Sorry fords,

From what I gather...you place the stick in the ear and light it!

Then blow it out and the heat draws all the crud n stuff up the stick!



I think that's how it works...sorry if my info is duff...blame Hubby!

sounds dangerous!

It's supposed to be a gentle heat!

You would have to read the instructions...The person who tried it said that he felt great afterwards!!

Where did he get them?

I'll get Hubby to find out....it could be after Monday before I find out

Do you only see him at weekends or something?

Ear candles.. reminds me of the ones made from Father Jack's earwax in Father Ted, The episode about the blaphemous film.
Jakell

Careful Now!

Down with this sort of thing!

So when somebody says their ears are burning, is that what they mean?

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

RF

I've often wondered... why does earwax taste so horrible? or is it just mine?
I discovered this as a child which seemed like a normal childhood discovery to me.
My previous girlfriend had never discovered this as a child. This was one of the things that made me decide that we were incompatable.. that and the fact that as a child she used to watch Blue Peter out of choice
Jakell

Blasphemous rumours? Do tell!

I think that Bob has a sick sense of humour.

RF

I see that there's going to be a real life version of the Bertie Bott's Beans....complete with earwax flavour

Well, everything counts, doesn't it Freddy?

I was hoping somebody was going to disagree with my Blue Peter comment.Something like.. Great Bitish institution etc.
Jakell

In large amounts.

Poor rhyme scheme.

Evening all

Sereph

my daughter had grommets at two to solve glue ear, she was a deaf as a post, worked a treat, she had to have speech therapy for 4 years after though, as she was deaf during the formative speech years

How are you all this fine and loverly eve?

Evening Helly

I'm ok..just in a rotton mood right now

His hearings not too bad at the mo..he did have a little speech prob though thats sorted itself out where he's waited so long for a therapist!

D now has such a high pain tolerance from the ear infections she has to be x rayed if she cries! We (the ex) and I picked up sommat must be wrong cos she never talked, and I had grommets as a kid
