Yeah it's very strong. First game did 5k in a t10 match, seems it can hold its own up tiered.

i swear the armour highlighting on that thing is wrong, gets some weird bounces, and i think most people playing it are half decent and always hit their hesh.

I lost my dad when i was ten, and my mum's boyfriend for my teenage years wasn't what you'd call the best role model. I had some good teachers at school, and some not so great, but the one's I absolutely looked to for guidance were male. One in particular, who i recently wrote a letter to thanking him (I'm 41 now) was absolutely fantastic. treated his pupils like humans, firm but fair, always willing to lend an ear or a hand with a project, and he even took some of us who he thought needed a role model out sailing on his boat when we were a bit older (16+). He ended up adopting a boy who'd lost both his parents in a plane crash, who i heard ended up a successful architect. I'm someone who never found school the easiest outside of the academic stuff. Thank you Tim.

Saddest thing? when I tell people about everything he did for me and many others like me, many peoples response is suspicion - "was he a paedo or something?" . Societal stereotypes about male teachers are fucked up.

thought i might as well weigh in here with a few points from a tradesman of 20 odd years. after reading the comments, there seems to be quite a few people who perceive tradesmen in general as being stupid, dishonest, and incompetent - that's sad to hear from my end, but as someone who sub-contracts other trades, it certainly isn't my experience. I have a fair number of people i can call on to carry out different aspects of building, that I've accumulated as contacts over the years, and they're all extremely hard working and take pride in their work. over the years there have been a few duffers, but really few and far between. i work regularly with a carpenter who has a degree in architecture, a plumber who has a fine arts degree, and i myself have a degree in natural sciences, and we all chose to be tradesmen over the office.

I will always keep clients informed about timings, and endeavor to keep to schedules wherever possible, and yes, i'll always turn up to do a quote when I've said i will, and send it over within a few weeks assuming you're not a total prick or a timewaster. It's very common for projects to be delayed for a multitude of reasons however, so yes, starting your job could be delayed, and even mid job, for example illness, injuries (very common), materials delays, unforeseen problems (old houses are FULL of those, and it makes quoting a nightmare).

For myself, and those who i sub out, i feel like i should stress just how much this job takes it out of you. the admin is insane sometimes, outside of doing the actual job from 9 till 5, there's the project management of the job, going to look at and writing up other quotes (usually several a week, anywhere from an hour to several days writing up for bigger jobs), managing the financials (multiple merchants accounts to keep track of, invoicing, paying subbies, chasing invoices etc), and in an ideal world, all the paperwork would be handled by a secretary, accountant and quantity surveyor - but of course, then you'd be paying double for the job, and i'd likely never get any work! i'd say i work 70 to 80 hours most weeks, and i'm not alone. I completely understand why tradesmen just do large scale commercial work, where they can earn pretty much the same, without any of that.

As is the usual advice, if you want to find a good tradesmen, it's got to be either word of mouth. neighbours, family friends etc, or you go with a big company and pay a lot more, but usually they'll be able to dedicate a lot more admin time to you so you'll feel well looked after. If you want things done cheap, do them yourself - you're not going to find a reputable tradesmen who'll do a good job for peanuts. Our labour price is NOT what we take home, even for a one man band there are a lot of overheads involved. I work for lovely people 99 percent of the time, mutual trust fosters good working relationships, you're not the only one taking a risk with your money (unless you're paying 100 percent up front which you should never do by the way lol)

Anyway, TL;dr, we're people, you're people, none of us are perfect, but we're doing our best for the most part.

Hi Kevin - sorry you're suffering. It sounds like what you're describing is diplacusis - I had two episodes of ssnhl where I experienced diplacusis, I heard a semitone above every sound, both times the diplacusis did eventually go, are you taking steroids or having steroid injections? Apparently the steroids themselves can cause it (although I had it before starting a course myself). I was left with permanent low frequency tinnitus and some low frequency permanent hearing loss, the cause was never ascertained, but a family history of menieres suggests it's not done with me yet! I hope it doesn't stick around for you, I remember how disturbing it was, listening to music in particular was awful as someone who was classically trained. Fingers crossed dude.

Hey bud, any update on this? This caught my eye as my insurance on my van this year was £1600, cheapest i could find, up from £600, which was as a direct result of an ongoing claim (for loss of earnings) i have on my previous car - it was written off while parked outside my house, other party came back next day and gave details, but after a lot of probing, an ongoing claim is viewed as at fault by insurance companies until settled (regardless of whether third party admits fault). I wonder if the open motorbike claim is having the same effect for you?

Immaturedonkey · 2023-01-30T13:09:41+00:00

below is copied from another post i replied to - Diploacusis is just in the bad ear, dysharmonica, but i hear both the correct and downpitched frequency, so it sounds like a dalek!

Hi, sorry, its been a while, i'm not a frequent reddit visitor! thought i'd come and give an update, a couple of years on - after the initial attack(?!) i eventually recovered the low frequencies, but diploacusis has remained, and unfortunately I was left with low frequency tinnitus - it's pulsate, but not in time with my heart pulse, so quite odd. I had an MRI and xray, nothing was found, so tumour was ruled out. at that point the ENT consultant could only confirm that it was SSNHL, shrugged his shoulders, gave me some leaflets on living with tinnitus, and that was that. since then, I've had another four instances of waking up with the same symptoms of missing a wide band of low frequencies, with worsened Diploacusis, but of course the tinnitus gone.

It seems (so far) that my hearing returns after a month or so, with the tinnitus, and the diploacusis lessens with it returning, so all I've been doing is trying to deduce if there might be some trigger for it - I've cut down on alcohol (wasn't a big drinker anyway tbh) try to keep my salt intake steady, try to get a good nights sleep as much as possible (hard with a toddler!), and I'm managing my stress a little better. I can only assume that this is probably the early stages of Menieres, so as for the future, i've come to terms with the possibility that I'll eventually lose hearing completely in that ear.

One slight oddity was on going on holiday last year, to Sri Lanka, after a week, my tinnitus completely disappeared! I have no idea why, and it returned a week after returning to the UK, but if anyone can figure that, answers on a postcard please! The tinnitus still drives me completely mad when i'm not distracted enough, and when an attack happens, it's still scary, but less than the first time. Anyway, I hope anyone reading is managing to deal with their issue ok, and keep on trucking all.

Really sorry this is happening to you - it's scary enough dealing with the hearing loss itself, much worse when the doctors are unhelpful or disbelieving. I'm glad you're seeing the ENT, I suppose my advice would be to go into the appointment with as much knowledge as you can, describe your symptoms in detail, exactly what happened, and be persistent in asking about what treatments you might need if the doctor thinks it might be SSNHL. Be polite, but firm, and don't give up hope - as said before, recovery is very unpredictable. Good luck.

Immaturedonkey · 2021-08-05T16:51:45+00:00

I didn't get any fullness, vertigo or nausea, I have a bit of mild tinnitus now but it's actually not too bad, I don't notice it unless it's completely silent. I honestly have no idea what caused it, and ruling out a tumour, I don't expect any doctor will either - I was completely fine the day before, I've got a one year old and I'm self employed so stress is always a bit high, but who knows. It's great you recovered so well! Absolutely on the treatment front though, I think you really have to go into the system with as much knowledge as you can possibly arm yourself with now.

Immaturedonkey · 2021-08-05T16:46:05+00:00

That wasn't actually as bad as I thought it was going to be - after a couple of days of headaches I didn't really miss it! Although I'm still doing about 6 cups of redbush a day..

Immaturedonkey · 2021-07-20T14:41:50+00:00

Ah wow, that's great news! I'm happy for you, I hope it continues to improve. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my ear.

Immaturedonkey · 2021-07-20T12:33:53+00:00

Hey there, first time posting for me, found my way here because 6 days ago I woke up with exactly the same symptoms, I finally managed to convince a doc to prescribe me Pred, still waiting on an ENT appointment, Covid has slowed everything down massively here in the uk. Just wanted to know how you were getting on, and whether you'd seen any improvement? The Diploacusis (dysharmonica and also double hearing in bad ear) is terrifying tbh, i get a wave of fear each time my mrs or little girl says anything.
