or changed your plans

there go I but for the grace of God!

Methinks lashings of humble pie were consumed at The Rising Sun that evening! Still I'm sure RIB international will make an appropriate donation to a relevant charity, only probelm remaining is for subscribers to brace themselves and wade through what I'm sure will be a lengthy article.

Best gird my loins now, if I file an intentions report but get lost in the article can one of you lot come and get me out?

Is it just me or does it seem somehow wrong for someone to gain from this situation(HMS to write article) On a slow news day we’ll have journalist cutting their hands off to test the NHS or taking bombs into Windsor castle to test security......... oh hang on they already do that. Des

...isn't Coastwatch a voluntary outfit?

...maybe a nice shiny new Atlantic for the RNLI, even if it is named after the mag?

Good on the son but maybe Dad should also invest in a mobile phone and TURN it on?!

Maybe he' ll even confess to the errors of the day on here like others have had the balls to recently?

Now now gentlemen think of the longterm benefits for the comunity! The Rising Sun will probably get a blue placque out of this.... there'll be the inevitable docco on the telly...ok maybe this isnt a benefit!

You never know this may generate a feature in that beautiful ladies mag stateside.

Oh no OK I would like retract my previous statement and instead say that it is my honest opinion that all journalists would be above that type of skulduggery and that if anyone was to gain from this situation it should be HMS Des.
