Nasty; we seem to get a tug being girted, or tripped, by its towline every 2 years or so, and it usually results in fatalities.'... English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't
just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages
down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for
new vocabulary.' - James Davis Nicoll

They found the missing man today, you wouldn't think that sort of thing would happen on the thames but I suppose it can happen anywhere. I just found out, the Tug was built in the town I'm living in, I had hardly heard of the ship yard before, to be honest it doesn't make sense it being there as the coast is a fair way away, anyway just an interesting suprise for me

We had something similar happen a few years back in Glasgow. Tug flipped over and all but one died on it.
Seems to happen a fair bit, quite worrying really...I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....
