What a great idea they are, little silicon buds that fit neatly into your ear holes, cancelling out the noise of the outside world so you can listen to your tunes comfortably and a lower volume then standard phones.
However they're not so useful when the buds get stuck in your earholes!!!
Crowning a morning of utter misery I had to stand, half deaf, on Embankment station digging about in my ear with a house key to try and remove the offending item. The last time I got anything wedged in an orifice I was a toddler and jammed a Jelly Tot up my nose ...
So, the morning so far:
* Tried to feed pills to Tom the cat using the trusted method or hiding them in squirty cream, only Tom didn't want squirty cream at 7am - FAIL
* Got to station car park and fed £4.40 into the parking meter in various 10, 20 and 50p combinations, shame the last 10p was refused every time for 10 minutes - FAIL
* Fell asleep on train (again) and woke up with seconds to spare before it set off from London to the South Coast - DAMN NEAR FAIL
* Earphone got wedged in ear hole - HEARING FAIL
* Removed earphone and boarded the only bloody tube train in London which went at .000005 mph for 20 feet before breaking down
I am currently hiding under my desk in fear of the sky collapsing on me...
