if you were swimming in the bay you will probably now get a throat infection. You should have just laid on your side and let gravity do the work.

Ear infections are bollocks.

I tend to get them like every couple of months. Main culprit is water getting stuck in ur ear hole.

Feel your pain mate.

yeh dude is easy to get the water out

just tilt your head to the side and jump up and down on one leg. looks ridiculous but gets the job done.

btw how can you not know of this technique, I thought it was a basic instinctual human thingy.

My method... easiest performed when coming out of the water... smack that ear in the water, as in a sidewards headbang, and the water usually comes out first time.

I guess you could try the same in a sink, bucket or bath.

I am not sure if anyone has said this yet, but usually it is best when you get out of the water to shake your head on the side the water is trapped. This works.

or you can put instant coffee in the microwave at home which will create a wormhole/time vortex through which you can jump and return in time to a point which precedes the moment you got in the water and convnice yourself to not get in the water/wear ear plugs.

you must be careful of not creating a rift in teh time/space because even the smallest change to historical events could have terrible consequences, and you may return to the future to find that Biff has now married your Mum and runs hill valley which now has legalised gambling and a quasi-futuristic/apocolyptic appearance not dissimilar to that episode of Buffy where the chick who is played by Charisma Carpenter is sucked in by that wish demon and wishes that Buffy never came to sunnydale and sunnydale ends up as full rave headquarters for like half of the demons in North America and then Giles dies.

Nice one Mr J.

I've always found heating up Milo in the microwave works beter than instant coffee. Also improves electric guitar playing prowess when travelling back in time, although I would prefer some beat mixing skills so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Earplugs optional unless swimming in dodgy water.

Ancient Greece is not ready for scratching and double drops. The Phoenicians might be into it though.

mad episode



i am shocked you haven't heard how to get water out of your ear either. is this the first time you have gone swimming or somethin? crazy!

just lay on your side for a bit, and it will dislodge. no need to go to the doctors, but if you do, ask them to use the ear vacuum cos its well fun.

You really just need some 'Aqua Ear'.

That clears up "swimmers ear". It's available from most pharmacies I think, you just drop droplets into your ear... can't remember how long it takes to clear up though.

Aqua Ear is the BUSINESS!

Use it for Scuba

should dry it out almost straight away - it's an alcoholic solution that extracts/dries out the water in your ears to avoid infection.

Inner or middle ear infection are nasty things - avoid like the plague cause you can say bye bye to balance

Maybe extracting teeth will reduce pressure on ear dums and water will flush out any bi-carb residue.
