Moggy and Lincoln I agree with you. Cant think of one good reason to keep dolphins and killer whales in captivity to perform for humans’ entertainment. These animals belong in their natural element. Visited a water park in Majorca some years ago where they kept performing dolphins a matter of a hundred yards from the sea, where they should really be.What a bloody shame for these poor creatures. As for killing whales for “research”-just sounds like an excuse. I saw trailers for a documentary about what happens to dolphins in the Faroes a while back. Could not watch the programme. I did see one about sharks being landed just for their fins to make soup,however. Just as bad in my view.

Happy birthday Anna!

If you ignore that awful Christmas song they produced some pretty good stuff and didnt take themselves too seriously.

Its amazing how much speculation and armchair expert opinion is being aired all over the place in relation to this; there are parallels with aircraft related incidents. There may be some on this forum more knowledgeable than others on seafaring matters but ultimately the truth will come out once all the facts have been established.

Totally fed up of hearing about the whole thing already and it looks like there is much, much more of this to go. In my view it is a non starter and a needless distraction. Being nationalistic is all very well but you dont have to split a nation up to make a point and send us all down a one way road to gawd knows what.

The crew managed to get nearly 4000 people of that listing ship in the dark in under 2 hours.Not a bad achievement considering the situation.

Some of us up here arent daft enough to think independence would work and dont want it anyway. All the cross border w.lly waving going on at the moment is a needless distraction from the problems we all face.

Wonderful sound.
