I store all the conversations I have with people in a small leather wallet and then listen to them again when I get home.

I mean brickwork/structures in general.
Not buying it.

This reminds me of this fella on Nationwide that could jump on eggs. And walk on water. Cringinly bad.

Right, house as a huge tape recorder. Easy to replicate then, how is this done? Many of use can repeat this and prove it for you.
I was actually referring to the the disused train tunnel.

So, I'll go with the ghost train which was mentioned earlier then. wink

It was an article I read years ago. There was certain evidence to suggest that old brick structures could retain certain sounds and actually release them again in years to come.

That's in its crudest form, but it's all I remember about it.
Absolute fking codswallop.

Fine. As I say, I'll go with the ghost steam train instead then.

It's fine by me. wink

I always thought that structures such as houses and tunnels in this case could possibly store noise over time, and occasionally will release that sound, or something like that.
I don't even... WHAT!?

Yes but it's not a massive surprise that someone who believes it also believes the invisible man blew on their arm. Some people seem to have an allergic reaction to simple logic.

I was trying to offer an explanation for the alleged sound of a steam train heard by staff at the local B&Q (something even I find hard to fathom).

The article has been found, thanks to Chebble (a few posts above yours if you haven't seen it).

Wish I thought of that, I usually lug a large brick wall around with me.

I find the summer annoying - as the heat rises the house starts to release the sounds it has stored during the winter. Last year I had an irritating cough that didn't go for weeks, this is now being played back by the house at the moment.

No, but then why point out it was a tunnel after structures in general?

And no, not talking about Tom.

Because it related to a question I was asked.

I didn't say it wasn't. I basically said I read something about it years ago, but couldn't remember too much about it.

Is everyone narked enough now? It doesn't take much around here.

In general terms, the sheer lack of critical thinking skills in the world today is utterly depressing.

We have the ability to build space stations, yet billions of people just believe utter tripe without a shred of evidence to back it up. Gods, ghosts, sound storing tunnels, horoscopes, psychics, feng sui, homeopathy, the list of drivel people routinely swallow seems endless.

I think that people believing crap that just isn't true is the biggest threat to humanity that we face.

It's worse than that. You only need to spend about 20 minutes doing research into faith healers and their dreadful practices. Milking money from the desperate and weak-minded. Convincing parents of sick children that, for an appropriate consideration to their cause, they will heal their sick child, ultimately leading to the child's death. And these people get away with it, knowing full well that they're strongly contributing to misery, suffering and death and charging for the privilege. I hope every single one of these sick bds suffers from a slow, lingering, humiliating and deeply painful death.
