    Nikko sterling are actually very good for the money (cheap) the nighteaters especially so. Get one and you'll still have enough to buy a weeks worth of mince and instant noodles possibly two weeks.

    Never got to do things like this when I went to kindy. Would have been great fun. Oh wait, I failed the entrance examinations and never went to kindy or preschool.

    Electronic earmuffs? A good set of peltor tactical pros not the small Howard Leight type. No earplugs needed and electronic amplification, even leave hearing aids in.
