Me too. No response. Just like it would be if their firewall was blocking me...

A good idea but I'm not sure they could afford it. Now Gaddafi would certainly be able to get his hands on enough dosh, and he may need a new secure home fairly soon.

I believe a boat is a hole in the sea you throw money into.

Proposals for it include turning it into a commercial heliport, a base for security personnel during the London Olympics, or a school and nightclub.

A school and nightclub.

I wish my school days were like that.

Carrier HMS Ark Royal put up for auction on MoD website.

The aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal has gone up for sale on the Ministry of Defence's auction website. The Royal Navy's former flagship was decommissioned two weeks ago after 25 years' service as part of the government's defence budget review.

Buying your first boat is the best day of your life. The second best day is selling it

Sailing your own yacht is like standing in a cold shower tearing up twenty pound notes

er, no thanks
