Things to do in Scotland when you're dead.

[Diving Dude]

Blan, the plan should be, let me go in first, if l can get in everyone and there dog can follow.

[Digger]

Believe me, on the Zen we can all get in. Not going to be playing underneath the lorries mind, after this I must say I look at all bits of wreck much more carefully and see how well they're attatched before punting into them at speed!

Bloody hell Digs. No more James Bond stylee fights under wrecks for you anymore eh?!!

[Digger]

Tell you what, James Bond must have a fair few drysuits, because I nearly rendered mine very smelly and brown. I've never thought I was honestly goign to die before, and it's a funny feeling.

All credit to James too, who after we surfaced (we were in 15m of water) and I said I needed to take a minute and we'd go back down and have a look at the damage, offerred to call the dive there and then. Didn't need to after a few minutes, and it was worth going back down and seeing what had happened, as there was a lot of silt movement and the hole was definitely smaller than a Digger and twinset! Worth getting back on the bike asap I find with these things.

Glad you got out ok dude, BTW you've just made me even more wary of wrecks

Not really had the I am going to die feeling, but have had several oh shit this is going to hurt moments. generally cars/bikes or skis, and I seem to have got away with it up to now. Only truely scared myself whitless once underwater, third ever dive, several club members expected me to chuck diving after it. So I can sympathise.

By the way the hole was not that big, and I was not going in after you even if it had not collapsed.

The 2 starfish rolling out of the hole followed by the run of sand did have me a little worried! The silt out in the hole, meant I had no idea what had happened.

However, Woz and Digger doing Light Sabers on the Thesis with their torches was a joy to behold. SBR = 30 at that time!

Memories of the week include;

Digs looking properly shook up due to the above (I shouldn't be stood here right now kind of scenario).
'I Love Shearer!'
Waking up to 2 inches of snow and realising we're diving in that today.
'That' hailstorm. Geez that hurt.
Catching our own dinner. Never realised Squat Lobsters were so tasty.
Strange disappearing pissed canadians. (You needed to be on the Brendan to understand that one)
'Fiddy Cent'
The Chandalier on the Hispania.
'That' drinking game. Yes, The one with the OK sign and yes, that hurts.
Cheeky Vimto (or should be cheeky vomit after a pint of it!)
plus much much more I won't go into.

Cheers for a very very cool week one and all. I've not laughed till it hurts like that in ages. It was a true scream and a real learning experience too.

I particularly enjoyed doing it in front of Kev, who was using an SL6 as his primary torch at the time. An argument if ever it were needed that HID is the answer.

And there won't be a better wind up than dying Kev's hands bright blue for some time. Find a good food dye supplier, what you want is Lustre, and lots of it. OK, about 5 grams per glove, then off they go for a dive, and when they come back BANG! - the hands are blue. Totally covered he was, and it wouldn't wash off for a whole day! The bottom lip was out in force for a while after that.

[Digger]

Never drink the vimto by the pint. It always damages Mr Bantam.

Elsa saw my arms last night and couldn't get how I'd done it, and it took some explaining. I still reckon Woz was cheating with his limp-wristed OKs.

PS - I love Shearer too! SP3.
