Was it Prison Ship World by any chance.

I have to admit I had my doubts about whether Bateman would make it in the NRL but I've been well and truly proved wrong. I really hope English backs start to have similar success soon...

I'm not gonna expose myself if you're gonna call me a wazzock (that sounds wrong).

Well done I wish more would follow your lead

I've finally got into the top 10, but its cost me thousands. the tree is bare.

I went on that nearly 40 years ago on a school trip. The one they have now has a floor that goes clear at the touch of a button which is also fun. The railway they have at the same place also great .. it’s 52 degrees at its steepest! I’ve also been on the water powered railway between Lynton and Lynmouth in Devon. Very enjoyable.

It’s in this thread where I feel brave enough to admit I used to buy a magazine dedicated to Australian public transport systems.

Not sure if people have seen this little segment that ran on Fox league earlier this week. Great interview that gave a little more insight into John Bateman and what drives him. Becoming a huge star down there and I for one couldn't be happier for him. https://www.foxsports.com.au/video/league/league-life/bateman-on-league-life!747327

Possibly something of the politics board but ... today's front page 'story' in the Sun and what they have done to get it is beyond appalling. There is no public interest and it will obviously cause great harm and hurt to people. It's about, very tangentially, Ben Stokes and they have, like true heroes, waited until after the last press conference of the ECB summer before running it. Stokes's statement in response is remarkable for how measured and calm it is. I'd be happy lead a pitchfork wielding mob to burn down everything and everyone associated with the rag.

The we are all going to die moment for me was on a day trip from Kos to Rhodes. We took the Dolphin Hydrofoil across everything fine. Coming back a storm hit, the boat could no longer get up on its foils as the seas were too rough. Hydrofoil are built like aircraft, they are basically a lightweight aluminium can. This thing was being thrown about and every wave that hit sounded like thor was hitting the tin can with an hammer. The captain tried to hug the coast as much as possible but to get from island to island you have to cross open sea eventually. Eventually to everyones relief we made it back to Kos. Unfortunately we got back to the news that a ferry approaching Paros had run aground in the storm and 81 people had lost their lives. We had been on Paros ferry many times in past.
