    Jimmy Dorsey's blog makes for some interesting reading - he's one pissed cat :)

    Americans seem to have a real problems distinguishing facts and experience, from opinion.
    I wouldn't let any of those guys near an electric toothbrush, let alone heavy earthmoving equipment.

    Interesting reading on his blog - some things on the show like "72 hours to find $10,000 of gold" was filmed over a period of a month. A lot is scripted and re-enacting earlier fights. The punchup was real though, as were Dorsey's broken ribs.

    Maybe best to skip the blog and suspend disbelief for the purposes of entertainment :)

    Really? He came across as someone well past his prime and losing his faculties myself.

    I can certainly appreciate experience, but he doesn't really strike me as someone who really knew what they were doing.

    Actually, it looks like they've all been pulled from YouTube.

    If you want to see it, you'll need to visit somewhere with a lot of sudden rain.

    Nah, the owners mate brought in to fix the process. The old bearded wanker is just a moron, with zero clues.

    Fred got the guys on track, he probably should've been there from day one. Can't beat valid experience when it comes to doing it right. The other major factor in the current success is that they're finally getting down to fresh paydirt.
