at the minute...

I had the same problem but solved it with Zoggs (or similar) earplugs. Feels odd swimming without them now.

There are various types of plug at a range of prices...

...but the Zoggs are about the cheapest and they work fine for me. If you have a problem with fit the moldable silicone ones are probably the way to go. Some people like the ones that are on a 'string' but, tbh, if they're likely to fall out they don't fit v well.

Many thanks - just ordered a pair.

And to think I was hoping for a pointless whinge!

You can still whinge if your ears are still full of water on day 6.

(But if you still can't hear properly I'd suggest a trip to the doc because it doesn't just sound like a lug full of sea/pool water after that length of time).

Trying to reset a work IT password, 1 hour in a queue, starting at 11 , got to 6 in the queue before giving up, tried alternative number and sent a link that doesn’t work, tried again, got sent the same link which still doesn’t work. Gave up, I’ll let my competency’s lapse and wait for them to sort it out.

Apple are BMP right now, even though I can understand why. My Step Dad has lost it due to infections and managed to lock his iphone out of everything. Tried following apples reset procedure but he hasn't updated the payment card so we cant use that method as its out of date. Apple have scheduled a reset procedure with us for the 1st of September. Now I appreciate the security behind this but a company as big has apple cant sort a basic problem out for 11 days ffs!

KTM
Just started rebuilding this lads Duke. Get the new valve spring out of the packet, hmmmm!!!! Not sitting in the bottom seat.
Drop the other inlet valve as I was changing that as a precaution, sits fine in the bottom seat, both sides.
A quick visual inspection reveals different lengths, and not by a wee bit either!
Measure the diameter on a Vernier, old spring drops through new spring dia!
Ok, off to the fowler's website, 2021 bike, yep, that's the part number KTM have listed.
I wonder if it's an older motor with new clothes.
Check the 20MY, valve spring has been superceded by new part, which they haven't put on the 21MY fiche. Cnuts

One thing that winds me up is when people push a motorcycle around when stood to the right of the bike & let it lean to the left so that the side stand holds the bike up.If for some reason the stand flicks up the bikes leaning away from them
When I manouvre the bike,I always stand on the same side as the sidestand so that the bike's leaning into me should the stand flick up.

I was in a shop today and they had a Halloween display....

Just seems so obvious to me.

We were in a supermarket two weeks before the schools / colleges broke up and they had the back-to-school aisles set up....

Everywhere. The neighbour's cat had been in earlier and for a time suspicion pointed in that direction.
