First time I've heard of thunder preceding lightning.Curiously I find that for close strikes you percieve the bang before

belt of adrenaline which messes up your sense of time and perception even
more. The timing of events in reality is, of course, flashbang but
when has perception paid any attention to reality?

(Dave L) Can't say I've ever noticed that, or that one could
not perceive the flash at all. It's the flash that alerts you, and
before you can even think, there's a bang.

(Dave C) I don't use bogus bars, only real bars, preferably
Real Ale bars, called pubs. :-) I hope Roger Brugge, the Editor of the
COL Bulletin, doesn't read this. He lives in Maidenhead but he's a
good man nevertheless.

(Lawrence) That's drummers for you. We 'bonists are
masters of intonation, rhythm and all-round aesthetic beauty. I
haven't done a gig for weeks BTW.
