Hailstones and thunder.

Used to have permission from teh military to shoot rabbits on the airfields round here (wabbits cause a lot of damage to aircraft with their bolt-holes).

I remember going lamping the one night, and there were no rabbits around.
Not one.

About 3am, we decided to go the the car and get a coffee and a smoke, bite to eat, and it was only then we realised why the wascally wabbits were hiding.

Our shoelaces were frozen solid and the rubbed of the soles of our shoes had actually split.
We never noticed though because we were all wrapped up warm.

I'd rather run my sound down a string into a tin can than watch that.
You are aware Power Rangers has a chance of taking the #1 spot in the current countdown, right?
I know I voted for it.

Maybe.
I always found the opening for Star Wars III was a good test of sound and surround.
