Mmmm, it seems our very own mod Crusty Bint posted this on skyscrapercity.com last week and didn't tell us.

You'll be pleased to know the Dalmarnock blocks are coming down on the July 1st between 6 and 8pm... weather permitting.

Cheers for that cheesy, I didn't think to check the other sites and haven't been around much this past couple of weeks. Ah well, I was really hoping to get over there to get some photos but at least I got to hear it :)

Only knew abou this when I saw the pile of rubble while delivering mail today. One block is still up, hopefully I won't miss that one whenever it comes down.

Sorry about this folks.

I was on holiday and just checked my mail today to discover an invitation to the blow down.

At least someone got a couple of photos.

I will see if I can get the video from the GHA and pass it on to Fossil to go with the others posted up.

Check the GHA website... I think they intend to publish a video there.

The other one is going down in 4-6 weeks so those who missed the first one will get another chance! Apparently they couldn't blow both due to the proximity to the pylons and cables.

It was only 1 of the blocks that was brought down, why not both ?

Heard a series of explosions this morning as I lay in bed contemplating my laziness, was it the other block coming down??

Yes, and I missed the bastard again.

Oh no! I've missed it again.

Hopefully Ally Doll was there to capture it.

I will find out if the GHA have a video of both coming down and are if the will pass them on so that they can be posted up.
