Anyone else notice that “Cockford Ollie” meme sounds an awful lot like “Cockcroft’s Folly”?
The first one is an alliteration of "Cock for Dolly". The latter one is a derisive nickname for the bulky filters Sir John Cockcroft ordered onto the tops of the 360-foot Windscale chimneys in the late 1940s. They were added during late construction, resulting in huge, ugly bulges. The project was mocked as a pointless waste of time and money.
In 1957, Britain had its worst nuclear accident. The core of Pile 1 at Windscale caught fire and began spewing radioactive dust. Cockcroft’s “folly” trapped around 95% of it and prevented a far worse radiological disaster.
So you’ve got two phrases that sound almost identical with the word “cock” and conjure up vulgar references. The Crockford one stirs up the imagery of a tall phallic chimney with a big rubbery-looking bulge right at the tip that prevented it from unloading its radioactive load into the environment--a giant condom. Hard not to find the coincidences amusing.

We watched one of his most recent videos where AvE's daughter is "helping" in the shop. I know she has been in a few of his videos but I wasn't able to find them on the channel. Anybody know what videos that little chipmunk starred in?

...but, since the platform decided to terminate Carl Benjamin's Patreon (Sargon), I have decided to permanently terminate all business relations with them.
This affects you and it sucks.
If there is another way to support your projects, I'd happily contribute. I just can not support a disgusting company like Patreon.
Keep rocking.

I remember seeing videos years ago, I think my first intro to AVE, where he was breaking down the science and engineering behind a crain failure. Or two. I've got a mystery in our own backyard I need him to break down - not sure if it's in the wheelhouse or not. Some say space dust, some say lithium batter splosion. I'll say, the flames were tall as all get out and not that I have a lot of experience with house fires, but dang it looked like an action movie.
