I felt, maybe because it is on my doorstep, that it deserved its own thread. I di not really want it in between all the other crap.

not to be nasty, but once i made it to the "in Table Bay" portion of the title, i was breathing a sigh of relief... having to deal with the hilarity resulting from the strike is one thing... adding the loss of a few containers to fire is something requiring alcohol and a deserted island to deal with...

I just drove past that on the way home, wondered if they'd finally given up on that ship and decided to blow it up... :lol:

Agreed. Breaking news - Not pic of the day.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
