Navy docu-soap

Don't waste your time with it. Watch the excellent dramatisation of "The Long Firm" on Beeb 2, instead, also at 9.00pm.

WOW, Awesome!

And some BBC News idiot said she had 'failed', still a World Champion and the very best of British IMO. It's a wonder the BBC dared screen it since she wasn't wearing a lifejacket....

A donf Ellen, way to go! Eat your heart out Beckhams, you ain't in the same league!

I'm a fan in case anyone wonders.

Re: WOW, Awesome!

Do you think a boat like that is a little too fast for me?
BTW, Why is it called a boat and not a yacht?

Re: WOW, Awesome!

Well if Ellen can manage it on her own who knows, you buy it and I think we could get a crew together!

No 1 Moose might not be too keen on the climb up the mast to free a stuck halyard though.

Perhaps the cabin is a little to small for my antlers.

Re: WOW, Awesome!

have to say that I never thought of her being the jolliest person, but tough? That's a whole different thing. Awesome indeed.

We all have to make sacrifices. Of course the stern cabin might be claustrophobic.

Re: WOW, Awesome!

We met her briefly once at a book signing (I bought 2 copies!) and again at Earl's Court, a lovely person regardless and despite of the unbelievable achievements.

Put me down as #1 fan.
