sounds liiiiike....

i was thinking about it whilst in line at the bay, returning the xmas gift my mum got me:

if i close my eyes and imagine it in my head, i can hear the sound of a revolver being cocked. i can imagine it with such absolute accuracy, it's really hard to explain that i have never, in my entire (ahem) thirty years of living, actually ever heard the sound... i mean, clearly, i've been witness to it innumerable times on the teev and in the cinema... but never, ever --not once-- in real life.

so... how do i know it's right ?

[did i mention it was a long line ?]
