Why Red October Euan?

Have you seen the size of a caddis tube?

[Euan Innes]

Several reasons Iain.
My nylon usually gives with a ping. Only one ping mind Vasiliy...

I got it when tubes started out at Haddo and loved it because it was silent and deadly.

But mostly because that Coastguard chappy and I have a warped sense of humour and his Caddis 2 was the Ark Royal for a while 

And lastly, every one loves a Sean Connery impersonation!

BTW, it's Oktober with a K. It's Russian you know  (the RO patch and the hammer and sickle have now been sewn onto the Shakey)

I know, I'm nuts

 

[Iain Goolager]

Eezveeneetye Euan, Ya khatyel skazat - Krasniy Aktyabr!

I know I'm nuts

couldn't possibly comment old boy (to be said in a Jimmy bond accent)

Is she sailing on Sunday?

Ah yes..... it still is the Ark Royal but, in common with government cutbacks, it doesn't get out much these days

"Is she sailing on Sunday?"

Can't dude, terrorising the trout further north. Having a day on a 'loch near Inverness' with the Coastguard.
Could be the perfect storm

Is she sailing on Sunday?

Should that not be "Is she Shailing on Shunday"

So what are we calling the Shakey then? Not the Kursk i take it

Good Lord what did I start!!

Obviously the double OOHH section is on overtime today and licensed to LOL 
Fifty years ago McCarthy would have you lot strung up for this style of Commie outburst, OK Yan?? Or is that your cover name?? Dan dan daaaan  ................

This started as a bit of navel tomfoolery and it stuck. Me being me, I went and got some badges and sewed them on a tube, then put them on the next tube. That tube is...

Red Oktober II

In the same way that American pilots used to paint shark teeth on their P-40 Tomahawks, I thought this might catch on. I guess nobody but me and H agreed! 

OK, some I'll get back in my blue police phone box and get back to my world now....

 

[Iain Goolager]

What about A kula Shaken not stirred

Bond - shaken not stirred (obviously)
Band - Kula Shaker (again obviously)
Red Submariner - Akula (Roosky for Shark - Akula class hunter/ killer sub)

Red Oktober eleven? silly choice 

nuff of this nonsense.

This thread reminds me of a chapter in a wee book I was given at Christmas a few years ago by my in-laws.
'A Scottish Miscellany' has loads of useful tit bits in it, but the one that always corpses me up is the 'accents not attempted by Sean Connery in movies'.
Worth buying the book for that alone

One ping only Vasily......
