Have you had a run in at SQLTeam too Rudy? I know Sean did all those moons ago. They didn't throw a party for me when I hit 1000 posts so I quit in a sulk - I understand they have not yet fully recovered from the loss.

It's not just the 'where' and the 'when' it is the 'how'.

no, i just stopped visiting their forum (many years ago, actually, so things might have changed) because of their condescending and brusque treatment of newbies

[pootle flump]

But condescending and brusque treatment of newbies of one of the perks of being a gigaposter. That, and all the women.

Coo - did you wet the bed?

As geeks I feel we should at least strive to get our terminology correct - shouldn't it be kiloposter? and when do all the women come round? perhaps it's at the 10k mark? I do need to know in advance as I might need to clean up around the place and get some sandwiches in.

I'm looking for opinions, and you are the most opinionated lot I know (most of my meat friends are liberal wishy washes that couldn't fall one side of the fence or t'other if the life of a disabled black lesbian depended on it).

I want some new earphones for exercising. Requirements:

• Shut out egregious gym music
• Don't fall out of me shells
• Look resplendent
• Equally at home when running as when performing Skullcrushers
• Robust

Ideally some cunning mechanism to prevent them getting tangled.

Thank you - that will be all.

I did a quick search on Amazon for you and came up with this neat set. They are also a rather fetching shade of yellow - how can you fail to impress. No doubt every time I go to amazon from now on, I'll be bombarded with every type of headphone, earpiece and codpiece they have on offer. To really impress though, I think you should just go to the local music college and hire a violinist to play beside you during your gym session - for full effect you should hire a pretty one and insure that she comes in black evening dress.

Thank you Mike.

I don't reckon these will work for me:

If your workouts involve a good deal of lying on your back with your head on the floor or bench, these won't work.

I did some googling of my own (of course) and am looking at Sennheiser CX300-II as well as some other brands.

I think she should probably cover the cost of that.

i have Sony mdr-e11lp earphones

"cord slider eliminates cable tangle" and it is cunning indeed

i think i paid 14 bucks for them (canadian money, of course)

[Thrasymachus]

I had some not long ago that were cloth instead of rubber covered and that helped with the tangle issue. I forget the brand.

Oh yeah, Tara. She got married and got her MVP. Good times.

I hate the world again today.

Mike, did you not read the forum by-laws? As a Moderator you are no longer allowed to fraternize with female forum participants (or male either, if that's what floats your boat).

I've never seen any earphones that incorporate a face mask.

Avoid Bluetooth. They do not work outdoors, and would be useless for running/jogging.

Vicious mother, isn't he?

He can't do that to our pledges.

Only we can do that to our pledges
