S/k this rather large lump of steel will be leaving here today bound for Oslo and then Southampton.



I wasn't able to get far enough away from it to fit it in the frame.

A few details about it can be found here for those that are interested.

And this is the current state of the next ship, which will be 50% bigger, in the dry dock.




Feel free to wave as I float past.

Should know I'll get him to give you a buzz although you should also know he can be a bit awkward with strangers so if he doesn't call then don't shout at me.

O.K. Let him know I've already met and talked to Steven Jobs and Bill Gates. Albeit over 20 years ago.

s/k My uncle was one of the founders of Western Digital.

The dogs local to me are undoubtedly "bad" dogs, considering there is no way their owners could afford a well-bred animal.
s/k that there is no such thing as a GOOD pitbull

a 7 year old girl was mauled in sydney yesterday... most councils are banning them(good idea)

these damn things just snap....kids are far too precious to risk. they were bred to fight. how the hell do we think that all of a sudden they will stop?

instincts rule behaviour. it cant be stopped.. itns not a matter of IF its WHEN.

I'm sure there are "some" good pitbulls. The problem is which ones? And, all the owners will tell you theirs is good - until it bites or mauls someone. Then, they're just so surprised.

I agree with you, this breed needs to be banned from populated areas.
