The Riverdance Ferry went ashore off the coast of Blackpool, North West England, on the 31st January 2008 - no-one died but I took it as a personal slant of my lack of book-keeping skills on the day before tax forms had to be submitted ... well, fuck YOU, Ahab, this is one beached whale you're not gonna harpoon ... unless you buy me a couple of nice cocktails! sailors! - ooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh! ... etc ...

Hope you don't mind if I use this as wallpaper on my PC at work - please say if you do - it'll help me get through the daily slog with a little chuckle every time I lock my machine ;o)
