Yes glad the film was good Fifi.
I used to love going to the cinema, but for various reasons have not been for a long time. The last time we went someone with a few unfortunate issues was there and they were shouting and shaking their fist at the screen throughout the film, which somewhat detracted from our enjoyment. I did start to find though, and yes I know this just emphasizes that I am now too old, I found it was so, so loud it was uncomfortable.

Heh heh - well, I'm like that with music these days J enesis :)
I used to love going to Concerts where it'd be so loud your feet could feel the bass through the floor and parties where very loud Rock was playing... and such schizz.

These days 'Sheep May Safely Graze' by Handel at a very modest setting is more up my street.

Such is life *sigh*

Quite odd really, as in the case of my husband, his hearing is definitely not what it was - not that he will admit to that - you would assume then that the louder everything is the better the older you get. I also find with yet another symptom of declining years, that I find myself saying `this music nowadays is rubbish, it was much better in my day, at least it had a decent tune to it`. I can remember my father saying similar when I played my 45`s at full volume on my red and white vinyl record player

Oh Lordy, me too !!

(Was yours a Dansette? Mine was blue and white) :P

We have a very defined family history of deafness in the right ear ... I didn't escape that fate and invested in one of those teeny weeny little hearing aids that you stuff inside your ear (no external contraption like the free ones).

Mostly it helps me hear my hair swishing, and my clothes rustling, and is generally a little bit annoying.

No I don`t remember the name, but I was so proud of it. It went on the moment I got home from school and stayed on till bedtime.

Oddly enough my hearing has improved since I had an operation to correct a perforated ear after a nasty ear infection. Not sure what he did, but can definitely hear much better in that one now than I did previously.

I just read your post about the lady in the powder blue anorak .... gave me a wry grin.
I've had similar experiences whilst out and about with the furries.

The funniest one was when I took our now-11-years-old Jack to Socialisation classes as a puppy. One of the ladies (it's nearly always females, I've noticed) breezed in wearing pristine white trainers and a (very nice I must say) cream tracksuit.

One of the puppies was so excited it puked, hers danced in it, then jumped up and down her legs with inevitable results.

I'm guessing she was a first time puppy owner to make this rash (and rather rookie) decision on her attire.

Yes and I expect she too , through gritted teeth said, ` Oh that`s ok. Don`t worry , just an old thing I`ve thrown on`.
Our puppy class was a complete waste of time and £150.
The trainer stood at the front waffling on for most of the times we went, and we never got to do anything with the puppy, and part of her advice was to give him zen walks, which entailed walking slowly with him but not to utter a sound or speak to him the entire time, and this would make him enter a zen like calm and he would be trotting peacefully at our heels at the end of it. Not quite the result we encountered, we just saw a ginger arse disappearing over the horizon, and banshee yelling at him to come back became the method we adopted..

^ That gave me a good laugh.

Never heard of the Zen approach - what a load of bollocks.
I've only taken that one dog to classes - she was a wilful little cow right from Day 1 and I thought it might help her wayward attitude.

It didn't, she's still very Alpha, but at least it was a free class run by the local Vet's establishment so nothing lost.

Luckily, she's a foodie, so recall is (nearly always) successful - the lure of a doggie treat is just too much for her.

Yes, a cut up cooked chicken breast fillet a day seems to be enough to entice our Sid back at the moment. Not sure what will happen when he becomes `more of a man`, cannot have anything done just yet as he is large breed and we have to wait until his growth plates are sorted, although will look into the chemical castration for the time being if needs be, but not too keen on giving him drugs so would rather not.
