    Has anyone ever worn earplugs to any concerts anytime?

    I'm heading to the bizkit gig and have an important few days afterwards and don't feel up to asking everyone to repeat what they're saying.

    So if anyone has can they suggest where to pick some up?

    Have never needed them myself not being a huge fan of metal/nu metal (still going?) or rock. Although after my first ever gig my ears where ringing for days.

    I think you could pick them up at any of the bigger chemists. Boots maybe.

    You are going to a concert with the intention of listening to the sound yet you want to wear earplugs :confused::confused:

    I've got borderline tinnius and had to spend the last gig I went to with some tissue in my ears because of how bad the sound man was.

    I have a rule now that if the concert is indoors I'm wearing them.

    The sounds are so loud that the sound still penetrates the plugs, just not the raw 100dBs without them.

    Fairly sickened alright but no complaints about the result. Mistakes were made in the Waterford cap and they didn;t do themselves justice but the truth of the matter is Tipp are a better team in both the forwards and backs.

    The rumours that were flying around about Tommy Walsh's injury are on RTe now as well - Tipp have a real chance now.

    Well done Ger, good to see you again today.

    Didn't start well either. It was tough this year with the likes of Drogba and Lampard rumoured to miss out.

    Just finished Metal Gear Solid 4 last night. Got to about a quarter of the way through it when I bought it two years ago but never finished it. Decided to give it a go during August and really enjoyed it, although you need to know the story to really appreciate it. Probably my favourite gaming series.

    Only ever finished one game (well 3 if you include Sonic on the Megadrive and Mario on the NES) and that was Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube. Bloody loved that game. Haven't gotten into any of the current generation of consoles at all. I still play my Gamecube and Megadrive more than my 360.

    Don't worry bout it, tis only week one. I am already considering playing my wild card, i never played before so had no idea you could only have one free transfer a week, already considering using my "Wildcard".

    Second meslef in the PW one but nowhere in my other leagues. Middle of the road team thus far. Frankie Lampard is the one player I choose year in year out, monster player in FF.

    "Start as you mean to go on" doesn't go well with me. Out of my 4 defenders, I got 4 points:o

    Well I got picking him right. I thought Drogba was injured but the fecker turned up anyway. I picked Anelka instead and wasted the extra 3.5 points on Wigan players, one of them wasn't even in the squad!

    If Rooney does something for United tomorrow i'll be okay.

    I think it does get harder as you get older. I used to be quite knowledgeable about the previous generation of consoles, and what big games were coming out, but these days I am lost.

    Trying to find a venue for our wedding will be quite the task id say. Myself and the mrs to be have very differing tastes. I want to go to Lough Allen, given that that is my surname and all.
