Blaster Batesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Blaster Bates was the name used by Derek Macintosh Bates (5 February 1923 – 1 September 2006), an English explosives and demolition expert and raconteur, who was born in Crewe. He made a series of sound recordings from the 1960s to 1980s, recounting bizarre and funny experiences from his long career, and also tales of his hobbies of motorcycling, hunting and shooting. He was also much in demand as an after-dinner speaker. He spoke with a strong Cheshire accent. His tales feature coarse language and their content is equally strong stuff: once, for instance, he was hired to clear out a farm septic tank with explosives, with predictably gruesome results. Uncompromisingly, Bates chose to describe the episode as "The Shower Of Shit Over Cheshire".
