As I and well maybe 2 people if lucky here know lol, it's the 90th anniversary of the sinking of Lusitania :whocares:

Incase you don't know what the story is, A Cunard Liner was torpedod by a german sub during the great war while she was comming into Ireland. There was an second explosion in the ship, today we still don't know why, the Germans claim they only fired one torpedo. So people have been debating what caused the explosion, some say she was transporting muniations to the allies, some say it was caused by coal vapour.

Absolutely not! I've been old for a while now. Not grown up however.

Thanks all - I went over to motomail just now to see if my present had turned up - but alas the new Shoei X-spirit Kagayama TC5 Limited edition helmet won't be there till monday. :wait:
