I hope time travel wasn’t invented twenty years ago. More people are using tiny wireless headphones these days. They’re not all listening to music, a lot of them are talking on the phone.

Carlton Television made me deaf. A couple of Craics ago, I mentioned how I took part in an interesting experiment in 2003. I’ve posted clips from it here before. This week, I came across video of the whole thing and thought you might like to see it. Craic on! Listen to the latest Mack Nuggets at; […]
