Sorry Thad - I still luv ya... try this one...(scroll down to the Kaiser Chiefs) http://spaces.msn.com/rfellerman/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c01_blogpart=blogmgmt&_c=bl ogpart >>>>I don't get the reference: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > http://spaces.msn.com/rfellerman/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c01_blogpart=blogmgmt&_c=bl ogpart Thanks, man. I *did* try Google, but I Googled it wrong I guess. "Smeaton *an* old Leodiensian", not "Smeaton, *and* old Leodiensian". I'm still a little in the dark about the song but it's catchy anyway. __ Thad >>> I don't get the reference: >>> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> BTW, here's your ODP, Civ. Bit more... Highly regarded by other engineers, he contributed to the Lunar Society and founded the Society of Civil Engineers in 1771. He coined the term civil engineers to distinguish them from military engineers graduating from the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. After his death, the Society was renamed the Smeatonian Society, and was a forerunner of the Institution of Civil Engineers, established in 1818. His pupils included canal engineers James Brindley and William Jessop and architect and engineer Benjamin Latrobe. He died after suffering a stroke while walking in the garden of his family home at Austhorpe, and was buried in the parish church at Whitkirk, West Yorkshire. John Smeaton lends his name to a high school in the suburbs of Leeds, adjacent to the Pendas Fields estate near Austhorpe. He is also mentioned in the song I Predict a Riot (as a symbol of a more dignified and peaceful epoch in Leeds history) by the Kaiser Chiefs, who are natives of Leeds. >>> I don't get the reference: >>> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> BTW, here's your ODP, Civ. Sorry Thad, I didn't even understand your post. I assumed you were drunk. Oh: "ODP". You were! (Didn't get that bit until now). As a former member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, you would think that I'd know all about this Smeaton fella, wouldn't you, but I didn't. -- Paul >>>>I don't get the reference: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Sorry Thad, I didn't even understand your post. Lyrics from the Kaiser Chiefs' "I Predict a Riot" that I didn't understand. > I assumed you were drunk. > > Oh: "ODP". You were! (Didn't get that bit until now). Mebbe just a little. > As a former member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, you would think that > I'd know all about this Smeaton fella, wouldn't you, but I didn't. I thought you knew everything! :-) SignatureThad |
