Not a scooby doo 😂

I recognised only two of the names and knew Yamamoto was second world war so I picked the other and it was right

😁

Picked number one just like in school had a 25% chance to be right.

I had no idea could have been any of them as far I was aware 🤣🤣

Remembered that one from my obsession with Japanese warships. Should you have a similar obsession this is an incredible website that you can easily get lost in…http://combinedfleet.com/

Of course it was Heihachiro Togo, I was there. I am old, I remember that.

Hi Roy,
Re "Can you have deja vu again?"
Yes Roy you can on this site!🙄
Apart from the QOTD we get it with several different people asking the same questions over and over again without noticing that the same queries have already been dealt with in depth.

Today's QOTD has been asked before, and caused quite a debate.
But this time with a subtle difference, two words have been added to the question 'charity funded'. Thus avoiding the ambiguity and debate we had last time.
Cheers, Doug😎

Aye, gagged on that one me self Mike! Grey day here as well, but who cares? In a good mood and will be a productive one. Good morning to you too! 😊

Hey shipmates!
Gave a wrong answer today, didn't always want to be first!
Do you believe me? Hardly!
My joke for a grey day!
Good Morning all!

Hi Ed growing old is going to be the longest job you have ever done! It is not as if you will ever see the finished product either.

So Keep on Keeping on.
Roy

Growing old is not for the faint hearted 😂

Can you have deja vu again?
Roy

Well i had to sit and think about that question. I have never made a diorama and needed to make fake water. Not even when I hade a model train set on an 8x4 hardboard on a wooden frame. I used to by Airfix model houses and stations but never made water effects. So I just took a stab at Resin, But as Chum444 has said on more thinking yes I suppose you could use three of those and other materials like tissue paper and Plaster of Paris then paint it then a clear Resin on top.
But I build the models and never make the fae water. I have 4 plastic MTB's built and just stuck on the small stands they come with. I haven't even painted them. My hands are now too shaky and find doing them I would mess up the painting. So I only paint my R/C models these day's. God how I hate this getting old. But there are older people o here than me I would suspect and still paint little things, I just effect us in different ways.

I think I agree Ed P of P was used a lot.
However I use the real thing, the wet stuff gathered together in large amounts. And where the wind blows free, nothing like it,
Regards
Roy

Another stupid question I have seen all of these used and the most common being Plaster of Paris.

Then brush on modge podge and blow that around with your airbrush and you have great water ripples. 😉

I’ve used them all excepting wood.

We like each other😂😂and as we were all Mister beautifull in earlier days we wanted to fit in one picture for the local newspaper

Why do boat pilots have to stand so close to each other??

What an awful question!!!

It's a war memorial!!

Because the Arizona is considered to be a memorial, it is unlawful for divers to enter the ship, so careful egresses are made using underwater rovers that document interior conditions.


👎👎👎👎

Have you considered fitting a motion detection video camera?

We installed one in a dark green cover up high on a tree branch to record anything that moved. We were sure that the next door neighbour was coming onto the land and doing some dumping of soil. This was at our club site. He had already annexed some space at the end where his own garden came around the back of our site.
Mainly got wild life or perhaps he saw us do it?

Regards
Roy

Eeee there's nowt like a shopping trolley or a pushbike to present a hazard to navigation for model boats or snag up your fishing gear. UK canals and lakes are full of 'em. Even the odd corpse turns up now and again....

This is our pond!!!
I will not tell you who the writer is😂😂

Michel Bonjour, à good rainy morning overhere,
Our sailing pond 100x 40 meter has been especially built for our club. With 2 terrasses going down we have no problem with the wind. The pond is in concrete also the bottom and is 1 meter deep. We had to built a fence around to avoid that people throw all their old metal beds, refrigerators into it. We realised this when we put in the bows for our monthly competitions. And even now every time we arrive we need to gather the empty tins . People do not have any respect knowing that there’s a BIN to throw it in!!!!
Everything begins with education but sometimes I wonder if parents do know what it is!
I know I m getting old but I had to reply. It’s stronger as myself

Good Morning all,
. . . . It's actually crazy what lies at the bottom of the sea. .
It doesn't look any better here when our diving community calls for the lakes to be cleaned up!
I wonder where certain people's brains are!!!? 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Have a nice day,
Michel-C.
Ps: Sorry, didn't mean to play the moraliser . . .

I thought USS Arizona was a restricred dive site and you need a letter from The Allmighty to get anywhere near. This discussion seems to ring a bell....

Besides being a war grave, Arizona is ALSO in the middle of an active US Navy base.
It would be a little like diving around the piers of Portsmouth...😁

Monty used to say he had a picture of Rommel in his travelling office in the desert, so he could get to know the man!
Reality was he was being fed 'Ultra' secrets from Bletchley Park.
Roy

I have a recording of High Society in the memory part of my TV. A good film and I love Louis doing the voice over.
Roy

I agree Doug, it is a wonderful world!
AI may be of some use somewhere but some also think that this is another item that can be merchandised. I assume it has a lot of embedded politicians and consequently we are getting a lot or c**p as o/p.

Religion and politics will be the death of us all. I am sure somebody said that! Do your best to avoid other people's mantras and live life with a good regard to others.

Regards to all
Roy

AI doesn’t seem to understand the solemn concept of a war grave. 🙄

I love the way he sang that song😍

Nobody Ross!
AI, Artificial Intelligence allegedly does it.🙄
God (whoever your personal preference may be) help us when AI takes over the running of the world (and it's predecessor Google😮).
Hope I'm not around to suffer under it.
On the other hand-
Might be marginally better than Trump!!! (I did say MIGHT!)
'What a wonderful world!' Last word from Munich tonight to 'Ole Satchel Mouth'.

Who makes up these questions?

PS to 'Gunner Who'?
For the uninitiated and/or puzzled, that is the title of part of Spike's autobiography/memoirs, written in his own unique, inimitable, humorous style.😂🤣
The title harks back to his service in WW2 as a gunner in an artillery battery in North Africa, part of the 8th Army under General (Monty) Montgomery.
A highly recommendable read.
Cheers, Doug😎

None of the above. The USS Arizona is National Park memorial War Grave property that can not be dived upon. None of the other answers relate to the Pacific.

It's obvious at first glance at the proffered answers that USS Arizona (only one that went down in the Pacific) is meant.
BUT: USS Arizona as a popular dive site??? I don't think so.
I always understood that the wreck is a designated War Grave and as such private diving is forbidden.
The makers of the documentary on her fate and current condition (Lost Ships series) had to obtain special permission from the National Parks Service, who manage the wreck site and the Memorial centre built across it, to dive the site and explore the interior of the wreck.
I will never forget the comment of one of the survivors when speaking of his lost shipmates
"They went to bed ... and they never woke up".
Cheers All, FLEET (Honorary and Voluntary MB Site Naval Historian😁)

Gunner WHO? 😉

Read it! It's a great laugh and 'lifter of spirits'😀

Hi Ed. Roy is going to Woy Woy.
Not far from where Spike Milligan used to live. In the Woy Woy library they have a room dedicated to him and not far away a footbridge named after him.
Roy

Hi Roy

What part of Oz do you go to

Ed

Phew! Ehat was a close one, just glad Titanic was not an option!

Sunday now, so starting the countdown to my annual migration to the land of Oz. I shall be starting the yearly 'packing ceremony today I may even have list, if can remember where I put it.
There are not so many model boats there, just the real thing. The marinas are stacked full of yachts all with white sails! Weather might be a trifle wet, so fingers crossed.
Roy

Keel??😉

To make up for NORTH CHANNEL question🤣

25.2.24
Oh dear oh dear!🙄
To what depths has the AI sunk today?

😎

A guess, as it is the North Channel so I thought😐

Although I chose the right answer as far as the options were concerned. My answer is wrong because the Mull of Kintyre runs into the "North Channel" and that separates Scotland and Northern Ireland.😀

Mull of Kintyre is actually the tip of the Kintyre Peninsula and is land. The channel of water is known as the North Channel and connects the Irish Sea to the North Atlantic.

None of the answers are correct in my opinion. The only one that is a stretch of water is Belfast Lough. All the others are chunks of land . After a bit of research I believe one of the options should have been North Channel.😊

I'm just going to bed!

Good Morning!
Do all English people get up this early?
And this on a Saturday? Poah!
For me it's clear, I'm curing a coughing fit . . . I feel like a pack of polar dogs
😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
M.-C.

Just had a look on Wikipedia, a "Mull" is a rounded hill, an extremity, headland or promontory, so not actually a stretch of water. You could say it's a stretch of land I suppose...
