Well my contribution is for all of you who are closet (or not) pyromaniacs, the Royal Society of Chemistry Lecture entitled Fire and Flame from 11 years ago, don't worry it is up to date chemical reactions don't go out of fashion. This is a yearly lecture somewhat like the Royal Society Lectures just by a more specialized learned body, this one is about burning stuff and blowing shit up... the reason most chemists are chemists.

1971, and the BBC reports from the town of Youlgreave! In particular, their incredibly dedicated tug-of-war team.

The coach appears to urge them to 'push', when, clearly they are pulling.

[crissdee]

Pushing on the ground, all they do is hold on to the rope, the effort is with the legs.

Thanks! That was puzzling me, too.
