Because apart from the news can't remember seeing any intelligent
television.
I'll stand corrected if need be.

?Well, the point is that demolition is quite good fun to watch of course.
Quest occasionally have series about it. The biggest problem for many is the
fact that some structures were not built exactly to the available plans and
so are either stronger or weaker in certain places than they ought to be,
resulting in things falling the wrong way or just becoming unstable and
dangerous but not coming down completely.

Seems the Hastings Pier demolition had a knobhead swimmer at 35min 24 sec.

I would have just harpooned the ****.

Only with speccy taters.

Dropped an effing great RSJ on him.


I remember watching two muppets in a row boat, row out so as to get
under the main vectored thrust of a Harrier jump jet doing a hover an
move demo about 40' above the sea! It was like rowing boat tiddly winks.
Shame was they did not capsize.

Yep and if you have better things to do it's a good idea to know it's on
so you can record it or use catch-up TV.


I don't know how to do that, and I'm not interested in finding out.




But surely television is a medium for expanding ones knowledge, You could
even switch on the subtitles and improve ones spelling!


How would that work, I watched Gorky Park with Swedish subtitles and every time them meantioned alcohol as in beer the swedish translation came back as whiskey !

Whoops. Never saw him.

I know you cannot but sometimes you feel so tempted to and some people
deserve it.

Damn those documentary TV cameras:-)
