Big Kev said...: I followed that link and clicked on Moray Firth. Way up in the top right corner was Hirta, a (an?) FP vessel. I'd seen her on the telly not 10 minutes before. Small world, eh? :o); 10:37 am, April 12, 2009

Combination of AIS/Google/BBC news. Without the internet, writing my thesis would take a lot longer.; 3:20 pm, April 12, 2009

Fiona-Jane Brown said...: Oh how sad. It really upset me when that crash happened. Feel even more sorry for the guy that missed it cos he had to work an extra shift. Sounded very like he was in the early stages of survivor's guilt on the news.

On a lighter note - is that database of old internet sites still going? I mind looking at the original college pages there.; 1:03 am, April 13, 2009
AktoMan said...: Aberdeen is a small place, even if not affected directly.
