    Physically frail but mentally tough I reckon

    HMS Ganges...Shotley with a 142ft mast on the parade ground, you had to climb to the first yardarm (60ft) and down again (obviously) on the march (double) to breakfast. No climb, no breakfast, every day except Sunday

    Today's theme, word ending in I C

    Gargantuan - Titanic

    That sounds pretty tough to say the least....

    Won’t be about much today, have to drive to Westfield (Shepherd’s Bush) and back to buy a Christmas present for our daughter. They won’t send it by courier and will only keep it until tonight.....

    Great link <cheers>

    Apparently, it’s the only/last one available in the UK at the moment - they sell out as soon as they come into stock.

    I was ‘lucky’ enough to contact the shop on Tuesday after I got home from the BS, and now have the pleasure of 7 hours in the car <yikes>
