You could try the number you rang to register...

His name is Davide Rossi and apparently eveything you hear is played on one instrument. He has an electric cello that can reach all the necessary notes.

Chris Martin reminds me of... your friends very excitable toddler that you're babysitting. Cute and everything... but you're glad you're not around it all the time (how does Jonny cope :confused:)

Your room mates may laugh, but you're amongst your own kind here :)

Chandler and Joey get freaked out seeing Carol breastfeed so Ross decides to talk to them: Ross: What's the matter with you two? It's the most natural, beautiful thing in the world Joey: We know, but there's a baby sucking on it.

Oh my God, I never even noticed!!! Thanks for pointing it out :cool:

I know... I think I need to seek help - maybe I should try the Oracle :\

I'm still concerned about the final vote - depending on where in the world posters are, they might miss out because of the time difference. And will there only be 25 votes?

Well you know what they say; the early bird catches the worm! If I don't win, i still have my tix for the Echo Arena in December - only 125 days to go :smug:

Ooh, I like your thinking - it gives me hope! My boyfriend won't be happy though - he was hoping it would all be over by the time he gets in from work... I banned him from calling me all day incase the BBC are trying to get through :laugh3:

Guess I've been hanging around you for too long - the puns are spreading :rolleyes:

I first heard Lauren Laverne talking about synaesthesia on Jonathan Ross' radio show about a month ago. Today I read this on the BBC website. If you go to this page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7545888.stm You can play the test to see if you hear anything. 'Can anyone hear that picture?' US scientists have discovered people who can "hear" what they see. The rare form of synaesthesia - a condition where senses intermingle - came to light after a student reported "hearing sounds" from a screensaver. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology then found three more people with the same condition, New Scientist magazine reported. Those affected performed better in tests of recognising visual patterns than those without the condition. A more common form of the condition is being able to perceive numbers or letters as colours. It's common to find people who have it the other way round - so they see colour when they hear music Dr Julia Simner, Edinburgh University Several artists have been linked with the condition, including David Hockney who is able to see colour when listening to music. Dr Melissa Saenz discovered the phenomenon when a group of students were being shown around her lab and one asked if anyone else could hear a pattern of moving dots on a computer screen. When she questioned him further she realised he matched the criteria for synaesthesia - he had experienced it all his life and it happened with lots of different moving images. By sending the moving dots image to hundreds of other volunteers, she found three others who could also hear sounds, such as tapping, whirring or whooshing, when watching it. Tests To double check they did have synaesthesia she tested their ability to recognise a series of visual patterns. They either heard a pair of series of beeps or watched a pair of a series of flashes and had to say whether they matched. Both groups were accurate 85% of the time when they heard the pattern. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Can you hear these dots? But when watching it, the individuals with synaesthesia remained 85% accurate while the others dropped to only 55% accuracy. Dr Saenz said: "I was surprised to realise this particular form had not been reported before and I wanted to see how common it was. "The goal of the study was to objectively determine if the sound perception was real." Dr Julia Simner, who researches synaesthesia at the University of Edinburgh said some forms of the condition were more common than others. "It's common to find people who have it the other way round - so they see colour when they hear music. "The very nice thing about this paper is they have been able to document a kind which we knew was out there but for which we only had hazy knowledge."
