A rock band is five musicians and kills your ears so you don't care. The loudest noise in 19th century Europe was distant cannons.

It took five months to establish that I had prostate cancer because I had to attend a series of tests which the hospital could only arrange at five or six week intervals. They could all have been done in one day quite easily. I had a flow test last week. It took a minute. Then I had to drink a gallon of lime cordial in the waiting room and an hour later took another one.
