We have @Sam/IH in the house….visiting us from North Carolina. The shopping has begun in earnest....
-
BOOM.
Proud Dad announcement.
The diving company that @Alex is now part owner of, has won the contract to provide dive 24x7 dive support to the dredging that needs to be undertaken for the arrival of our new 65,000 tonne aircraft carriers…..
Given that Portsmouth dockyards was a major target in WWII, that is likely to mean a shit load of unexploded ordinance to be identified and removed
Now all we need is some planes to put on the feckers.....

What a great week so far: @ROman (was Sam/IH) from North Carolina here yesterday, @Jett129 from New York here today, both lovely guys and we're so delighted and honoured that they made time during their respective visits to come down to Gosport! Giles is currently at the pub with @Cutlasshound and on Saturday we're joining @GingerMagician for birthday celebration drinks in London. And then great news from @Alex today.
Big smiles all round

Scientists might have found a ringworld orbiting a star 1500 light years away.
OK, it's only a hypothesis, but it's far more interesting than a trail of comets being bumped into orbit around the star by a passing stellar object.
So does @Giles or @Haraki-san hold the rights to sell Iron Heart to extra-terrestrials?
And congratulations to @Alex too. Try not to set off any unexploded ordnance whilst you're down there!

And in other ground-breaking news, it's theorised that the Dutch and Belgians won independence from the Spanish because of beer!
Swinnen suggested that the Low Countries (Holland and Belgium) won their independence from the Spanish because of beer. They financed their armies from beer tax, while the Spanish relied on tax on silver. The beer won.
The last sentence could be @Seul's motto.

That's good news Giles, nice contract. I know the've been working on that one for a long while.

Boom - literally…..
We've bust the loom that makes the UHR (21/23oz) denim.
We are not sure if it can be fixed. We'll find out in a week or two.
If it can't, then the UHR jeans we left, will be the last.....
On the basis that it was me who urged us to remake the 21/23, I guess I'm persona non grata atm.....
-
So…. You're saying anyone that has ever considered a UHR purchase should pull the trigger ASAP?

When someone gives you unidentified shots and tells you to "finish strong", your night is not going to end well.
