No harm in dreaming. It's like when your first two numbers come up in the lottery and you start thinking about how you'll spend the money. Then the third ball comes out and it's back to reality.

It doesn't always go to plan: http://www.ameriquefrancaise.org/media-668/12_Etat_du_pont_apres_l_ecroulement_du_29_aout_1907_LARGE.jpg The Quebec bridge disaster of 1907. On graduation Canadian engineers are presented with and iron ring to constantly remind them of their responsibilities to society. It is widely believed that the rings are made of iron from the collapsed bridge.

Only two places aren't there? They're going to have to try really hard to make sure they go down.

A journey of a thousand miles...

Nice

We've done it a few times towing a caravan, mainly northbound. It's not too bad, the viaduct is curved and there are glass strip screens on either side that shield you from the vie a bit. If my wife can take it, anyone can. Number 2, the viaduct at Garabit: Built by Eiffel and opened in 1885.

Right, let's start a collection. Number 1 the Pont du Gard. Strictly speaking an aqueduct rather than a bridge but an incredible piece of engineering that has stood for two thousand years. If I had built that I would have been rather pleased with myself. There is a road bridge that was added alongside the lower tier and completed in 1747. http://www.samplace.net/timeout4/The_Pont_du_Gard_Roman_Aque.gif

A handful in the stalls, quite a few in the circle: http://www.mayflower.org.uk/ShowPage.aspx?id=25906

That might explain his delay in signing. Perhaps he was too busy?

I love bridges. I must try and think up my own list of favourites, ones I've seen and ones I'd like to see.

Concessions for seniors?

But he got a new job within two months so perhaps he was wise to settle.

I'm certainly not an expert but don't you cook them first, then freeze?

I never took you for an old lady, KRG.

Indeed. I won't get carried away but I shall enjoy it while it lasts.

Quite so.

Can't blame him. I know I was in the first half.

Mandatory yellow.

One good pass out to their left winger.

We never got out of second gear.

Pulling back by grabbing a shirt. Or shorts. Yes, he's a good, solid pro, an important of the squad.

You could say the same about tossing a coin.

Exactly. Usually it's the last game or two that do that.
