Love this…had a moment of deja vu when seeing the photos of the ship; it looked vaguely familiar so looked back through all my old vacation photos and found we’d been on board what I assume is Lyme Bay’s sister ship about 4 years ago in Bournemouth…the Mount Bay, L3008!!!
that flew over my house during my lunchbreak lol
It’s somewhat, a semblance of comfort knowing the British aren’t too far off shore in the event them “knuckleheads act-up”
By time they reach here de damage would be done.
you ain’t as scary as you think you are despite the threats of violence, which have become another PLP trademark.
Who might the knuckleheads you are referring to be Ray Ray?
Conscience pricking you?
(Inquisitive minds would love to know)By the way, who are you, “I and I”
Best way to beat rush hour traffic, I imagine.
