  1. lol 😂 I was hoping someone would catch on. Anyway the champion of free speech to the rescue it would seem.
  2. Let’s wait until the first budget, then you will see the reality of this government.
  3. I run it until it dies, it’s my way of doing my bit for the environment.
  4. Yep Chris was a lucky guy, general consensus is the loss of his hot water supply caused rapid cooling and a really high PP02 mix in his bale out ( emergency cylinders you see on his back) set up was what kept enough 02 in his system to keep him ticking over. Since then one of the subsequent actions from the many studies and lessons learned has been the nearly universal adoption of the “ cobra “ rebreather emergency back up system, this gives a far greater duration if you lose main gas.
  5. I’d say you are pretty much bang on,Reality is if you got off you lived if you were down below when it went under you were done for. There is the exception such as the Nigerian Cook rescued by a sat team in an upturned tug a few years ago but that is a one off. Recovery of the hull whilst not difficult id imagine will not be done quickly.
  6. Lot of variables Peds, there’s commercial diving going on pretty much everywhere including the Mediterranean at some point. Nearest DSV in that area and was it on dive ops or was a team In sat onboard ? who knows but in reality it’s what was there at the time and often the insurance side of things and regulations can get in the way of the best method. The Italian's are very clued up with the diving game, I’m sure the police divers involved were very competent well trained guys. Use of Scuba commercially in the UK is a massive no no but we still have the Police using it too. The number of dive companies/ vessels available at any one time is down to many factors not just country or location, so no fixed numbers just what’s out there working. UK and Europe/Norway there’s always plenty, there’s several DSV with guys in Sat as we speak diving 24hrs a day in the North Sea and loads of Nearshore/ Onshore operations ongoing most of the time. Sea state is very much dependent on the dive platform, North Sea DSV will operate in 5-6m seas with a heave compensated bell, Air Diving 2-3m seas as long as you can give a lea for diver recovery. The RHIBs I saw being used by the rescue divers maybe 1-1.5 m tops. If you want to see what a decent DSV can work in you should if you haven’t already watch “ Last Breath “ . This is definitely the longest most civil reply to you ever, you have absolutely ruined my night 😡😂
  7. The diving at 50m is well within the air diving range, hence we see Italian rescue teams using scuba to bounce down, they presumably are doing no deco diving judging by the limited bottom times being mentioned, but I’m not privy to what gas mix and dive tables they are using. Scuba is not ideal for wreck entry as it’s all too easy for the guy to lose his way or get snagged up and end up a casualty himself. Surface supplied would have been far better with comms, camera, lights and a large supply of gas. I guess what was available at the time and how quickly were the determining factors. Air pockets sound good in theory but in reality it’s not the lack of air/oxygen that gets you but the carbon dioxide build up from exhalation. I guess the facts of the matter will come out once the hull is raised, which in itself isn’t a difficult task.
  8. It’s having a different or in their eyes wrong opinion that causes so much anger. That and reading or quoting the wrong media source. At the very worst it passes a bit of time between tides for myself 😂
  9. lol 😂You not realised that’s the piss being taken out of you boys SP not whinging, you all take yourselves far too seriously 😜
  10. There’s more than myself on here and in the general population it would seem concerned at the current level of controls being implemented by Starmer. Be proud of your team SP don’t deny its existence. Regarding your comment about interesting news, looks very much like a lot of people are very much concerned about the immigration crisis, does that make them far right or racist I wonder.
  11. The reality was the topic at hand was free speech, but let’s not that get in the way of a good accusation session 🤷‍♂️Daves a racist Daves a bully, Daves a bigot, Daves a misogynist, Daves a homophobe, Daves an islamaphobe etc etc etc 🥱 As I’ve always said put up the proof rather than your opinions. Im not suprised you guys are cool with the potential restrictions or controls on speech as quite frankly there’s a few on here can’t stand anyone having a different opinion. Please see attached images. 🤷‍♂️
  12. You are sliding down the unsubstantiated accusation route again SP That didn’t work out too well for the team previously now did it.
  13. The Arbtalk left is up and running emboldened by numbers 😂
  14. You do know there are existing legislation that covers all of that ? it’s not though is it 42 “ the moral consensus” . All you’ve done is dumbed it down to the lowest level you could to try and make a point. Listen as was the case during the farce certain people will accept anything and question nothing, you think it’s wonderful I think it’s a dangerous path to follow. 🤷‍♂️we ain’t gonna agree and the team getting back together for some mutual back slapping support won’t change much. Starmer is in for a while yet unfortunately.
  15. Yep all so simple 🤷‍♂️ Be careful whet you wish for.
  16. But who decides which of the ideologies are harmful ?? Talk of silent prayer outside abortion conics being banned I see !. It’s ok supporting this crap when it suits or you agree with it but it’s a very slippery slope to go down.
  17. ?? Explain please because as I understand it asylum should be sought in the first safe country ?? Let’s be honest about this there are a lot of people crossing the channel who are not vulnerable or in danger but more for economic reasons than anything else.
  18. Agree with much of it but France and the other countries they came through are not war torn. I think if Starmer genuinely gave a toss about the boats he’d have backed the Rwanda scheme rather than fought against it as the deterrent effect when it looked likely was all too obvious judging by what happened in Southern Ireland. Truth is he never wanted it to work imo.
  19. What we know about sloth virus - and where it's spreading APPLE.NEWS Cases of the oropouche virus, unofficially known as sloth fever or sloth virus, have been found in... Covid was yesterday man, Sloth is where it’s at now. You need to keep up Von Pedowitz 😂 That’s the spirit peds
  20. 😂😂😂 Im sure you have studied his work. Baby shit tactical genius in our midst.
  21. lol easy peds don’t forget it’s a Sunday. Ive no facts to find my strategic genius. You seem to think taxing the rich to throw more cash at the nanny state can solve poor parenting 🤷‍♂️. Anyway you appear to be an expert on these matters, also as is apparent on other threads on tactics and afv survivability. I’m sure Zelenskyy is keeping an eye on your suggestions.
  22. Exactly Peds More taxation of the rich because of bad parenting, same old left bs 🤷‍♂️ Stick to fantasising about the war in Ukraine or killing rats ffs. You can’t buy common sense.
