A noise annoys

[hirez]

The last time I was 'in tahn ternite', more than one person seemed taken by the (efficient, UV reactive) re-usable earplugs I was wearing and asked me to bag them a pair the next time I ordered some.

As is the way of these things, I remembered to order a box of the things, but have forgotten who wanted a set. So, um, book yours here.

That may or may not sound somewhat un-rock&roll, but think on how often the grim cacophony of the Whitby PA has driven you back into the foyer.

Edit: These, in point of fact.

quanta costa?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

An pahnd, geezah.

sweet as - put me down for a couple

(one for each ear)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Right enough.

[miss-soap.livejournal.com]

I've lost mine, which AFAICR were the same as yours; can I bag a pair?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Sure.

(Reminder to self: put box in back of car.)

Linda just told me about earplugsonline, and I bought a whole bunch. It's probably cheaper than asking you to send some over the ocean. ;)

I used to buy mine, but nowadays Richer Sounds have abslute boxfulls of them, given to them by the RNIB.

If you pop in to any Richer and ask at the counter, they'll give you handfuls and handfuls of tens of bags for free.

They're the squishy yellow and red attenuating ones which are good for clubbing :)

So they don't want you going deaf as well as blind? Sound chaps.

If they work for you, that's good. I kept losing the bloody things, so went for the childhood mittens effect.

Also handy for the cyb0r types in that they can weave them into their hair.

If you have some spare at the seaside, I wouldn't mind nabbing a pair, thanks.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Righto.

[meltie.livejournal.com]

Oh, whoops. I blame that one on a very late night.

I lose them too, but i've got a medium-sized pile of them, so just grab a new bag whenever i'm off out somewhere with noise.

yes please Hirez. 2 pairs at least would be uber useful.

I'll collect if i see you, next Thursday night sometime? failing that Friday during the day - I'll be in the usual place :)

Wilco.

(Damn. Should have charged beer for the things...)

[alien8.livejournal.com]

I'll pay :)

if they're good for Friday night, then expect me to want to buy loads more off you - I've almost run out of my usual earplugs and am looking for good replacements.

hmm looking at that site maybe we should get the 500 pair wall box for the info desk!

Blast. :p

I have to say these things are pretty damn good. (But then I would, wouldn't I?) I've tried the squidgy things in the past, and they just block everything so the PA goes 'momp momp momp' and you can't hear a word anyone says. With the above jobbies, it's like listening to an only slightly shoddy stereo and you can hear conversations. Of course one's interlocutor can't hear a word, but it's much more pleasant than bellowing in someone's ear.

this is a plan!!!!

we'll sell them for a lot of moolah and split the profits three ways, ok?

:o)

ok, we may have to give paddy a cut to ensure he keeps the PA loud enough that we sell loads and doesnt try to undercut us by getting some VAT free pro-earplugs to sell from the sounddesk!!!

;o)

[godgirl.livejournal.com]

erm can i have one set for me
and two for pete to keep for the emergency "oh god, has anyone got spare earplugs?" panic at 730pm?

tho i didnt ask at the time, and it depends if you have any left, and if they cost a fortune or not...

etc....

wibble.

i'll take any spares going cheap too :o)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yup, sure. An Pahnd each.

[godgirl.livejournal.com]

pur pear or purr air?

:o)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Fiddypee an lug'ole.

[godgirl.livejournal.com]

thureee four too?

:o)

ok, no probs.

do they only keep out volume or gigs, or will they also work for sleeping?

if mostly for decibels, will get foamy ones for possible noise pollution from gulls/neihbours/random goths at night....

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I've never tried them outside of the filthy pop racket area.
