No. Doing some apnea dives off a point in Jervis Bay and I suddenly notice the 'silence' underwater and decided to swim to the rocks before rising the 15m up to the surface to get out. Told me mate and he was like 'yeah right Roll Eyes

' and the following weekend at the same point he was dragged 20m underwater when the big female Whitey took his catch line. "You were right Xav!" Shocked

he admitted.

Walk in on people in a room and if goes quiet, you know they were talking about something or someone that shouldn't be talked about.

Etc, etc.

Edit: In a political or even Media culture - silence is easy to notice. Wink

Wonder how long I would be able to last in there with my mild tinnitus from working as a mechanic in tenpin bowling centres for 30 years?

It doesn't bother me and I can usually just ignore it but I would never be able to experience 'true silence' anymore.

Is this you bowling?

No.

I used to bowl regularly in leagues until I started work as a mechanic in 1988.

I'm assuming you've never worked as a bowling centre technician but after you start working as one the last thing you feel like doing is bowling in leagues or even social bowling (except for the occasional quick game to test a machine after working on it).

Other techs that I've known over the years gave up bowling in leagues because once the bowlers knew you worked there they would 'swoop' on you with their tales of woe about what they believe is wrong with the lanes or machines every week.

No. But I'm sure it can linger with nowhere to go.

The best fart is the one in the elevator where you get out at the next floor and as the doors close - say to the person in the front of the pack "You dirty bastard!" Angry

How dare you. But I'd just like to hear the pure timbre of my fart unmolested in this world of noise pollution.

Man he stunk as if he had saved that one from the first world war. I still remember coughing as if he had done something really bad to me, more than for a joke. I've never fallen for that one since.

A philosophic POV? Is one's fart real f it's only heard by the emitter? Like a tree falling in a quiet room?
