The Sum of All Offices

I was on a phone conference this morning - with 20 other people - all at their own desks so that background hum was the sum of all those various locations. I suspect that there was some delay between various participants meaning that there was a slight reverb as well which meant the whole thing sounded a bit other-worldly. As the conversation was quite technical it sounded like the chatter over the wires that backed the TV broadcasts of the moon landings, an ambient sound beloved by mid-90s techno-lite. I just about remember the moon landings, thinking that each one was a year apart and being surprised that time was passing so quickly.

Of course today must have a link to DT's Hamlet but for the sake of balance go and find other reviews because there is a range - more emotional depth please being the most common request. Never been a fan of Hamlet or indeed any of the tragedies but this may change my mind.
