Well Buzz, I must congratulate you on making the most cuntishly inaccurate statement on Arrse since some other tosspot claimed the SLR was a decent rifle. I guess no-one remembered to tell any of the oil majors that delivered crude to the refinery in Cape Town (the Caltex refinery at Milnerton) before continuing their journeys to the USA, Rotterdam, etc. lucky thing that, otherwise South Africa wouldn't have had any oil.

I grew up in SA where my father ran the refinery, and several times we went on cruises on tankers to and from the ME. I've been on a ULCC in a storm: the thing hardly moved and was a lot more stable than any cruise ship I've ever been on.

I am guessing that you did not get GCSE Geography.
