BBC report of power station chimneys being demolished...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-34368781 caption on video: "It took just a few seconds for the huge chimneys to come crashing to the ground" Hey, how about that, and I was expecting them to stay suspended in the air for minutes after the charges went off... |

Jim, with this post and your other ones on the noble thread are you sure you haven't been hacked by a certain forum member who very occasionally sails at a large sailing club in the Midlands.

Can't be me you cads are referring to... Been to our sailing club about 14 times in the past couple of months - initially preparing and practicing for 'the Nationals' at the beginning of September... devastatingly effective given the light winds we got:

Probably wondering what windsurfing has to do with going Dinghy sailing?

Well in fairness to Jim I don't imagine he holds those traditional stereotypes and superiority complexes over various forms and disciplines of sailing- it certainly wouldn't fit with his own eclectic (and imho very nice) choice in boats.

sadly I was planning on going to the sailing club tomorrow, but the forecast is crap... so I guess JimC has a point. :-(
