  1. Agree with you. Did you see how bright the red was on the Goal nets?
  2. Agree with you. I live in Lee on Solent and have the same problem.
  3. Hendricks Gin
  4. At Saint Marys today
  5. It is in a couple of pubs about 5 miles away and they want 40 dollars (about £22). I thought I could watch it in my hotel room on my iPad as it is not on any of the hotel TV channels (Holiday Inn)
  6. I am out in Singapore on Hols at the moment. Anyone have a link to a free feed of the England v Ukraine match please.
  7. I assure you the inflatable/safety boat was not pulled down or not even secured to the boat in anyway. Its a different matter when towing and normally two inflatables are used with a rope laid between them and they are snagged by the periscope and then towed. Being a scratcher I was "invited out" when they did this on a practice run in the Channel and it's scary see the scope coming towards you at a few knots and it's quite noisey with the "feather" formed from the scope. I remember the Captain saying to me later as he had (obviously) been watching through the scope that I was obviously enjoying myself. It was nervous laughter - I was shatting myself!! The inflatable coxswains have to get it more or less exactly centre as they could capsize.
  8. Hi Derry, The chamber was fitted under the casing (deck) and attached over one of the submarine's hatches.(the casing was free flood) . The chamber held 5 persons who could breath on air being fed through a system from inside the submarine. They could leave and access the boat whilst dived but by god you had to be going at a very, very slow speed or they would get washed off the casing. With the accident previously mentioned the Captain had a lot of decisions to make - Increase speed which could of then washed them off the casing and possible through the propellors, Emergency Surface (Rapid Ascent) which could of still washed them off the casing or blow internal tanks to give him slower controlled ascent which is what he did. One of the team (Dutch) was hanging off the top of the fin (conning tower) when we surfaced but alive. We spent all night on the surface together with RNLI, Helicopters, Coastguard looking for two to no avail until a Minehunter was called in and the two were identified at the bottom of the loch quite deep. Your correct with regards to being used for Rigs.(and other things!!)
  9. Ships Company. - Scratcher. We probably know each other. I was on Orpheus for 11 years (and 2 months)!!
  10. I was on that boat at the time fitted with the chamber carrying out exit and re-ntry when the two Royals drowned.
  11. Sorry just seen a posting on the same matter.
  12. This may have been asked before but how does someone put a business in to Admin and then can buy it back again. How would he get on with the FA's Fit and Proper Persons malarkey?
  13. Has this been done before where a team has never been out of the top two through the whole of a season?
  14. Couldn't resist taking this photie outside a newspaper shop today. Look at the bottom of the headlines. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f361/Nigaramus/Placard.jpg

  16. There were very few of them with saints colours.

  24. A Rado Jubilee. Jet Black and gold with a small diamond on 12, 3, 6, and 9. The strap is Black ceramic and gold.
  25. Im also a submariner (or rather Ex) and been round the world twice and seen lots of places (the bonus being based in Singapore for 25 months!) Manilla (Phillipines) is a good run as has already been mentioned - Bangkok. The flight is a bit long mind you which subtracts from the drinking time!!
