But we are on Daylight Savings time here. How many hours is it between London and New York?

I downloaded teamspeak at the weekend, dug out my old (but never used) headset - acquired from previous employer, thank you your majesty, just need someone to talk too :wah:

Just got 1946 so will be figuring that out tonight but hoping for some online SH3 one day in the not-too-distant.

... I say never used, it's been in the garage for a couple of years and a mouse obviously took a liking to the padding...:-?

Back to the first post, yes, I knew, I use it all the time... :know:

You could remove the padding and make new ones out of cotton (say from cotton balls wrapped in plastic wrap in an 'O' shape) then cover it in a sheet of linen held on by a twist tie that will hold it on to your head set.

Yep heard of that one. I know some Brit FAA carrier pilots flying propjobs killed a MiG or two in Korea too.

It's not a Gucci 'proper' headset, just a cheap Labtec one-ear and a mic thing, but there is no padding left, I removed the remnants this morning. It's the ear-comfort I'm worried about not the staying on my headness... if it were just that I'd use tape! :DL

You're right then, it's seven hours difference. I don't know what I was thinking, but then I rarely do.

Yea... what I was describing would make it more comfortable to wear. Basically I was saying make a new ear pad out of drug store cotton and hold it on with a sheet of linen or gauze.
