Thane of Cawdor Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Something to do with EFTA and the 'special relationship' with Ireland, I think. Smartarse point not worth making. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There can be no greater display of loyalty than the flagship of the Royal Navy replicating the mobility of our gracious Monarch. Three cheers for WD40. Hip, hip...... Replacement ?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Good news, HMS Dauntless is defending the realm once again and some engine repairs took only a modest six years to complete Bad news, amidst reports that an unexpected contact was made with the seabed. HMS Prince of Wales is heading for dry dock for a service with Amsterdam offering to help. Edited August 31, 2022 by sophia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite surprised it's not been done by now, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 That's the Prince of Wales, having suffered a broken shaft a year ago, now fit for some propulsion trials. I can't help but think that the commissioning ceremony 2019 was premature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought you were on about the SNP ferries for a minute there I see they've cancelled summer sailings to Campbeltown until the end of August. https://news.stv.tv/highlands-islands/mv-hebridean-isles-ferry-route-cancelled-for-further-four-weeks-calmac-confirm Or "all of summer then" as us sticklers for months and seasons would have it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, now @orfc has crowbarred Calmac into the thread, who is going to tell him that their summer sailings timetable always runs from the end of March until the middle of October? This practice dates from long before the SNP came to power. Incidentally, I can recommend Wemyss Bay to Arran, then Arran to Skipness as being a far better trip from Ayrshire to Kintyre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
