I've been following the demolition of parts of the Globe Mill quite closely, My late wife worked there and her father was the chief electrician and died on the bottom floor after walking to work in snow 30 years ago. There have been delays due to scaffold problems and a layer of concrete near the top - this chimney had to be gone - quickly!
I saw the high reach machine had appeared on Saturday so I was aware of what was going to happen. I Had been thinking Monday but! I had a dream about it being done on Sunday - when it was quiet. I suddenly woke thinking of course it will be Sunday. I went up to work early on Sunday to collect my gear and pop down Slaithwaite to photograph some flowers I spotted near the wine bar the evening before. I had my gear set up at 7.30, nice and peaceful having forgotten all about the chimney. At 7.50 Jeremy Walker of Pennine Demo pulled up in His Scania Rolonof - shit, the chimney, I'd completely forgotten but happy days I was in the right place for once, and with the right gear with me.
Jeremy knew I was recording the chimney coming down and was going to text me apparently. I had to ring Jayne and ask her to walk to Slawit to meet me at nine instead of work and warn her that we might be having breakfast later than usual - no worries.
By 9.30 the chimney was down to a manageable height, I was stood on a garden wall getting a close up of Jeremy when a hydraulic seal blew - just above us. Hydraulic oil drizzle on me and the camera. At this point I left - I needed to eat - and I had a photo mission up Wessenden planned. The rest of the chimney was dropped with a smaller machine - done and dusted before dinner. My car was thick with dust, I could hardly see through the windscreen - all in a good cause.

Bloody Eastlink!
But I did get to experience the amazing queue, that snaked around and over the railway line back to the other sides platform. No one pushed in or got angry, must be our English heritage coming through.
Interrupted David Gray due to lightening. They told us to grab a drink and they'd be right back. Moments later they started yelling...evacuate, evacuate.
West View, attractive home amid glorious Saddleworth scenery to Friarmere Cricket Club. The hosts, whose ground is a short distance south of Denshaw, are batting against Oldham during a Championship fixture in the Pennine League. Friarmere, rescued from 45-4 by a fifth wicket stand worth 60, won by 74 runs a clash between teams in the table's bottom four.
Match statistics:
Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 22. Start delayed by 30 minutes, until 2pm, to allow the outfield additional drying time. Game reduced to 45 overs-a-side. Friarmere won the toss and elected to bat.

Friarmere Cricket Club were formed in 1864. Most of their life has been spent in the Saddleworth League, of which in 1899 they became founder members. Friarmere played in the superior Huddersfield League either side of the Great War. At that time, the Denshaw club were bankrolled by their wealthy president, John Lewis Byrom, owner of the nearby Slack Cote woollen mill. Byrom built a two-storey pavilion, updated internally in 1994, at the West View ground, halfway up the northern flank of the Tame Valley. He paid for the Huddersfield area's leading cricketers to play for Friarmere. The policy garnered 18 championships and cups. The recruited players were given jobs in Byrom's mill. It is said, possibly apocryphally, twelve terraced cottages Byrom had built at the west end of the ground housed players and groundsman. Byrom laid out West View on a grand scale, in what proved to be a forlorn hope that Yorkshire would play either first or second XI games there. Until 1974, Saddleworth was part of Yorkshire's West Riding. When Byrom died, in 1931, Friarmere rejoined the Saddleworth League. Byrom is buried in a nearby churchyard. His grave is closest to the cricket ground. On the Saddleworth League's 2016 merger with the Central Lancashire League, Friarmere were placed in the new Pennine League's Championship (second tier) division. Owing to defections to the Lancashire and Greater Manchester leagues, the fledgling Pennine League is due to fold at the end of the 2017 season. Friarmere have yet to announce their plans. A return to the Huddersfield League is a popular suggestion.

OCTOBER 20, 2005 --Here's the Tom DeLay mug shot snapped this afternoon when
the deposed House majority leader appeared at a Harris County, Texas
sheriff's office to be booked on conspiracy and money laundering
charges. The Republican pol, 58, was forced to submit to a brief photo
and fingerprint session after a District Judge yesterday issued an arrest warrant
for him. DeLay's mug shot was taken at the sheriff's office in
Richmond. The congressman is scheduled for his initial court appearance
tomorrow in Travis County District Court.

The black Shelby in the pictures was going to auction, represented by Patrick Krook of Show Your Auto!, but the proceedings were held up by the Ferrari in front of it, which refused to start. The Shelby finally had to be driven around the Ferrari for its date with the auction block (it fired up on the first try). The Ferrari finally (with much delay) got started.
