    I agree and is equally stupid as wearing sunglasses in doors or at night. Or the wearing of sunglasses perched on top of the head when the weather is overcast and not particularly bright.

    The late comedy writer Eric Sykes wore 'glasses' with plain glass. That was because they were in fact "hearing glasses" - a hearing aid for both ears in the shape of spectacles. This was long before the development of miniature 'in ear' devices.

    Guinea pigs do make the sweetest little squeak, I haven't had guineas since I was young. House bunnies take a bit of prep and care but they are so rewarding, there is nothing like taking a Sunday afternoon nap with a pair of bunnies. I'd go in and sleep on the rug in their room and wake up with them asleep by my head, so cute.

    Totally agree. I'd not heard of that before (didn't even know such things existed) but it definitely qualifies as the height of idiocy!

    What about the idiots who spend fortunes on designer baby clothes, when their kids are growing and changing size every five minutes!!

    Do they think *it* cares what they hell it's wearing...?? Using your kids as 'status symbols'. It's utterly deplorable. Shows you the kind of pathetically shallow mindset our materialistic society has propagated! Tossers, the lot of them.

    And those who spend mega bucks getting tattooed from head to foot!

    Often on benefits with minimal money and maximum kids who in turn go without to fund the tattoos (and the booze and betting).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
