Shearer fires Bellamy broadside

[tomasjj]

Shearer - most boring self-rigtheous ****** in footy

[Morph]

I only know one person who knows Shearer, and he said he's a really decent bloke. The person in question was a trainee at Newcastle for 3 years.

As for title tattle, I don't listen to it and anyway whatever Shearer may or may not be, as far as I'm aware he hasn't been up before the beak for hitting a woman and he hasn't threatened a team mate with a golf club.

So stick your own bollox up arse.:bird:

still tho he is a tit

[Bob]

Nah - Shearer just attempts to blatantly unman Neil Lennon, and threatens to quit international football unless the authorities let him get away with it.

What a ffecin' hero! :bird:

Anybody that kicks Lennon in the face is fine by me.

So what actually *is* a broadside? You never hear the word being used in real life. Ever. I only know what it means having deciphered it as a youngster when I saw all these "Yallop fires Goss broadside" type headlines.

Is it something to do with ships?

Yes - sailing ships. Massed cannon, etc.

Right. Could you elaborate a little bit? Do people on ships fire broadsides? Or do they aim at a broadside...the "broad side of the ship"?

What is it? What is a broadside? "Massed cannon"? Huh?

The broadside refers to either the side of the sailing ship on which all the canons are placed or the simultaneous firing of the same range of guns.

Broadside

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Broadside (disambiguation).

A broadside is the side of a ship; the battery of cannon on one side of a warship; or their simultaneous (or near simultaneous) fire in naval warfare.

In older naval warfare

Broadsides were quite different during older naval warfare, in the age of sail. An 18th century man of war like the HMS Victory had cannons that were only accurate at short range. The penetrating power of naval guns was mediocre; which meant that the thick hull of a well-built wooden ship could only be pierced at short ranges. These wooden ships sailed closer and closer towards each other until cannon fire would be effective. Each tried to be the first to fire a broadside, often giving one side a decisive headstart in the battle when it crippled the other ship.[1]

As a measurement

Additionally, the term broadside is a measurement of a vessel's maximum simultaneous fire power which can be delivered upon a single target, due to the fact that this concentration is usually obtained by firing a broadside. This is calculated by multiplying the shell weight of the ship's main armament shells times the number of barrels that can be brought to bear. If some turrets are incapable of firing to either side of the vessel, only the maximum number of barrels which can fire to one side or the other are counted. For example, the American Iowa-class battleships carry a main armament of nine 16-inch main guns in turrets which can all be trained to a single broadside. Each 16-inch shell weighs 2,700 pounds, which when multiplied by nine (the total number of barrels in all three turrets) equals a total of 24,300 pounds (11,022 kg). Thus, an Iowa-class battleship has a broadside of 12 tons (11.0 tonnes), the weight of shells that she can theoretically land on a target in a single firing.

See list of broadsides of major World War II ships for a comparison.

Maybe if you ran around doing your own research you wouldn't have 17000 posts or be such a porker.

I blame historical fiction.
