Interesting wording

I saw this recently and there has been a lot of chat on forum about risks attached to going out on RIBs. This wording on helm consul is interesting

Goody - The Guessing Game!

I guess it's on a Sith Ifrican Whale Spotting Safari boat? It's the spotter's tower.

I think you are right. It still looks crap! I wonder whether they have conducted stability tests with someone standing up there? It must raise the centre of gravity big time.

Qantas is Australian, so my guess would be therefore Australia?

Over there, they do not have any such thing as corporate manslaughter or negligence ....

Therfore, the words are the only safety brief you are likely to get

I am pretty sure that is Hout Bay in South Africa, the big red cat in the background is Nauticat Charters which operate out of Hout Bay.

I like your thinking. So if he was wearing a Benneton sweatshirt it would have been in Italy?

Guys, I'd be careful Willk is in a fractious state, like a foxhound which almost got its prey, but was beaten to it... ...he bagged one of the biggest cockiest spammers we've seen but Nos got to pull the final trigger; instead he got left to dust out the for sale cupboard.

Err no, it's Nathan Sharpe, who captained the Wallabies on the autumn international tour.

Now what was the score again at Twickenham last November...

Sadly Sharpie has finally retired. A Western Force stalwart and all round good guy. Respect.
