One of my bosses many year ago was an ex underwater bomb disposal expert based on a submarine. What a ****ing job that is! The mind boggles. Bad enough living on a sub but then exiting it at whatever depth and conditions to go deal with an explosive device underwater. Can't imagine there are many people that would want to do that even if they were capable.
If you want to kill your liver go drinking with them - feck me they can put it away.Comment

Rather than brothel staff suffering the numerous horrors usually associated with the Occupation, they were patronised by many of the most important figures in the Third Reich, as well as hundreds of more junior officers.
This meant huge injections of cash, almost unlimited amounts of black market goods and even donations of art treasures plundered from more blighted outposts of Adolf Hitler's sprawling empire.Despite the vast profits involved, Buisson suggests that it was not just the financial incentive that made the French women welcome the Germans with such warmth.
They were genuinely impressed by the charm and gentlemanly behaviour of many of the Teutonic officers.
Buisson says: 'Everything indicates that the new clients who arrived in the summer of 1940 were given a favourable form of treatment that the seductive power of the Reichsmark alone could not entirely account for.'
In short, the women often preferred the German invaders to their own countrymen.Comment
