Prefer ones about ships. Like Master and Commander. If that isn't too dull.

Yep, have read some Patrick O'Brien, but will try the Thomas Cochran, thanks.

I love some of the old naval history stories. Like the captain who had a sailor hanged on the spot for pointing out they were about to crash onto some rocks. It was an offence for a sailor to make his own navigational calculations at the time, only officers were allowed to. Hundreds died, the captain was washed up alive but was murdered by a local woman for his rings.
She confessed on her deathbed, apparently. Reminds me of my old line manager. Except that noone has murdered her yet, surprisingly.

Bearing in mind BP is on a long ban there were bound to be a raft of them appearing? That SandyD one in prof forums looks like a bit of a twunt as well.

There used to be a poster named SandyDown who was banned for being Anti-Semitic IIRC. Give it time.
