autobutcher Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Not wanting to poke holes in AJs and big G's theory but how in the hell does the fish put the fag in behind its gills, you can buy waterproof matches so lighting is not a problem but the fins won't reach to place the fag.

yoodoo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm going to poke another hole. The average life of a fish ( in general) is 2-10 years. You can legally smoke @ 16 years so therefore the fish shouldn't be smoking. Naughty fishy. J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The explanation is a little mundane but Hartung's inspiration is still a myster, so I'll just put it down to Absinthe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) HMS Warspite: The greatest battleship, of all time. What makes her the greatest? Well... -Most awards for a British vessel, during WW1. -Most awards for a vessel, of any nation, during WW2. -The only ship to take part in active duty for both wars and survive. -Her Fairey Swordfish float-plane was the first aircraft to sink a U-Boat, during the war and the ONLY battleship-launched aircraft to ever sink a submarine. -The flagship of the most one-sided victory in modern naval history. -Holds the world record for longest successful artillery shot, from a moving vessel to a moving vessel, when she hit the fleeing Italian Battleship Giulio Cesare with her first salvo, at a range of 24.1km!! FYI, that's waaay over the horizon. -In 1916, during the Battle of Jutland, she was holed 150 times, kept fighting and still managed to leave, under her own steam! She also, inadvertantly, saved the immobilised cruiser HMS Warrior, when (with her stearing jammed, due to damage) she circled in-front of Warrior, shielding her from German artillery fire, long enough for Warrior to get back underway. -First ship to fire her guns on D-day, signalling the start of the assault. -More enemy ships sunk and more battles won than any other battleship, in history. -Undefeated (arguable, both sides claimed victory at Jutland). -Broke free of her rigging, TWICE, while being towed to scrap... the crew claimed she was trying to escape, back out to the North Sea, where she belonged. There's probably more, but the list is long! She should never have been scrapped. Edited February 10, 2018 by Praet0r87 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
