SS Richard Montgomery, will it blow?
Just had a news feed alert for the SS Richard Montgomery.
Could make for some interesting ribbing should it go up. 
Luckily we're far enough away in Herne Bay to maybe only loose the glass in the windows and we live by the seafront on a large hill so hopefully the tidal wave will only lick the front path, but who knows exactly how much explosive is down there. I feel sorry for everyone in direct sight who would lose a lot more.
Been round it a few times on the rib and its gives you a eery feeling seeing the masts sticking out and knowing whats down there.
I've attached a you tube video of it too from a few years ago for anyone who's interested. 
BBC News - SS Richard Montgomery structural collapse 'getting closer'

On a lighter note,
regarding the isle of sheppy ,many years ago a new girl in the shipping office that i worked at was asking if she needed customs clearence for a delivery of containers from yorkshire to the isle of sheppey ,,thick bitch, 
think she thought it was in the Pacific .

Making fun of someone who doesn't know where somewhere is and then calling them a thick bitch, that's really clever mate.

I'm thinking that M Chappelow didnt mean to cause offence. I'll wait for his reply.
 
To be fair the wife didnt have a clue where Jersey was and geography isnt my strong point.

Some people ARE thick. And willful ignorance is not a defence, although some appear to revel in their lack of general knowledge.
Fair's fair though. Silly B1tch was a bit strong - I prefer Daft B1nt

Bint's ok; it quite endearing in a way. I often call Mrs GJ0KYZ a bint. Didn't Basil Fawlty call Polly a cloth-eared bint in the Gourmet Night episode?
