My missus was sat in the garden breast-feeding baboo over the summer, and the next morning whilst showering a tick fell off her back. The little c**t had climbed up the garden furniture and attached itself when she was feeding junior. A few days later the whole area, about the size of a dinner plate, went bright red. Clear cut case of Lyme Disease. She was then faced with having to take strong antibiotics whilst feeding a month-old baby. Worrying times, but both are now OK. Ticks are grade A c**ts, and can carry a lot worse diseases than Lyme disease, like Tick-Borne Encephalitis. Luckily everyone in Austria is vaccinated against that. In your case, if it were a tick, the little tw*t would probably still be attached. But definitely go to a doctor.

24th. My missus has this thing about the "Christkind" bringing it. 23rd if she is knackered or in a bad mood (if I do it all myself). I try to point out the sheer ridiculousness of a baby delivering Xmas presents around the world, she argues its the same for an old man. I counter that at least he still has his driving licence if he passed the medical, at which point she goes quiet.

What top speed did you get out of it ? Did it fulfill your expectations ? Despite it being apparently unimportant under all operation conditions, is it classified ?

Its all cool, Moonie. If he you had read the thrust of my comments properly, you will have noticed I was asking for information, not stating opinion dressed as fact. I only started making assertions because DellDays couldnt be arsed answering properly for whatever petty reason that occured to him. Notice how late into the discussion he threw the comment about bringing the reactor to full power. Until then he was p*ssing about - dismissing comment without explaining why. I will avoid discussing anything related to the Armed Forces in future, since it is abundantly clear that ex-servicemen on this site are completely unable to give a fair hearing to, or discuss sensibly with, those whom they have somehow worked out in their head are inferior - those who havent served.

Fantastic news, I wish all three of them the very best.

The entire defence except Clyne. Are you really advocating doing nothing about the defence - unless the absolutely "perfect" name is available - that has shipped the most goals in PL history for this time of season ?

Including submarines.

DPS, give it up. You are being well and truly reeled in. You know you werent alone in your opinion, and the club is still a long way from proving us wrong. Chin up, keep your dignity.

Oh, the delicious irony of some of these posts on this thread. I wonder how many of you were slagging the likes of Appy, the PST and Pompey fans in general for turning a blind eye to all the small creditos being shafted in the on-going process at Krap Nottarf.

Fairly surprised this shameless thread of trolling and "told you so"-ing by DigDig is being permitted.

I do agree, but we really shouldnt lose sight of the fact that these two games were Swansea and QPR.

Mock all you want, but the quote "V8 engine with a Morris Minor gearbox" to describe Astutes comes from somewhere. I have just taken the time to read the letter from Rear Adm SR Lister, who was responsible for delivering Astute, and Steven Walker, its current commanding officer, in the Guardian, and whilst their comments are reassuring about its operational capability, neither address the speed issue; why was the design target set so high by the RN if it wasnt necessary at all ? Such information does not inspire public confidence after so much public money being spend, especially when the argument to build the Vanguard-class successors still needs to be won.

Another post that proves my point. Its all about image and ego with you. You may have the "experience" but you communicate it poorly. Your default response to any point is either a "yes/no" statement with no elaboration and we are supposed to bow down to your self-proclaimed knowhow without question, or is patronising and full of innuendo. I am glad I didnt sign up and get lumbered with you as responsible for my training.

A lot longer than American and Russian ones, apparently........... Btw, assuming you are right for one moment, its a pity its taken another 30-40 posts to goad such information out of you. I do hope you are not responsible for training anybody to do their job...

This is funny. And not because I think they arent biased. I am assuming you think non-bias is the BBC allowing Hamas spokesmen scream "Death to Israel" on camera ever news bulletin ?

What utter, utter, b*ll*cks. They have as much right to that land as the Palestinians. But thanks for revealing your agenda.

I really am wondering what your objective is by repeating this in every thread ad nauseam...

Your description did make me laugh, though

I hope you find the unecessary and irrelevant comments about my weight, my location and where I have paid tax to be equally so.

As pathetic as getting all this hard-man sea-dog "you dont know what you are talking about" crap. If I dont, educate me. Answer a genuine question in a genuine manner.

So, during a crash dive and an emergency blow, the engines are not engaged at full power to accellerate the effect of the ballast change ? B*ll*cks.

If he really knows as much as he claims (personally, I think he knows as much about subs as Mike Wilde knew about chairing a football club), why did he have to act all stupid and not just answer my questions sensibly ? I think hes a f**king cook who things he is command of the bridge.

Who decided you judge what is appropriate to discuss or not ? Personally, I am grateful to Hypo for telling me the German market is already open in Soton, notwithstanding submarine comments.

Yep sod those surrounded when there has been at least 3 serious attempts to wipe them off the map in the past 50 years.

Only Burley and Redknapp are deserving of any animosity, imo.
