You ever seen the replica of Drake’s Golden Hinde, bear London Bridge? They circumnavigated the globe in a wooden shoebox, basically. 500 years ago almost. Blows my mind every time I see it.

If you go to Auckland they have (or had, this was 2003) a replica of a raft that carried whole families, indeed villages with livestock, from Hawaii to NZ. In fact, all across the Pacific, right over to what is now Chile. God alone knows how many thousands must have died on those journeys. 'Man must explore', was indeed the motto of Apollo 15. Not unless it's totally safe, it would appear nowadays.

Anyway - stop trying to derail the thread - bestest team ever to win the Prem, and the best looking fans too. Pyrotechnically challenged though. :emoticon-0112-wonde

It was a small fire on a balcony not the building burning down like hysterical EFC fans are claiming on twitter.

The bottom 3 floors of the building has red, blue and white lights for armed forces. The entire top being blue is just an EFC thing.

Fire, started deliberately at a world heritage site.

My personal favourite, the lads nipping to cover a statue wised as a memorial to dead Everton fans wrapped in flag, a cone on it.

You can see the flowers round it, ****ing mongs.

It wasn’t just a few I’m afraid.

They were deliberately aiming fireworks at it. Here’s an example, complete with cheering

Absolute ****ing bell ends. The most iconic building of the city and the one that bears your clubs emblem ffs.

Yeah embarrassing, why is it that people constantly let themselves down? The world is chocca full of idiots. It's a pity that the Coronaviris can't be aimed in the right direction.
 
Let's remember there are idiot fans in every club though, I don't want to make excuses as I completely agree that the people gathering are idiots but it would be the same at every club imo. It's the group's within that behave they way they do that makes everyone look bad.

Kopites being Kopites.

Nothing more than standard. Albeit firing fireworks at the building that carries what sits on your ****ing shirt, because ‘bLuE LiGhTz’ is special even by your spanner fanbases ****ty standards.

You can’t even bring yourself to call it out for what it is. Instead you’ve got to make comments about the number of lights ffs, what an absolute mong.

I remember seeing a replica of Endeavour in Whitby about 20 years ago. It was smaller than a Mersey ferry. I thought 'How the **** did Cook sail around the Southern Ocean in 50ft waves and hurricane winds in that?'. And the word is not skeptic, btw - it's just a person with a complete ignorance of science and technology in this case. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

I suppose that's the consequence of the brain growing up and seeing so many sci-fi movies, where everything has to be the biggest, the best, most technically advanced craft known to man, when in reality, it just needs to be basic, light (for space exploration) and able cope with the forces of science/nature.

Although I still swear that the early Star Trek shows, created the first ever flip top phone. :cheesy:

And sliding doors - though they had two stage hands behind them doing the sliding. I read an article in New Scientist a few years ago saying that they could design a mini -sail about the size of a matchbox that could be pushed along near the speed of light to the nearest star system (Alpha Proxima), then it could beam back the info at light speed, with a round trip of @ 5 years. Cool.

Indeed, many astronomers, and some in NASA (including Jim McDivitt, the commander of Apollo 10) think manned space travel generally, and Apollo specifically was a huge waste of resources, the romance of humans being there notwithstanding. But the summary of it all is this, to me - the US spent millions developing a ballpoint pen that would work in zero gravity: The Soviets just used propelling pencils. Biggest is not always best, despite what my bucket-fannied ex might think.
