A shot!

You mean there's more of this crap???

Great God this is an awful game.

Not much of a crowd. Are they just the cleaning staff?

A great gentleman and a great statue.

For some reason that reminds me of this: http://web.archive.org/web/20080104161307/http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/aircraft/focke_achgelis.htm 'Should the U-boat came under attack and need to 'crash' dive, the pilot pulled a large red lever above the seat. This started a chain of events designed to save the submarine without sacrificing the pilot. The towline disconnected from the aircraft, freeing the submarine to dive immediately, and the spinning rotor simultaneously departed from the airframe rotor mast. As the rotors flew up and away, they pulled a cable that deployed the pilot's parachute. When parachute blossomed, the pilot popped his seat harness and the remainder of the gyrocopter fell into the sea. After the submarine evaded the threat, it could return to the surface to pick up the pilot. If time and circumstances permitted, the pilot could release the towline without triggering the entire emergency sequence. The flyer could then ditch his Fa 330 near the submarine, or attempt to land back aboard the ship. The type of threat and the speed of its approach dictated the pilot's actions.'

Oops.

'Not proven' is a verdict that is only possible in Scotland. In England you're either guilty or you're not.

Exactly.

We've had plenty of one-footed players.

Pillocks. What's the point? But I do have the greatest admiration for those that put all that stuff up there.

Ooh, very subtle.

That has been my dream all season

Are you still married?

Yeah but somebody's got to sit in that seat

Isn't there a slight contradiction between those two sentences? We don't know what the weather is going to be but we should be concerned that we are having an effect on it? (Interesting use of 'effect' instead of 'affect' there. Was that intentional?)

Nothing about Somerset on that map.

Weather, innit.

Yes it is. I've just set my Virgin box to record it.

Well said Minty. I did a quick check yesterday and over the last couple of months or so there has been over 30cm of rainfall in the West Country. Trying to hold that back for slow release later is only going to be effective in the short term and once the water table has been elevated there's nowhere for the excess to go.

It's more a mental/concentration thing than fitness.

Nah, they'll turn it 360 degrees but that will be diluted to 36, then 3.6 ....

All I can see in that top picture are a bunch of arses.
