Mike,
What has the fact that Titanic was built in Belfast with defective rivets to do with the topic? We were discussing Scottish culture as it applied to the author of the topic, not to the Titanic.
Nathan, what have you got against the Hillman Minx? I drove one in the 60s and found it to be a good motorcar. I even traded up to a Sunbeam Alpine during my “Stirling Moss period”.

I have nothing against the Minx, i just prefer the Imp depsite it's habit of catching fire every 3 seconds

How in the world did this thread get from shouting off the deck of Titanic to Scottish Tartan?

Nathan, it was not about “Shouting off the deck”, but about the ocean talking.
D’ye no ken Gaelic, mon?

Why should we let an inherently useless topic go to waste? Recycle…

[TerryRussell]

As with all useless topics this one has turned into a home for chatting about random stuff. It goes like this:

1) Topic Created, useless content
2) Few members come along, tell the poster how much of a jerk he is "what has this got to do with SS08" etc.
3) Starts to go gradually off topic until you end up talking about Tartan, Marmite or Terry's old Hillman Minx.

Just to complete it, then.

Hi Marty. Yes, Hillman Minx. My old one is shown towards the top right on the Album cover of te Beatles Abbey Road (red and white, 1954, 3 forward gears, 1 reverse, bench seat at the front, so column change gears).

There, Nathan. Now we are complete. You did forget

"Some kid tries to act like a grumpy old man" in your list of actions, though...

If the author of the topic had wanted a discussion on his presumed Scottish parentage then he would have called the topic that in the subject line!! He didn't and wanted the discussion to be on Titanic!!

I agree the Hillman Minx was a fine car. as a boy I always coveted the Riley derivative!

Thanks

Mike

Mike, the topic was not the Titanic, but his auditory hallucination that happened to take place on that ship.

If he didn’t want his Scottishness discussed, he would not have specifically mentioned it. Nor should he have attempted to write in Gaelic.

Of course I didn't actually point at you. But if you want to wear the Victor Meldrew hat, that's OK.
