Classic British Flight Sim

Can you imagine on real time taking a fourteen day cruise to idylic settings in the Med and when you get to the first port of call after spending three looooong days behind the wheel a message appears on the screen..........Ship run aground.........Restarting!!!......AAAARGH!!! :brick:

Nigel.

I never said relive the transatlantic ship crossing , Though Dover Calais could be quite good fun considering the amount of traffic that runs up and down there.

I agree a ship sim has its limitations and those with less than say 3 week attention spans need not apply LOL.

l'll leave this here before it 'sinks' any further

Which reminds me earlier this year I bumped into a Royal Navy Commander I had the misfortune of having to work with in the past...so I said politely "Hello Sir, how are you?" to which he replied "I retired from the RN last month, you can call me Richard" so I replied "OH?, OK Richard, but I always thought of you as a DICK! "

Hehehehehe. I'm an engineer in the RFA, so I'm in the fortunate position of being able to tell them what I really think Most of the time though I try to avoid them like the plague, but on occasion I do have to spend time at their establishments, and as soon as they see I have diamonds on my shoulders instead of rings they all start looking down their noses at me... the ironic thing is my qualifications go a lot further than their ones do!

The USCG quite often operate helos off of RFAs in the Caribbean, and one day one of the Americans asked what the difference was between RFA diamonds and RN rings. The now immortal words were spoken by an RFA engineer:

"Diamonds are a girl's best friends, and rings are for a**eholes."
