Reminds me of the telegram sent to a submariner at his wedding reception from the submarine: "Report speed and depth at midnight."

British Rail wanted to field an entry but pulled out because there was the wrong sort of water for their submarine.

'The truth is that I already know
as much about my fate as I need to know.
The day will come when I will die.
So the only matter of consequence before me
is what I will do with my allotted time.
I can remain on shore paralysed by fear,
or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze.'
That's Richard Bode from 'First you have to row a little boat'. Good book, and by coincidence that quote is on the back of our catalogue.
I don't think this submarine racing will catch on as a spectator sport. The beer gets watered down and the crisps go soggy.

That's a great piece John, not seen it before - even if we are making this thread a bit serious. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sorry about that. I thought submarine racing was a serious subject!
I was surprised to see the quote in Yoty's signature because the book is not too well known on this side of the pond. It uses sailing as a metaphor for life very effectively. Oops, getting serious again!
