You;re gonna hate this, but I'd peel some garlic, chop it in half and sit it on the ulcer for a few minutes every hour or so. Will sting like fuck but will kill all those fabulous mouth germs that make healing take so long. Must have been a killer stew

i was actually thinking this just yesterday, that maybe my mouth is set up all funny and thats why I constantly bite myself (no jokes plees) and end up getting ulcers.

I did have a dentist say a few years back that the wear patterns on the teeth on one side of my mouth were way weird (opposite side of the tooth to normal) but I had put this down to excessive wear due to....um...extra-curriculur activities.

he did try to get me to get a plate to wear at night. i told him to fuck off.

my gripe today - rolled over last night and POP, there goes a muscle in my back. waking up every time I moved last night = no sleep. walking like a robot today. talking in bursts because the musle spasm is interfering with my breathing.

not having much luck this week

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 11:09 am

dude!

That's rough.....

I think I had some form of mis alignment scenario about 5 years back, it had an acronym name like TJH or something, I too put this down to extra curricular activities and never thought anything of it

don't get excessive ulcers though but I do grind my teeth in my sleep sometimes

GOTD: people who perpetually drink/drug themselves into oblivion and then have the nerve to bitch and moan about it all week.

Not talking about peeps on here, but people I deal with at work who are dragging the vibe down.

not everyone can justify/afford $350 for headphones dan.
I'm not saying they can or should.... just pointing out the you are wrong if you thought they were the best.

there ARE some good cheaper brands around better than [cheap] senny's imo
please recommend.

i need something fairly small and compact, < $100, quality sound and preferably able to buy in shops.

looked at chemical records a bit, and have been so tempted so many times. just can't justify even $250. i don't produce or anything, so just for PT missions, it doesn't seem worth it. the minute i have the funds however, i will probably be swayed.

i use a pair of blueant x5 headphones from home to work, at work and back again. they'll set you back ~$90, but they only have bluetooth as a connector.

i don't take the headphones i use for mixing away from home, personally.

Dunno what these Blueant's are like, but generally you get what you pay for Ms. Witty.

Pricey headphones usually sound the best - and last.

But if cost if your main factor, you may have to sacrifice a little audio quality.

I'd rate the Technics 1210's for listening and DJ'ing, Sennheiser HD25's for production/DJ'ing.

But both these models will be around $250 unfortunately.

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 11:45 am

Why do you rate the Technics above the Senns for listneing.

I can't wear technics for mroe than an hour or so, they hurt my head and fatigue my ears.

Pefect for DJing though.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 11:47 am

I reckon the Senny HD-25s are the best portable headphones I've ever had - they simply do not die. Ive had mine going on 2 years now and whilst the padding is starting to wear a little bit... yeah they're great.

I like the extra bass in the 1210's. Not the 1200's.

I used to have a pair many moons ago (before some cunt at the Laundry stole them... free gig and all!)...

1210's also cup the ears better.

But I have pretty small ears

Horses for intercourses perhaps!?

A new set of HD25's yes. $50 for a thin wire is pretty fucking rich though.

And I think that the wire I'm after is more like $60-70 RRP.

a normal one, but its recessed, so it will only take headphones with jacks that are a certain width (same as apple headphones) and that are straight up and down. If the jack shoots the cable out to the side - such as with HD25 - then its a non starter).

obviously designed to preclude people from using anything but the apple headphones. annoying because as we know they prob wont last very long.

apparently you can buy an adapter so it will take other headphones, but I don't have that, and fairly certain I would have to get it OS, at least until July.

Do they really have extra bass? all the specs I've seen (when I was buying mine) were exactly identical apart from the cord?

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 12:11 pm

spiesy - yeah, that's not that cheap for a bit of wire....

and Mrj - what a bugger! smart on apple's part, but an annoying feature for the consumer none the less.

Pretty sure mate.

That's why I paid the extra $50 for them at the time.

what's the connection on the new iphone James? is it bluetooth?

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 12:23 pm

Hmmm... can't find any data to support the extra bass in the 1210's.

Maybe DMC stitched me up at the time

You can also get HD25s with the straight jack rather than the right-angled jack.

Have just bought my second pair. A few of us in the office ordered some from the UK. $248.00 all up (inc. p/h).

Very impressed with first pair. Treated them like shit, rode with them in blizzards, -20 degree days (killed battery life of ipod but headphones worked fine), crash-landing 40-foot jumps, sitting on deckchair in shallows of ocean in SA on 40 degree day for weeks over Xmas, banging around in bag. Still work aces (admittedly my neglect has killed the foam and loosened the holder on one of the cans).

your ipod works finein -20C? nice! my phone usually starts dying if i take it out to have a conversation below -25C or so. though that was my old one and this one gets far hotter (yay), so maybe it's good to -35C or something.

Nah, battery started to shit itself at -20. Had to tuck it in my bra to keep it warm enough. Only a few seconds (.... the length of time it takes to shuffle to a new playlist....)out of its home and it would die again.
