Watching a documentary on the Battle of Jutland and the Germans did a huge simultaneous course reversal and brought their guns into range using what looked like a huge handbrake turn . The type of turn usually only done in sea trials as the risk is almost as big as being in range of the RN guns .
Still let’s keep the fun going and we will mark the thread Open House , fill your gunnels

Yes, yes, Vladimir Vladimirovich, in order to continue as president you have to resign, no need to read the rest - so if you'll just resign at the bottom please. By the way, I noticed, there's a beautiful sunset visible from the window at the top of the stairs...
