Critical point that. Maybes we pick a friday night game. Have a few bevvies watching the lads, then a night flight to kathmandu. As long as smugs flip flops pass the dress code on the door we should be good for a decent boozer somewhere in the world.
Brilliant mate, that sounds real fun. Reminded me of a funny story, me my missus and two mates set off up cat bells over high spy and onto Dale head before we we’re going to drop down and go back to Portinscale, we were sat at the top of Dale head Knackered getting our breath back when this fat lass yomps past us with a two year old kid in a back carrier smoking a *** So that gave us the idea when we went again up the fells we used to get to the top where people were passing you and we would sit and rub our feet with two pair of high heels and two pair of flip flops by our sides we’d carried up in our ruck sacks.
"The submersible that went missing on its way to the wreck of the Titanic may have imploded and collapsed into pieces, an expert has told Sky News. Dr David Gallo, who describes the Titan's pilot, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, as his "best friend", said the timeline suggests something happened "mid-water"." With friends like this ....
Smug I’m sure will be able to convince the boozer that he is the one running the door , so we can wear what we want
Eh, I thought we were going this weekend. I've just been to tesco and bought two meal deals, one for on the way up, and one for on the way down: 2 sandwiches, 2 bags crisps, and 2 bottles lucozade....£6. Was still quite sunny out, so bought a cap. Need to go soonish mind, me sarny's will go off.
My mates lent me his St Bernard dog to carry the whisky ( heard certain members from here are joining us ) it seems to be struggling with the 25 gallon barrel but it’s getting there Ps it’s dead.
Can we get another St Bernard mate, or 4. 25 gallons seems ok for the upwards bit, but what about the downwards bit.
Christ, what a horrible way to go. Imagine as it starts to creak and you're just sat there waiting for that glorified tin can to crush you to death... Grim. Some mad quotes from the rest of that interview, too... "In some ways, Dr Gallo is not surprised this incident has occurred. "Anyone in the exploration business of the deep sea expected this to happen - not at this particular time, but we knew this was going to happen at some point," he said. "We knew darn well it would and we knew all the difficulties there would be: how do you recover from that if the sub is stuck on a shipwreck, if they lose batteries and nothing was done about it? "There's no policies, there's no plan, there's nothing." He continued: "It just frustrates me that now begins the scramble to try to get the right things in the right place at the right time and it's just an unnecessary step because we did know at some point that this was going to happen. "And it happened and I think all of us in the community are stunned."" So they knew "darn well" it would happen yet no preventative measures were put in place... The mind boggles
"So they knew "darn well" it would happen yet no preventative measures were put in place." As I said earlier the lawyers will be cracking open the bubbly if the passengers don't make it ... ... "Where there's a wreck there's a cheque."
From the Grauniad - Documents show that the sub’s operator, OceanGate, had been warned there might be catastrophic safety problems posed by the way the experimental vessel was developed. David Lochridge, OceanGate’s director of marine operations, said in a 2018 lawsuit that the company’s testing and certification was insufficient and would “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible”
Bloody hell FT. I think I'm Chris Bonnington if I get up Cat Bells! Great story though, especially for the lady, who had a second life there.
