Interesting Items from the web.
As my previous edition has disappeared into the ether, I will start another one.
The first item is about Ribble Steam Railway, you may see some familiar names.

Re: Now for something completely Different Part 2
A new feature, Container Cargo vessels arriving at Liverpool Gladstone Docks and Naval ships
at Cammal Lairds at Birkenhead. http://shipfinder.co/gallery.php?mmsi=2 ... 687712.jpg just click on the images for other vessels.
http://shipfinder.co/gallery.php?mmsi=3 ... 745931.jpg
Royal Princess is a fairly regular visitor to the Liverpool Cruise Centre near to Pier
at 330 metres long and 44 meters wide she makes for a splendid sight.
The fact that she does'nt need the assistance of tugs and uses her own thrust
makes for interesting viewing.

Another thread that's been edited loads of times, Frank?
This season, I'll be mostly wearing........A THONG!
Re: Now for something completely Different P & O to scrap Tips.

The other bowling feat was Sir Garfield Sobers 6 sixes in an over off Malcom Nash

Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Len Hutton to name but a few but not for a few days.
