I'm surprised the elf'nsafety mob allowed them to have that stonking great thing lowered by chopper on to that teeny tiny platform, with all those guys perched on it. Looked a bit too reminiscent of that that old pub game using skittles and a pendulum... David |

Elf and safety got at it first and created a detailed safety case several hundred pages long, each page having multiple dire warnings. So project development started and each move forward was accompanied with 17 moves back to account for each safety case item. This was a defence project, and it looked as if it wasn't going to be finished, ever, because the safety business was so onerous. Then a war broke out. Project finished in three months.

The phrase 'On balance, this is the safest of all possible options'
reads better if something does go wrong. Yes, but it still looks to me like a job where an occasional expenses claim for new underpants would be well justified. -- R |

Looked a bit too reminiscent of that that old pub game using skittles and a pendulum... Bar skittles. Or extreme shove ha'penny. At the 'plate glass' University I went to we had 'Mangold Dangling' in Freshers' Week where one team would stand on one leg on upturned crates arranged in a circle around a maypole from which hung a bale of straw which the opposing team took a turn each in swinging. There was a 'ladder', made more interesting by the losing team having to buy the winning team a drink. Towards the end it was a matter of time, would the swinging party just let go of the bale without aiming or would the targets simply fall over anyway. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember tony sayer saying something like: And a bit safer too, they sometimes use a rigging jig for this job and a few have collapsed mainly in the USofA... I notice somebody didn't trust the old spigot at all. |

Amazing! Lots of guys fell off the ESB, and it's got lots of mw dishes at the top. What goes through them is a matter of popular demand. Don't blame the architects and engineers! [You can easily google lots of ESB history!] -- Yrs, John. |
