Apparently it weakened what were already substandard rivets Found out a little while ago that my great great uncle was a boiler man on the ship and he survived He didn’t talk about the whole night is what I was told Coincidentally I had a great great uncle on board as well.

Shirley, RA’s Insurance company would have been calling the shots and deciding strategy. If RA paid out the contract, I presume their LLI wouldn’t have kicked in. I’d be confident that RA went through all the smart steps and managed the process to a plan from the outset. But sending out the wrong m...

Well that's a bit shit. 20 years ago it used to baffle me how fixated my mother was on older people dying; I used to joke about how every conversation seemed to contain a "have you heard that X has died?". Now I get it. It's when you hit the age when a whole raft of people who are part of your ment...

Interesting to see Wasim Akram paid Martin Crowe the highest compliment.

Pretty much the opposite. Massive respect.

If it includes 6ft 4 blokes then fair enough.

The 76-0 game against Australia in '98 really put a rocket up England. No it didn't. That was a tour sent to die - the scoreline just showed it was a bunch of young hopefuls and never-would-be types.

I mostly agree Mog. The reality is, when we're on, we are borderline unstoppable. Just ask the ABs.
