There's a UKCS operator who very recently lost an ROV that's still on the seabed. I might be referring to BP, I might not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an amount of substantial infrastructure has badly drawn cocks on it, which is pleasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it pleasing the cocks are drawn badly, or that substantial infrastructure seems to attract cocks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) How shite would it be if you were bobbing about on the surface somewhere but you are still fucked because you need someone outside to open the sub. Surely with the super strength you would get from knowing you would die if you don’t do anything you could break the sub open at that point?

Would you be trying to get through 5” of reinforced carbon fibre composite or the titanium hemispheres? What would you use, the PS 3 controller? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
