So, let me see if I've got this right.

Kevin,s link is of zero interest, as it has been discussed, and linked to before.

Shambles multiple and oft repeated complaint threads are of vital importance to us all, and must be respected.

Hmmmmmm! Do I see a pattern emerging here?

Did you check the link Roger - that would make it clear what Kevin was talking about. (Jacqui)

That's the art of creative reading, Jacqui. You look at McGrath's post and read: Bloody Shambles is full of shit.

W' as Shakespeare said "A rose by any other name".

If you choose as your nom de plume something that has this sort of connotation what can you expect?

I don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Or you could read it as "This shit has got guts!" Creative reading means you take away with you what you come predisposed to take away...

The Shambles is a sandbank that has claimed many boats and ships off the coast of Portland, Dorset.

It's a dangerous feature that is best avoided.

Tha's all thur be to 'un you.

It is indeed dangerous not to treat The Shambles with the respect it deserves. But vessels should not really come to too much harm - if they do give it the respect it deserves.

And it is a place that provides much joy and pleasure to those who do treat it with the respect it deserves - who will say that it is a feature where some of the very best sea fishing on the entire South Coast is to be found.

Short-term dynamics and maintenance processes of headland-associated sandbanks: Shambles Bank, English Channel, UK

Abstract

The short-term (over a spring tidal cycle) dynamics of a headland-associated sandbank (Shambles Bank, English Channel) are investigated, by means of field measurements (synchronous data, using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and repeated side-scan sonar imagery) and two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic and sediment transport models.

The dynamics of the bank are described in terms of along- and cross-bank velocity components, sand transport pathways and bedform asymmetries.The results showed the occurrence of a net bedload convergent zone along the crest of the bank as a result of anti-clockwise veering of sediment transport towards the crest.

This transport pattern is suggested to be the result of the dynamic interplay between two distinct tidally related processes acting over the sandbank, during each phase of the tidal cycle: (a) the formation and different stages of a transient tidal eddy that drives bedload movement during the flood phase of the tide and (b) the bottom-friction induced by the presence of the sandbank that governs the bedload transport dynamics during the ebb phase of the tidal cycle.
