Ah, I see Blaster Bates is still clearing cess pits in his inimitable manner :-)

Excellent clip thanks, and a reminder of the olden days of coarse language and before 'elf'n'afty officialdom.


For another taster of lone working, see:

Fred Dibnah - How to climb a chimney overhang at 50+


That pre-dates by a long way the now standard use of "cherry pickers" and scaffolding and safety arrester harnesses...

Stay safe folks!

Posting as I take a break from my brewroom while everything cools down.

And we're now the final corner of this race. ;-)

Cheers.

Which race?

Physical, metaphorical, or philosophical?

Suffering some sciatica hell here now after today's efforts (maybe I should've have flipped and turned that huge mattress of mine before bottling). :-(

Hopefully these few "Dark and Stormy's" that I'm having (40% dark rum + 6% ginger beer) will do the job so that I can lay down for an hour or so to hopefully get a spinal reset to occur. ;-)

Cheers.

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse...

hubble-finds-that-betelgeuses-mysterious-dimming-is-due-to-a-traumatic-outburst

The star is so huge now that if it replaced the Sun at the center of our solar system, its outer surface would extend past the orbit of Jupiter.

Massive supergiant stars like Betelgeuse are important because they expel heavy elements such as carbon into space that become the building blocks of new generations of stars. Carbon is also a basic ingredient for life as we know it.

I'm fairly certain in one recording I heard what his proposed "solution" for the safety Elf was - as one can expect not much was left to ones imagination.
(Or it might have been when i saw him live)

Would that be taking advantage of the safety 'Elf not knowing the colour of cordite or of appreciating outrunning miles-per-second?...

The US Navy created a 3.9 magnitude quake when they did an underwater detonation to test one of the Ford class carriers.

So far no progress on getting a steering column swap done.

No damage, the explosion was from some 40,000lbs of explosives as seen here.
