You make a good point; the buds must be of the highest quality so that the end is wrapped tightly and doesn't feel like cotton wool. In reality, it's Johnson & Johnson or nothing.
Paperclips are good, but I once poked a little too far and thought for a moment that I had punctured my eardrum. This caused me to ease off pushing metal implements into my head.
There's nothing like using a paperclip and hitting a reach seam of dark brown gunge, though. Tremendously satisfying - and it feels like much better sport when you use a paperclip rather than a cotton bud.

Quinoa is absolutely, ****ing revolting.
Do you know, I've managed to get through the last few years without having knowingly consumed quinoa. It just hasn't come up.

The last time I had quinoa was at my wedding, I think.
I can't really remember it. Isn't it just sort of like cous cous?

Was there quinoa there? If so, I must have eaten it, as I consumed every scrap. Do you still have the menu?

Isn't quinoa a recent phenomenon? I would have thought that you got hitched many, many years ago (not wishing to cause offence).

Sort of, but worse.
When did rice become unhealthy?

Yes, r. If by recent you mean 3,000 - 4,000 years.

I am assuming you aren't regularly subjected to the delights of vegan cafes... :(

Nothing wrong with wholegrain rice in modest quantities.
