i did my honours dissertation on the history of embankment dams and designed a dozen large dams several years ago. So to Answer the original question, no it should not have collapsed by now but it still could. Getting the water away from the erosion was the first critical item and then...

The greatest feats of Victorian civil engineering is the bits none of us see - the most important thing ever done is the provision of clean water and the removal of sewage. Bazalgette’s work is so much more fundamentally important than anything Brunel or Telford ever did. Without water being...

Right enough enough ... I’m bored and am going home

Transfer windows now also appear to have a hierarchy - Now Real Madrid have started (ffp doesn’t seem to apply to them) then Barca have a go, then PSG have a go, then the big 6 (oops meant 5 as Leavy won’t spend anything until last day of window if at all) (oops oops meant 4 as Chelski not...

I see the bbc says Hazard is off to Real Madrid for stupid money. What a shame not because I like Chelsea but he was the best player Ive ever seen live - never the same watching a player on the tv. That performance against us in 17/18 was outstanding.

Once had a burger in WSU that was luke warm at best, went back and said I wanted a warm one, next one was colder, went back again. Made them call manager to check temperature as I ate my third alternative (a pie), manager arrived, thermometer stuck in a couple or burgers then all burgers...

I read an article a couple of months on Sisu in one of the broadsheets and how they operate, they use the full power of the law for their benefit - you really have to feel sorry for all Coventry fans.

When I were a lad, Charlie Nicholas was outstanding at Celtic (seen as kenny dalglish’s heir for Scotland) should have joined Liverpool or Man Utd. Instead chose London for the bright lights and had at best had an ok career, such unfulfilled potential

The OP also appears to have forgotten that the future king lost his mother when only a boy, so not surprising he may have mental health issues. I still to this day think could I have done more 26 years ago to save someone I loved from taking their own live, I never want anyone else to go...

Just recently had client feedback on a major construction project were kicking off at present - mental health is huge and may now be responsible for 40% of HSE items on construction projects - all down to bullish stiff upper lip mentality, long hours, tight deadlines, living away from home. So...

Yes, couldn’t believe it over a person I’ve never met

I just thought we were outplayed by an outstanding team, there passing and movement was superb, great turn and goal by Mahrez for no.3 and no.4 was a great free kick. We did well to limit them. Thought they had more chances in first half but great defending. Players might as well have come off...

Wow, I cant believe that just happened. Liverpool with no Salah or Firmino. Football miracles do happen now that 28-1 on Albion to beat Man City on Sunday looks tempting

....this is really sad to read, most Scots don’t want to leave as we recognise the economic benefit that we are stronger as part of a Union with England (and its larger economy) but as England doesn’t see the same effect of being in an Union with a larger economy ( say like the EU) then we’d be...

Unfortunately this day Cameron decide to have the EU vote this was always going to happen. The stronger together campaign made a big thing out of us not being allowed in the EU, well that threat has gone.... I always found UKIP highly ironic as there reason for existing will actually probably...
