Disaster for Smaje/Kerr/Lunt
A few snaps (literally in some cases) to peruse on Friday afternoon involving disaster for those involved. Unfortunately it doesn't include the Daniels dislocation shots (forgotten them) but I've included the equally serious incident when I ripped my skiing trousers. I was helicoptered off the slope and flown to the emergency darning unit in an Alpine hospital. Despite an insulating fluff transfusion, the trousers tragically became unsuitable for use and now reside in the great ski wardrobe in the sky.
By popular demand. Don't zoom in under any circumstances.
Kerr-splat!! (give me a break)
Daniels manages to stop laughing for just longenough to take a photo of my face first wipe out.
Ripper. Can someone explain the lyric to me? Why does living by the river mean that he has no fear when London is drowning? Drowing in something else? Beats me anyway.

T'interweb tells me:
The line, "London is drowning and I live by the river" came from a saying in England that if the Thames river ever flooded, all of London would be under water. Joe Strummer was living in a high-rise apartment (in a tower block on the World's End Estate next to the Thames), so he would have been OK.
Have wondered about that for years.
apparently the clash were very popular in yorkshire, and those decent yorkshire folk quickly adopted the band as their own.
they really were the clash of the tight'uns.
sorry, that is terrible, but just think how else i could have framed this joke and still kept the same punchline. thank heavens for small mercies.
i'm going to bed now. night.
I heard that a dispute had broken out between neighbouring solariums in Bangkok. It was the clash of the Thai tans. (Sorry.)
