  1. Harry looking a bit knackered here.
  2. In my day it was pipes. That is - old guys and their shag. Not much noise but quite an atmosphere.
  3. FFS! This gets worse the more you delve into it. From the BBC . . . Mr Rush "followed his own path", Mr Newman [an investor] said. Mr Newman's recollection of OceanGate was of a team that looked out for each other. And Mr Rush's wife, Wendy, was "up at the top, looking over his shoulder, making sure that he was doing everything perfectly and not cutting corners or skipping things"
  4. QE2 passport. Could have been worse. A Queen Camilla. Sorry Ma'am.
  5. How to build your own mini-sub. Wouldn't fill me with a lot of confidence looking at this pic.
  6. Guillermo Söhnlein, a co-founder of OceanGate, has rejected some of the criticisms directed at the company over safety and certification. Söhnlein left the company 10 years ago but still retains a minority stake. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme . . . Söhnlein said it had been a "tragic loss for the ocean exploration community" but anyone who operates in the deep ocean "knows the risk of operating under such pressure and that at any given moment... you run the risk of this kind of implosion". - - - - - Clearly a line of BS as both Cameron and Ballard have stated that this is the last thing you worry about on a dive. In fact Ballard said that there has never been such an incident since these vehicles began operations in the 60s.
  7. I've seen worse. Clyde v Pars - early seventies. Ball was floating. Play on.
  8. I wouldn't worry about the website. Pretty easy to add pages. Probably a WIP. Looks like WordPress.
  9. Aye, I think you have to push that big red reset button. Not saying McPake is the greatest manager but he knew what needed to be done and did it.
  10. That made me chuckle. We'll see if the heads are swapped next season.
