With great responsibility (hopefully) comes great power, as my auntie Ben used to say. I'd rock it.

It's-a you, Mario?
Because things will get better.
If you build it, they will porn.
The sound of an English country garden on a Sunday in summer.
This is a composite of several sounds all of which must be quiet or distant enough to not be a distraction but which in conjunction are glorious:
- childrens’ laughter just far away enough to not be bothersome
- bees buzzing from flower to flower
- a propeller-driven light aircraft from a nearby aerodrome (ideally this would be a vintage plane with a Merlin engine, gently warbling in the distance)
- the sound of leather on willow, and the occasional call and muted cheer, from a cricket match on the village green
- the gentle burble of a stream
- church bells, far enough away that their individual peels almost blend into each other
- the clink of ice as someone pours a perfect gin and tonic.
fathom
Also a unit of measurement.
Depends entirely who's done the choosing and on what basis.
