Bit of a weird one this. I've not heard or read about anyone having this problem.

I have BAHA implants (abutments) on both sides. I take the processors off for bed of course, but I still get very loud "tapping" noises in my abutments from the pillow.

There is nothing wrong with the abutments themselves; I've had them for years now, they're implanted very well and don't move.

The only thing I can think of, is the threads in my pillow "twanging" against the abutment as I slightly move during the night (like when I breathe!). It's not the occasional tapping noise, it's lots of them, all the time.

My cure is to wear a sleep mask which covers the abutments, and stops the rubbing (like a sock prevents the skin rubbing against the shoe).

Does anyone else have this? Am I the only one?

Coming back from the lake District yesterday to Preston, I wondered what might happen if the train goes the wrong way. The driver obviously knows what way they should be going but can't control the points.

What happens if somehow the points are set for the train behind, and we go in the wrong direction, presumably under a green light?

Can it happen? Does the train stop and reverse?

Cheers all.

Edit: Just to say a big thanks to everyone that contributed. I learned a lot! It just goes to show how much safety is thought of in any circumstance.

Watching the WC at the moment (who isn't?!), and noticing that when the players get down to the table, their eyes look at the cue ball, and the object ball, but not the pocket. When I play, I look at the pocket too, but this could be one of many reasons why my maximum break is 8, and I'm not a potential world champion.
