I'll deck you...

Leaving aside the puns, there is a rather wonderful beauty about these huge ships, as they wander about the world. Fabulous examples of engineering.

 

[Keith Oates]

However, like most things these days, they are being built down to a price and not up to a standard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Globalti]

Well well well, any more puns in the pipeline?

 

[Keith Oates]

Yes, there are manifold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never read such a load of bulwarks.

Watch it dude...I might just stamp on your plimsolls...

I draw the line at comments like that Martin.

(See, it's your fault all this waste of bandwith started! ) I often hear words like 'this tanker has got a deck the size of a football pitch' etc. If this is true, could the next World Cup be played all around the world? Not a vuvuzela (that 'traditional' South African delight that hadn't been heard of before they discovered plasticky tat and commercialism) to be heard, and the Somalian Pirates XI should lift the trophy - after several shots...

You would have to measure the pitch of the pitch.

You would have to measure the pitch of the pitch.

Only if it rolled

 

[slowmotion]

This nonsense has gone on far too long....

I'm starting to yaw...

 

[NormanD]

Think I'll navigate away from this one

You would have to measure the pitch of the pitch.

Puns aside, I friend was in the merchant navy, they had a billiards table on board the ship and pet goldfish – who got seasick in rough weather .​

Some of the posters are going completely overboard... the thread needs someone to steer it back to the original theme. What a shipload of tankers they are!
