yer what?

Posted by dogpossum on May 20, 2004 5:54 PM in the category

it was only recently that i discovered that the bit in your ear that gets blocked up is not 'yer station tube' but the 'Eustachian tube'.
i'm only mildly disappointed that there are no trains involved.

nearly 30 years of ear infections from swimming too much and living in tropical climates and suddenly things change. it was truly a revelation. thanks, dr flowers, thanks.

you might also care to know that my father and his mother (the nanna) refer to their ears (or anyone's ears, really), as 'yers'. i don't know if it's a Welsh thing, or a trying-to-be-a-toff thing, or just a weirdo family thing. but i know i'll be surveying welshies when i'm there for the wedding in july. my readers need to know.
