    by the way Bogeyman, before you retire at night, do you check under the bed for the cyberman ?



    Ah! Yes! I remember OMNI - was a great magazine. I used to buy it at Paddington station to read on my regular trips down to Cardiff.

    I will be sure to check for skulking cybermen under the bogeybed.

    The theory being that air vibration oscillates the hairs on the paintbrush as the paint is being applied. A bit like a record needle.

    I think they claimed to have found the sound of Rubens's wife calling him for his dinner. Seriously!

    I remember an April 1st feature on the radio a few years ago, where they claimed to have found sound recordings made by Vikings on fish skins.

    red sky at night - shepherd's delight,
    red sky in the morning - shepherd's warning.
    red sky in the afternoon - shepherd stoned.

    when we learn how to de-code these vibrations, we will be able to hear van gogh sing

    There may not be much difference between You and Vincent Van Gogh - if we hear your singing

    There may not be much difference - between You and Albert Einstein - if we see you dancing

    There may not be much difference - between You and The Queen of England - if we listen to your heartbeats


    We're all water running into different streams - thats why its so easy to meet

    Have you ever heard Dutch radio? You wouldn't want to hear Dutch singers after that.
