A Royal Visitor

Jimbuna · 09-17-07, 09:32 AM

Woke up this morning and looked out of a rear bedroom window to see the royal visitor 1/2 a mile away

...and then I remembered that I live miles from any water. Investigation pending

I'm about 50 miles south* of you then, chilly here too.

You don't need to torpedo it, just wait for it to sink on its own, it's falling to bits, if any of the paying passengers saw the state of it 'below decks', they probably wouldn't dare get on board, let alone put to sea in it.

Aw, c'mon, Herr Kaleun! Can't we lob just a few deck gun shells at it to help it on its way?

We had both queens meet in Sydney a short time ago, QE2 and QM2. It caused a whloe lot of traffic problems and people headed in to see it.

The original queens also meet of Sydney heads back during WW2. Queen Mary had just been fitted out as troop ship and was leaving, Queen Elizabeth was arriving to be convereted.
