Stupid buggers. I find it hard to beleive that large ships still hit icebergs in this day and age. Somebody must have been pissed shirley?

I was on a cruise ship once in athens harbour and some swine planted a limpet mine on it. Turned out to be a false alarm but when your 12 years old and you get dragged out of bed at midnight, get bundled into life jackets and watch frogmen swimming about looking for terrorists a false alarm is a right let down.  noooo:

Blimey! Gawd bless the internet. After posting the above shite I googled the ship i was on. It's got its own web pages and the thing was scrapped years ago. It was basically a floating school.

A floating bag of spanners as i remember it (30 odd years ago I admit). You could prolly have sank it by speaking harshly to it.

Below the waterline were dormitories, no doubt where GOS and his comrades were once parked whilst on the way to bash the hun.
