that the squad was too big and they wanted to move trdaows the Chelsea model of having a smaller (24 players) squad, all of high quality players. The players going out the door at West Ham will be the fringe players. However, this was picked up by the press and twisted to represent the Hammers needing to sell the big name signings not true! Furthermore, West Ham announced on the club website last week that they have commenced negotiations with Dean Ashton on extending his contract, which still has two years left to run. Alan Cubishley has also stated that Dean Ashton is not going.Finally, a recent survey on football rumours showed that the MOST successful paper (The Independent, I believe) had a accuracy rate of just 30%. This is not going to happen, so lets stop the mindless debate about it and concentrate on more substantive rumours.

Jim, my business is in the tech itndsury, so it’s always about changing and adapting and then teaching others hwo to do the same. But, as Tommy mentioned, I can be a real creature of habit about the actual running of my business. I believe that I can fall prey to the notion that I do things in a way that makes perfect sense to me and gets the to do list checked off, so why should I change? mindset and that’s when my business starts to sag. A biz coach becomes invaluable at that point to help me see what I can’t see because I’m too wrapped up in getting things done.

For the hammer chipping myth,it is plausible that a hammer can chip will hiting another hammer. I have been myself injure will doing this, and i still have scare of it, but no need for a new try.

I cannot remember the calibre but i have seen a barrel that is peeled like a banana. A bloke i know has it hanging over his bar & I was told it was caused by a round that may only have had enough of a charge to enable the bullet to get stuck at the end of the barrel. Unaware the owner fired a second round witch split the barrel at least 3/4 of the it’s length.

I’m glad another smith rang in on this. I feel that since blacksmithing is no longer such an important part of our culture, people have become ignorant of the old ways and works that were done. Such a shame…

my friend was recently working with another mechanic when the hammer his co worker was using chipped off and is now waiting to have the piece surgically removed from his chest, was suppose to have it done already but it was to close to his organs, they said he would have to wait for an on staff surgeon.

Regarding the Marine Corps Carolos Hathcock “myth”; Both Lilly and Henry are correct. Adam and Jamie, as well as the producers, are complete idiots. This “myth” was proven by a Marine Sniper instructor on a documentary called (I believe) “In The Crosshairs”. You have just lost a viewer, due to your incompetency.

RE: banana peel gun barrel , at a scientific meeting I talked to a man who goes shooting in the UK. He has a shotgun which exploded tearing the barrel into ” umberella spokes”, he has another which has a swollen barrel after the end was placed under water to shoot a fish. I have met him several times and have no doubt as to the authenticity.

Just watched this episode and i have to say, as a trombonist with 8 years experience you really neglected the human element even in the redux – when someone blows into the trombone, the mouthpiece IS indeed sealed, and the trombonist puts pressure on his lips with it.

Stop calling myths busted when you can’t replicate the human element properly!!!
