Titanic 2

Stupid buggers. I find it hard to beleive that large ships still hit icebergs in this day and age. Somebody must have been pissed shirley?

I was on a cruise ship once in athens harbour and some swine planted a limpet mine on it. Turned out to be a false alarm but when your 12 years old and you get dragged out of bed at midnight, get bundled into life jackets and watch frogmen swimming about looking for terrorists a false alarm is a right let down.  noooo:

Blimey! Gawd bless the internet. After posting the above shite I googled the ship i was on. It's got its own web pages and the thing was scrapped years ago. It was basically a floating school.

A floating bag of spanners as i remember it (30 odd years ago I admit). You could prolly have sank it by speaking harshly to it.

If you were going on a cruise - then would not logic dictate that going Antartic would not be your first choice  noooo:

No No No! Silly man.

Below the waterline were dormitories, no doubt where GOS and his comrades were once parked whilst on the way to bash the hun.
