Finest sights in life

[Tooting Gull]

A bit of imagination will clearly go a long way in this.

But just for now, I'm going to say a greyhound with a lot of your money on it overhauling the leader on the back straight, powering round the corner and then for once not running too wide and closing it out on the run-in. Beautiful. Beats your fancy sunsets any day of the week.

1) Freddie Flintoff roaring in and obliterating the stumps of the bewildered Aussies (2005 mainly).

2) The look of delight on some Doctors faces when we presented them with tonnes of medicine and syringes.

3) A room full of blind africans singing (and laughing) to welcome our touring party.

4) Lidl (in Bristol), after a two day cycle slog from Hammersmith.

5) The first set of breasts you saw (live), in person (usually!).

6) Monica Bellucci.

Well mine is very similar except I have mine on video of my dog exploding from the boxes and being 3 lengths in front 20 metres out of the boxes.

Comming to the home straight the commentator booms out "and comming to the home turn Yob's Prince has EXPLODED away, it's a minute back to the rest of the field".

And he went on to win by 12 lengths :yahoo:

That's a fairly liberal interpretation if 'finest sights in life'!

Far view from the Hubble telescope. Those are galaxies not single stars. To put that in perspective, our galaxy is said to have 500,000,000,000 stars in it. . .

Which brings us back to Olbers' Paradox. If there are an infinite number of stars in the sky giving out an infinite amount of light, how come it gets dark at night?

Since you want a bit of imagination, I won't lower the tone with some of the fine sights I think most of us like to enjoy.

And leaving fancy sunsets aside (because there are so many places you could be in the world where the scene is quite spectacular), I'll leave you with these thoughts.

Being in a helicopter flying barely 300m over the Arizona landscape, and the subsequent feeling as you literally fly over the Grand Canyon - how can you describe the concept of such a vast, deep hole in the ground like that? The helicopter is the best way to experience it.
Dwayne Leverock's quite splendid slip catch to remove that opening Indian batsman. Ever seen a 25 stone plumpazoid fly like a gazelle? Go and have a look on youtube.
The feeling when your parachute opens during your first jump. You go from ultra nervous exhileration and fear, to relaxed admiration of the world below.
Pontings face when he wrongly given out - just a few days after moaning about gamesmanship

Isn't that to do with the relative speed we see the light being given out bty the stars. We're seeing light that is billions of years old in some cases.

I have usually had a couple by this time - but the sight of a table full of Harveys - when everyone in the group is drinking pints of the stuff. For that moment the world is as it should be.

I thought it was because the Truff had drawn the curtains.

Aye, something like that - I think. Olbers' paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
