The chimes at Westminster go - ding dong ding KLAAAANG, ding dong ding dong , ding dong ding KLAAAANG, ding dong ding dong, then the strikes of the hour sound.Dinerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632385731642361211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-71757177018789795392017-08-17T09:19:57.725+01:002017-08-17T09:19:57.725+01:00Dinero, I think that's because the bell is cra...Dinero, I think that's because the bell is cracked so you get a very messed-up set of overtones, some of which sound louder than others Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007306140530173428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-49030829737476167692017-08-17T09:06:31.606+01:002017-08-17T09:06:31.606+01:00https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BongSackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-74194551910444474112017-08-17T09:05:26.074+01:002017-08-17T09:05:26.074+01:00http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/big-ben/http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/big-ben/Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-7421244069118111742017-08-17T08:26:27.716+01:002017-08-17T08:26:27.716+01:00B, which was also my response.

At the appropriate time, an official could ask one, "What item do you use most in your drug taking?" They then switch the microphone on as the druggie says, "Bong." "I'm sorry, I didn't hear that. Say it again." "Bong." says the druggie. And so on. No doubt Simon Cowell will pinch my idea and make a reality show out of it, but don't forget, you read it here first (this is a joint production with MTG Entertainments).<br />Penseivathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891041602104672626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-491019190796824432017-08-16T22:24:45.738+01:002017-08-16T22:24:45.738+01:00"- just employ construction workers who are d..."- just employ construction workers who are deaf."<br /><br />Deaf workers are a safety nightmare on a construction site as they cannot be audibly warned of anything and it is very difficult to attract their attention to warn them by any other means.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-83693010463019414082017-08-16T19:22:05.784+01:002017-08-16T19:22:05.784+01:00Din, fascinating, which is why I said play a recor...Din, fascinating, which is why I said play a recording ("of Big Ben" was implicit).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-42092768118913992562017-08-16T17:42:59.558+01:002017-08-16T17:42:59.558+01:00Hi Mark

It sounds a discord of a B combined with C. <br />If, on a piano, middle C is played simultaneously with the adjacent B one note to the left it can be recognised immediately .Dinerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632385731642361211noreply@blogger.com
