I randomly copped an ear ache two years ago after not having one since I was about 8-9. The pain was horrendous and I felt so weird at work not being able to hear people properly.
Then copped another two last year, and had pain and a blocked feeling for months. Eventually needed surgery to drain the sticky fluid that had accumulated and put in a grommet to prevent further ones again.
They're the worst.
i love scooping our ear wax with a hair pin
I actually liked Australian Idol and to a lesser extent X Factor in the early days. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now though. Guy Sebastian is the only one who has made any sort of a career out of it. These shows are basically just karaoke contests.
quite true. well its always been about kareoke.
In the early days they at least pretended that it was about the contestants - these days they are all just platforms for blatant self promotion for the judges.
i think it became about the judges after a few seasons in idol. then that osteoperosis crazy judge holden went coco bananas with his mannerisms then it was on for young and old.
the judges talk up the hopes and dreams of their contestants, filling their minds with images of fame and fortune. then the record deal as a prize in conjunction with the promised land. post contest the judge is no where to be seen.
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't
shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be
