Hi all,

Er, no. "The Cruel Sea" is about a corvette running convoy escort in WWII. I think you're thinking of "Open Water".

Eeeeeeeeeeek... yep... mistake... [:)]

BTW, still love the "H.M.S. Ulysses" by Alistair MacLean...

Shame that it was never turned into movie!

Probably because it was too depressing. (SPOILER ALERT) After all, everybody dies. Who but a Russian would like that kind of story? (Sorry Yury![:D]). At least in the Cruel sea SOME of them survive![:)]

"Lady" GaGa does serve a useful purpose. She provides a baseline to judge just how low a person will lower them selves for fame. [:D]

Apparently the story of David and Goliath is incontrovertible proof of the existence if aliens. [X(][8|]

Freehand is for spray and pray like 10mm SMG. I would go for VATS every time. Easier on the ammo too.

Completely untrue. In Russian stories 1 person survives....someone needs to be the voice. [:D]

Yeah, but he's usually a prisoner of the Cheka or the KGB or someone waiting for a "natural death" due to a "9mm brain hemorage!"[:D]

I seem to recall that exactly 2 members of the crew on the Ulysses survived.
