In praise of... silence In a season in which we... →

As the title warns, John Cage’s 4’33” is four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence. Soundlessness. Nothing.

Woman calls 999 over snowman theft. Police issued...

women: "There's been a theft from outside my house. I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he's gone."
operator: "Who's gone?" 
women: "My snowman. I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about, he'd be safe."
operator: "Do you mean an ornament?" 
woman: "No, a snowman made of snow, I made him myself. It ain't a nice road but you don't expect anybody to nick your snowman."
operator: this is an emergency line and you should not be ringing it to report the theft of a snowman.
