Either that or they have a really good taxidermist in their entourage :)Quote:

I suppose it earns them a buck or two, but I've always had this idea that tribute acts are a bit tragic. Still, they may be wonderful :D.
It draws a parallel I suppose, to acting. Imagine going through life only being known for pretending not to be oneself.

If you want to do your own stuff you need a good songwriter so doing a tribute is a good way to have a bit of fun without having to take it seriously.
In London today visiting art galleries, brought cash as I lost my bankcard, and it was almost impossible to buy some food, looks like cash will be finished soon for good. Tate Britain is amazing, much better than Tate modern which is always packed, on weekends anyway.
And especially the art itself which is much better in the Tate Britain.
That's a matter of opinion. ;)Quote:

Makes sense to keep them separate for security reasons.Quote:

I've never been to Glastonbury either, but used to watch it on TV. I stopped watching the coverage several years ago, but intend to watch some of it again this year.

Anyone who has never been and is just watching it on telly may be blissfully ignorant of the reality, which is down there under the crowd's feet (don't even think about sitting down), and the thousands-strong push across the fields, with the five bar gate-wide bottlenecks when everybody leaves to go to another stage. It was chaos then and I don't imagine it's got any better.
Attending one now would probably end me, though if I could just watch it from the comfort of a straw bale with Lauren Laverne, maybe...
Yes. It's OK for those in their teens I guess, but not me.Quote:

No me neither. I had a look around a submarine in dock one time but if they'd said 'Right we're diving now' I'd have been out of there faster than a rat up a drainpipe.Quote:

Like you say implosion is instant, you wouldn't even know you were dead. Feel bad for that 19 year old youth, whole life ahead of him.
yeah and they are real pro built things. that thing was a disaster waiting to happen. they didnt get it tested and approved because they knew it would have failed, probably on everything... hell it didnt even have a scrubber on it. and it needed someone with a spanner to open it again, from outside...Quote:

It always ended ok on "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". Even when disaster stuck and the Seaview was pissing in water, they could stop the leaks by just turning a few knobs. He knew his stuff, Richard Basehart.Quote:

Thing is, if the submersible is being used in international waters its use isn't regulated and doesn't come under anyone's jurisdiction. Of course that won't stop the families from going after them.Quote:

This is the state of play right now among Russian academics.
