    Over 30 freighters!

    We're bound to sink some of them before we're forced to dive again.

    I was just thinking about the Rubicon. Twenty-eight sure is great, but twenty-nine will be divine.

    Mr Slippery,

    Twenty-nine will be divine, but 30 is purty! ;)

    Oh boy, I'll probably regret this - it may cross the "line" (if it does hopefully we can turn back).

    A limerick:

    There once was a man named Bruno
    He said f#%&ing is one thing I do know
    A woman is fine
    A sheep divine
    But a llama is numero uno.

    ah phooey, I can't rout for those Germans. No, I'd like to see a nice, big steel-sided Greek fishing ship right in their lane, with miles of fishing cable spread out. Wouldn't really stop them, but would slow"em and cause them some pain.
    No way can I cheer on Ackermann and DB and the rise of the Fourth Reich, with British, French and American banks allied with the worst of the fat German bankers.
    I'm on the side of the Greeks, lazy, tax-evading, work shy and easy going. My peeps.

    If history is a guide, we shall all return to the "safety" of being underwater.

    OK Mark,
    Once you love a movie, there is no reasoning with you. These uboat guys were the bad mofos and needed to be sunk. In your heart, you know this.
    I leave you with this thought from the Blues Brothers....

    fried,

    I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but let's just say that it does not end well for the Germans. ;)

    And let's not forget the true heroes.

    Burning bridges!
