Thanks I also sometimes wonder if Raynes Park exists P entranced
Oxbridge-zounds of zilence
Probable the only silence we will ever have will be in the grave! not sure
about those worms singing anthems
Ps perhaps we need anechoic heads -all that blood pumping round echoes glops
and things
-off to talk to cat

I must say, Patrick, that's a bit Oxbridge Entrance
I'm still trying to work out how I know Raynes Park exists
Go into an anechoic chamber and the answer is no
but here I'll say yes
