Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Or imagine this scenario.

"And here at dtd, this is the Final Table Line Up.

Seat 1 - Ironside
Seat 2 - Steve Reid

Seat 3 - Dave Smith

Seat 4- it's a secret....."

See? - it's not that easy.

Yeah do i get a prize, if i guess whats suspicious about this line up.

Behave. I don't want Iron throwing a strop, too.

Anyway, he might Final......

seat 2- Steve Reid Read, i am easily offended....LOL

[Eck]

Then again, if we don't mention him by name, the dtd Update - which last month attracted over twice the Traffic that an EPT Update did on the same day - will look a bit odd. We could give him an alias - "Anon" has been suggested - yeah, that'll fool everyone! - or "Mr X" - ditto - or even, Princestyle, TPPFKAMc.

How about Voldermort?

(guess who's is reading Harry potter to the wee one at bedtime  )

............ if less than 10 runners turn up............

 Mick said tonight that he'd be wearing a blonde shirt on Saturday, & if he does, we offer him our thanks.

I just don't get it, ....he want nothing to do with Blonde/updates etc, threatening this and that (LMAO).......yet he was proudly announcing  last night that he going to wear a "Blonde sponsored Pro" shirt, and maybe a blonde wig.

Joking or rather bizarre ??

I'm indebted to his Royal Flushness for sending me this amazing story, & amazinger pics. Transport & Machinery Geeks only, please.

Ahhh! The old "Ship with legs" trick eh?

[Laxie]

Not a woman on the planet who can compete with those legs.  That's Tikay's morning sorted.

I wrote & thanked Chopper Flush, & asked him how he knew I'd enjoy that so much.

He replied....

"It must be like porn to you".

I replied - but I'd better not repeat what I said. And yes, Flushy can now blackmail me, sigh.

admittedly..it is quite cool

This is a cool ship:



http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/ships/Yamal_ice_breaker.htm

Some interesting points:

• Power is supplied by two pressurized water nuclear reactors, each contains 245 enriched uranium fuel rods. Each reactor weighs 160 tonnes and are in a closed compartment under reduced pressure - in the event of a leak, the leak would be in and not out.
• Maximum fuel use is 300g of heavy uranium isotopes per day when breaking thick ice. Reactors hold 500kg each when fully fuelled, enough for about 5 years.
• The reactor cores are used to heat water up and produce pressurized steam at 30kgcm2. Each reactor has four boilers, each set of four boilers turn two steam turbines, which spin three dynamos each (confused yet?, that's 12 dynamos in total).
• The dynamos supply electric motors which are connected to the propeller shafts. Each motor can supply 25,000 shaft horse power to its screw of which there are three. So in all, the ship can develop 75,000 shaft horse power or 55.3MW - enough electricity to supply a town of 18,750 homes
• Air bubbling system to help ice breaking. Jets 9 m below the surface can deliver 24m3s of air.
• Polymer coatings, specialized hull design, and the rapid movement of ballast water (pumps can move 1m3 (a tonne) of water per second) all these help in moving through and breaking ice.
• The cast steel prow is 48cm thick at its strongest point, that's about the same as the diagonal measurement of a 19" computer monitor.
• The hull is double with water ballast between the two. The outer hull is 48mm thick armoured steel where ice is met and 25mm elsewhere.

WOW..how many guys does it take to row that thing?

Within half an hour of me making a post this morning it had been reproduced on his blog.  For someone who wants nothing to do with blonde and is 'getting bored' of it all, he seems to be checking in on a regular basis .  I've not commented on any of this business before as it wasn't any of mine.
