Can anyone make any sense out of that smiley-drivel? Isn’t there a forum regulation about making an effort to write understandable English? If so, one could wonder what this toddler is doing here…

If you are referring to post one, please consider that the poster is not medically well and show a little tolerance and patience.;)

Also I will be travelling on an A340-600, anyone know which row is the best in terms of window view/legroom?? 😉

Thank you so much, much appreciated 😀

The two sister ships Pride & Spirit of Free Enterprise are still opeartional i believe.

Jamie

That is correct. The Pride is now M/V Oleander operated by Trans Europa Ferries running between Ramsgate and Ostend and the Spirit is now M/V Anthi Marina operated by GA Ferries in Greece.

As of last Thursday, there were still 130 containers on the Napoli. There are warnings not to buy any bottles of vodka from a man in Weymouth as they may be contaminated.:D

Long shot, but they may have some contacts if you want to go across the pond!

Extra rant.

What a wonderful, friendly and helpful attitude you display.UK707

Why do you feel the need to speak to people in such an offhand and patronising way when all they’re simply doing is pointing out the fact you’re contradicting yourself?

Paul

Totally agree. Hadn’t bothered to read this thread until now. Fascinating! The police are now able to call up a Nimord (and other assets as hinted at by UK707, what are those or is that another secret the public musn’t learn?) to arrest a citizen or two? Considering the problems at Kinloss and serviceability, is it really feasible that the R.A.F. would release a Nimrod for a civil operation?

I noticed last week when returning to the U.K. how paranoid the public are becoming about security. One woman was so happy to take her shoes off ‘for our security!’. How many attempted shoe bombers have there been? Another businessman had to agree totally with the security as it was for the ‘safety of his grandchildren!’. The laugh was that he was the one selected for extra searching!

The ship was built in Germany in 1980, the accident was in 1987 and the ship was broken up in 1988, location not known.

The interesting report below details the loading problems at Zeebrugge which were a factor in the accident. The bow had to be water ballasted to get the correct height for car loading and when she sailed, she was still bow down and of course the doors were not fully shut.
