Originally Posted by SFC1906. Facebook group to bring QE2's Funnel back to Southampton Hi all I have created a petition group on Facebook to get the grand old ladies funnel back to Southampton as the new owners plan to take it off and replace it with a hideous glass penthouse! I want to gauge people's feelings/level of support before I start a 'proper' petition so if you're on Facebook please join and tell all your friends. Below is the link and my intro. Would have started a thread but I haven't paid my fiver! Thanks in advance. 11/11/08 saw the the most famous ship in the world leave her home port of Southampton for the very last time. She set sail for Dubai where she will be converted into a luxury hotel and conference centre. Part of this conversion involves removing her iconic red funnel and replacing it with a 4 storey glass Penthouse. Firstly I think this is extremely tacky to say the least and will destroy the look of a ship that is famous for it's un-parallelled class, style and majesty. The last of the true 'Ocean Liners' as opposed to the modern day 'Cruise Ships'. Secondly they will then scrap the funnel. Ever since I can remember as a small child I have looked out of my bedroom window at my mums house, and in later years from various points all over Southampton, and seen QE2's iconic red funnel towering above Dock Head. This is now a sight that none of us will ever see again. Watching QE2 sail out of Southampton for the last time was an emotional day for alot of people (myself included) and you could literally 'feel' this emotion from people standing on Weston Shore watching her leave. To then find out what QE2's new owners plan to do with her funnel was just shocking. We cannot let this piece of Southampton's heritage and history just be ripped off and discarded of like an oiley rag. I think we should start a petition to have her funnel returned to Southampton to be set-up as a memorial so the people of her home town port, the people that loved her so much, will always have a piece of her to go and visit. It is unlikely that many of us will be able to visit her in Dubai, and even if we did she would no longer be (or even look like!) the same ship that sailed the world for 40 years with Southampton proudly emblazoned across her stern. Who's with me?? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=45315848407

Nice idea mate. Good luck.

That looks a bit awkward to type on.

It wasn't a pop at you matey. The persons in question know who I'm talking about.

I got rescued by a boat and loads of splicers popped up in little escape submersibles. I was getting some rant from the woman who looked after the kids. That seemed harsh because I only harvested the very first one, the rest I saved.

When I started my last job I shook the keyboard of the PC I inherited and a scab fell out.

You have PM.

It looks like ours to be honest. They're so tightly regulated for next year that they're almost spec.

Do you know, I edited it once to read that and then changed it back. It smacked of split infinitives.

at something approaching a 2009 spec car. Williams have been aero testing at Kemble airfield, running a 2008 FW30 with a 2009 spec nose, front wing and rear wing fitted. No, the aspect ratio hasn't be skewed. They really do look like that. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72093

You have merely stated that which I was alluding to. (Awaysaint1 is going to love that sentence!)
