I thought the screaming building was definitely something worth relishing :) They're only scary when they're not attached to the ground...al mackayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191352311549129022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770018981856711206.post-87029844127554863242009-11-30T18:21:33.853+02:002009-11-30T18:21:33.853+02:00Oh dear Al, now I've got you thinking about de...Oh dear Al, now I've got you thinking about death on bench press machines - well, I guess that is understandable - they are quite heavy-going.
