I think it was them, and a very good song it is too!  :)

Asda and Morrisons cookies have always gone down well with me, if not well with my body system...

Most things made with Rice Crispies are usually all good in my books!  :D

I find the quality of the silence depends on the preceding noise....

Technically, silence is one of the rarest things you'll... hear. Not hear. Something. Anyways, even if you were on your own in a soundproof room, you'd still hear your own breathing, your heartbeat... And if you had your hearing capabilities removed, you would probably still hear the blood flowing through your ears, you'd hear interior body activity...

...I also love tuna. It's my favourite sandwich filling when mixed with mayonnaise, and my favourite pizza topping when mixed with sweetcorn! Mmm...  8-)

You know what's good on pizza? Kebab. (:-)

Thanks to a friend, I got to visit a large anechoic chamber that was used to build satellites. The room was about 4 stories high with no reverberation whatsoever.. it was indeed a weird sensation

Visted such a chamber several years ago as part of some acoustic and RFI testing we were having done.

It is very hard to describe the feeling of nothing stimulating your ear drums....it definitely doesn't feel "right". Claustrophobia in a very large room.

Of course, it wouldn't be quite the same now that my ears are picking up every internal sound. No such thing as a total silence for me anymore.... :)

In the desert, where nothing lives, does the tree that falls make a sound ?

(nothing lives other than trees OK Pedders  ;) )

Here's something I made earlier...



I intend to get it printed onto a T-shirt (somehow, probably iron-on transfer paper or something) and wear it to the Leeds DT/F* gig!  :D

Sorry it's not cake related, so I shall redeem myself by saying that hot chocolate fudge cake and custard is my favourite pub dessert.  8-)
