That’s the Roman play. And wasn’t it the damn Romans who caused the whole problem?

Scottish Play Act 2 scene 1 line 34
"Is this a dagger I see before me,
the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee..."
etc.
It has been a very long time since I was on the stage with this, I had a minor spoken role, but was in most of the major scenes as Menteith the voice of reason

Plymouth .... years ago ...
Ship loaded with Bananas - was refused offloading in various ports due to the late stage of the cargo .. it was over-ripe.
A fire started and ship was anchored off Plymouth. Camels Head Fire Station - who train and maintain a Ships Fire Fighting Team - attended. The holds were sealed for a number of days. Later when a hold was opened - a flash-over occurred and the ship was again ablaze ...
The ship had multiple hold explosions and sadly 10 Firemen attending were injured along with a number of ships crew. She had to be beach to prevent her from possibly capsizing and sinking.
Ship : MS Barrad Crest
IMAGO.
362 – The Banana Boat
I had all my Fire Training for Ship-board at Camels Head Station .. and the events of the Barrad Crest were part of the lectures.
Camels Head : Another event - but not related to same - was being told by one of the Fireman Lecturers .. it was noted that one of the Cadets of our group had gone quiet .. face pale and looked as if he was about to keel over in a faint.
The events being talked about were a fatality on a BP Tanker using breathing apparatus. For some years - a system of Buddy BA was in use by some ships ... where a single air supply would feed multiple masks .. it could be from ships own compressor system or a bank of tanks. The incident involved people entering a cargo tank with such buddy system. Here I have to admit that my memory may not be quite 100% .. but it was 3 people .. and two did not survive. By time they were lifted out of the tank - they had died.
One of them was that Cadets brother.
What added to the lads suffering - was the enquiry made mention of his brother maintaining the demand valves of the gear.
