Dimples!

The manifold length is dependent on both the cylinders' diameters and the twinning bands. Older school bands such as the hideous spot welded Custom Diver abominations had a football pitch or two...

Deeply jealous. Though a pair roosted in our eaves in Wembley as usual this year, the most I've seen in the sky is four. Last year was an average year, with up to fifteen at a time.

I'm worried...

The way our governments have fetishised the private sector re. nuclear power is what's driven up the price. This insistence gives the likes of EDF the ability to make endless profit at the expense of...

This is becoming less problematic as high voltage DC becomes the norm. The move away from AC is being enabled by emerging switching technology replacing transformers.

High voltage DC is far more...

The failure to build nuclear is yet another failure of political leadership in the west. In this country, for example, Blair and his massive majority had the opportunity to get a programme underway...

That's ridiculous.

Mind you, it needn't be too much of an issue. I used to enjoy diving out of Portland on Protector, skippered by Ivor Jansen. It was a big RIB with a cabin and a lift; on scallop...

I'll go out of my way to watch the original Fail Safe, 12 Angry Men, The Third Man and many others. I paid to see a "director's cut" of A Touch of Evil round about the same time Notting Hill was...

Blimey, I'm not surprised it's popular! How the hell do they hold their pens?

How about aviators?


Mrs MarkP had a Typhoon that she loved - it weighed nothing and worked well... until it turned into the proverbial teabag. I had a Polar Bears that I liked for the first...

Yes... we both knew that...

This is why diving's expensive; the industry would collapse if kit wasn't diverphobic.

I was on a deepish wreck in a fjord and spotted a a very new looking Holycon Pathfinder reel in a bit of superstructure, so I signalled to my buddy to stay put and wiggled through the doorway, picked...

Nice. I saw my first thornback round there too. My favourite memory of White Nothe, however, wasn’t a drift. I spent most of that dive above a field of burrowing sea cucumbers, almost mesmerised by...

Iain,

Please stop.

I undertsand that you're convinced by your own godliness because you happen to have views that conicide with and / or were shaped by a ragtag collection of myths assembled...

Did you delete my post? You know, the one that merely implied that Iain has form?

Only if you're bored...

That's the one. thanks.

Reid's gone up in my estimation and didn't let him get away with much at all. She'll not be on his Christmas card list, nor will she be on Number Ten's preferred...

In the late 90s, when India and Pakistan were dick-swinging by testing nukes, the company I worked at inadvertently did its best to heighten tensions, due to series of unfortunate events.

I'm sure...

I think that damaging other people's property is Not A Good Thing, but this video brought a smile to my face this morning.

Read the comments below for endless egg-based puns.

I hate camping wit a vengeance, but I think your statement is ridiculous.

It's a really neat little stove, so of course you need it. What sort of man are you?

Anybody else amused by the coincidence of Iain's vapour-ware offer being for, er, vapour-ware?

I'd be more worried about galvanic corrosion. I doubt IP67 connectors would be even vaguely reliable in salt water, but I've been wrong before.

I'm delighted two divers have been found alive, but the poor man's son is still missing. I can't begin to imagine the father's emotional state.

Also, I love Anglo-centric news headlines. "Missing...

My visit was in '97. The wreck was still proud of the water, but deteriorating. We dropped in beside it and rumaged around until we found a hole to swim into. It was so beautiful, with sunlight...
