Thursday was a morning visit to the ear specialist,who had an Italian name which did not fill me with confidence,in the end he turned out to be very English with long distant Italian ancestors,very impressive he was and not averse to a little banter,eardrops are prescribed,and next visit is Tuesday,good thing is I can see him at the local health centre,2 miles each way.,hearing tests showed up poor,so he offered to fit me up with a hearing aid,when asked if it was state of the art ie.very small aid with a battery 12 inch square,he replied no,its a small battery but the hand held eartrumpet is about 2 feet long, one to him.
I knew he was not a "proper" Italian because he prefers tennis to football.
,and has never visited italy though as a boy he could have gone with his school,but he said his parents could'nt afford the cost.
Football yesterday was a victory to Spain ,who Sheila supported very vocally,I think she took against the Russians because they were crossing themselves in a religious manner,this after being brought up in an atheist state,makes you wonder about the sanity of the human race.
I remember a booze up with some Russian officers in Germany,and if it came to a boozing world cup there would only be one outcome Russia are unbeatable.
Cheers Graham

I don't know what all the fuss is about. You have always been deaf.
