Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

I. I did that through a mutual friend

underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

My friend Chris had this album (amongst many others) and we used to listen to it in his front room at ear splitting volume whilst his Mum cooked his tea in the next room 😆

Saw a gig poster for Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich and thought "surely they're all dead" and oh boy this makes the Black Lace timeline look easy.

They're onto the 3rd iteration of Mick and Tich, with Beaky the only original, although they did burn through two more Beakys in the 90s and 00s.

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

So where did the water actually go then?
