    When I was working in Manilla there was an old building next door that was taken down that way, it took about 50 of them to remove this tower block in a month.

    The only thing that wasn't human powered was the foreman's radio.

    Mindless sh1t seems to sell, maybe it relaxes people not having to engage to any great degree with the content. George Hook for instance on radio yesterday was speaking about how people used to slip the News Of The World into their broadsheet Irish Times when reading in public. :pac:

    Guess who is about to be appointed Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission? The Daily Mail's editor, Paul Dacre. :pac:
