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:

Subsequently been working on speed runs ... Smashed 25 knots the other week too, but that's still very much lame duck territory.

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.
