Always amazed me that the Germans were able to penetrate scapa flow and sink the HMS Royal Oak.Must have been horrendous for the sailors aboard.

It's a turkish word meaning fate. It's insane to think that he said it rather than just kiss me.

And you're wrong. He said "kiss me hard"y, hardy kissed him on the cheek and forehead and then he said "god bless you hardy", some nonsense like "fan, fan ... rub, rub ... drink, drink" and died. There's about six witnesses to it.

You know the score. Photos or....
