See the above post. Things are not terribly good...all I can say is that things are in flux...time will tell if that's good or bad.

Is that an HDML?
 
Man, I am tired today. My jog took a ton out of me, and I shan't see my girl until tomorrow, which is a shame, since for a skinny girl, she's actually pretty nice to curl up with.

This is obviously a decommissioned minesweeper but does anyone recognise it?

No, we're scrapping the new Darings and bringing these back into use instead as an economy measure.
