Minister's Microphone Causes A Wee Splash At Church!

Ah, now this brings fond childhood memories for me, (or a fascination with morbidity to those whom are more conservative!) of when I was at primary school. I went to a mainstream school and was the only deaf person there. I wore an equipment called a phonic ear which basically "tuned in" to the sound of my teacher 's voice aided by a microphone that he used to wear. What he didn't know was that I could hear him from outside my classroom i.e. when he was in the staffroom and yup, you guessed it, his um, "toilet habits".

I've got to say, his "toilet habits" was an eyeopener for me, he comes under what I call, the "newspaper guy" category. Quite. It was so comical, as I didn't think it happened in real life - a bloke goes to the bathroom with a newspaper to read? (I could hear the rustling). What's all that about? What I can remember most clearly was that I had this little secret no one knew about, and I used to sometimes just burst out in fits of giggles in the playground, even now and again I still have a giggle about it!
