    Problem with that is that they are saying this thing has been down there since WW I and and the first J Class (Shamrock V) was launched in 1930.

    Holy shit, they're shameless, it's even being marketed as a "reproduction".

    No wonder pikeys and scousers are descended from the spudniggers.

    Because Britannic was upgraded with the safety features that would have stopped Titanic sinking

    I had the pleasure of diving with one of the guys who dived Britannic, the documentary actually concluded that the cause was the fact that they were due to pick up more wounded that morning, some thoughtful sole decided to open all the lower port holes to air the wards.

    These basically by passed the upgraded bulkheads and safety features added after Titanic went down.

    If you've got sky Nat geo, James Cameron did a good programme last night where they went over all the evidence and dispelled alot of the myths it's an interesting watch.

    Look, regardless of whatever. In most parts of the world they celebrate the ships that made it to where they were going, not the failures.

    A lot of cities would also have pride enough not to simply bend over and take it up the arse from every fat, humburger grubbing cunt that thinks the world beyond their own driveway is themepark.

    I sincerely wish that everyone involved in "celebrating" the Titanic this weekend comes to know fear, pain, loss and death in the very near future.

    They've sold 3 of them at £44 a pop; shameless, but not stupid.

    I beg to differ, whether it was an aircraft fuselage packed with alien Glen Miller clones, a J class Yacht with the masts off, Elvis's last cheeseburger, Shergar's horsebox or a WW2 Xcraft spacecruiser which landed there after a short flight from under the keel or the Tirpitz, it's very definately much a fucking submarine tonight!
