Would love to go but can`t get the time off work.

Speaking of Cunard...

This is currently one of the most popular pictures on Imgur. As you can see it's of the Queen Mary II with her captain posing on the bulb.

Would love to see the risk assessment for that!

Apart from that, she needs a hull scrub.

Love that image

Something along the lines of:

Risk: Captain slips of bulb
Risk prevention: There isn't one

Would love to but too far from home and I don't think I'll be able to talk myself out of college a day before exam season starts

Are you planning to?

I saw a risk assessment of doing a basic science experiment with chemicals (not toxic) - it was about 5 pages long

Anyway someone was lazy enough just to scrub a platform big enough for him to stand on. - just imagine there was a freak wave or something happened onboard to make the boat pitch - he would have gone for a nice swim!

School is way to intrusive isn't it?

Don't they know how important the meeting of the Queens is?

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #25186 on:** March 11, 2014, 15:22:59 »

The Queens there?

No

Well, not that I know of, its just called that because they are all named after Queens.

That sounds nasty AA, you ought to see a doctor.

Halfway from London to Lanzarote at the moment, in flight wi-fi is great, hopefully some of the long haul airlines will start using it soon, although it's slow enough on a Boeing 737, dread to think how bad it would be on a bigger plane shared between so many more people.

Maybe if Malaysian Airlines had onboard wifi someone could have Tweeted were that plane has gone to!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Rub al Khali, or "Empty Quarter".

But seriously, how's it going for everyone? The forum has been so quiet...

I'm good, got back from my cruise on Wednesday

Wish I'd stayed longer! got some good pictures for the ship spotting topic when I get round to it

I haven't been here in so long, thought I'd check in. How's everyone?

larsdehaan · « **Reply #25194 on:** March 31, 2014, 15:20:33 »

Not bad, I just got a cross on my back, Made out of some medical tape.. To make me stand up right, Not like a bag of potato's..

Anyway, How are you?

dexter7 · « **Reply #25195 on:** April 01, 2014, 20:31:07 »

I'm doing fine, for the past couple of days it's about 55 degrees (Fahrenheit) here in New York, which is a far cry from the average 10 - 25 degrees it's been for the past few months, it got down to about -40 for a couple of days, yes, negative forty. And I think winter might just be over, although something tells me it's not over.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #25196 on:** April 01, 2014, 23:02:59 »

The weather here is...interesting...

Yesterday it rained all day, and this morning it was the worst blizzard I've ever seen (heavy snowfall, winds of 20-30 mph, visibility at times as low as thirty feet, and hordes of stuck cars). But since 10 it's been 40^o and partly cloudy.

But this winter was impressive; an entire week of -10 highs, a night that dipped to -70 (coldest recorded temperature in Duluth in over a century), five major snowstorms, and eight days cut from the school year. In theory it can only get warmer...

Here we meant to have smog but the airs been quite clean and no smog around here - (i can say when we have smog or if there has been smog as my glasses get covered in the particles

It has been smoggy in Singapore this week, I have just about gotten over the jet lag, I have been in the office for a week and was supposed to be joining a ship out here, now flying to Aberdeen tonight to join a ship there instead, so another week of jet lag coming up!

Do me a favour and say "Hi" to any Skandi boats that you come across!

You're bound to find one I'll be on... eventually...

Safe trip and all that.
