If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

OK, so this is actually me...goofing around at Piestany Museum. But it isn't that often you get the chance to sit in the pilot's seat of a Hind
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

I'm sure that the '40' represents a limit (upper/lower?) of some sort..... but looking at the attendees I'm reluctant to commit to a definition! At least it is not raining!
