anybody interested in ships
 

ive been having a prolonged break from work ,so ive been watching ships going up and down the coast when walking the dog.so to put a name to a ship i came accross this website Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions i know there is major nato excercises due with the amount of warships about but when i looked north west theres a fleet of russian fishing boats arrived.do we think our journalist friends will report this.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Ya couldn't make it up could ya:D:D:D

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

I have used that site for a long time now and find it interesting.

Where are the Russian ships? I will have a look to see where they go.

Probably they are too big to get up the Leeds Liverpool canal so we can rest in peace.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Ya never know Gremlin they're very sneaky them Ruskies:D

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

We had better get ready for them John, just in case.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Beware of reds under the bed, or hiding on AccyWeb Gremlin:D

I suppose it must be quite boring when the circus closes down for the winter. Never mind, C'mon, soon be time to get out your red nose and baggy trousers!

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

far north west scotland .ive been watching us , uk warships and law enforcement .its the busiest ive ever seen it up here:)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

:D:D ha ha herrings

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

It's a great site, I first came across it when that Irish ferry was stuck on Blckpool sands a few years ago.

As well as Russian trawlers, there are vessels from Iceland, Faeroes, Holland, France, UK and Lithuania in that cluster. There must be a heck of a lot of fish!

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

A lot of them pull into Aberdeen & yes I'm aware of the AIS, due to my Dad's ship spotting tendencies & I did make mention of it in a blog I wrote a while back.

Oh look ..... More Ships ! - Accrington Web

For those of you who may be mildly interested. :)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

I didn't know you had a pier in Accrington! ;):D

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Yes we have, but he was arrested yesterday for doing it in a public place.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

"I didn't know you had a pier in Accrington"

Re: anybody interested in ships

Re: anybody interested in ships

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

It is unlikely to be possible unless they are on just routine maneouvers near ports.

This is a news report that shows that the chinese are doing it surreptitiously.

Chinese military 'using WA station' to spy on warships

If the info was readily available on the web, there would be no need for what they are doing in Australia.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

I was wondering that as Cmon mentioned Nato exercises - I will have a closer look at the Clyde area...

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Theres 3 in Gare loch.if theres a way the Chinese will find it lol

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

There is ships in the vincinity they keep appearing and disapperaing but the excercise's don't begin till the 28th. Hms defender isn't commissioned yet but is getting built at govan.cant wait till the aircraft carriers are done thatll be a sight as they will have come past.

Re: anybody interested in ships

Re: anybody interested in ships

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

I sat there and watched the paint dry on my neighbours door yesterday:rolleyes:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

We once went to Morecambe to watch the traffic lights change- they're really good, three different colours! The crowds all cheered each time they changed.
After three hours we got fed up and went to see Eric- he's good too, never moves, not like those young 'performers' with white faces and clothes stood on boxes.
I think I prefer the traffic lights to cmons ships.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

theres lovely scenery as well:p;)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Each to his own, Gordon. Hope you stayed to watch the sunset, best in the world and more colours than the traffic lights.

I've always loved ships... watching them, being on them, and I think Cmon's site is fascinating. Only wish I could watch them for real here but no chance - have to go to Heysham or Glasson for that, our nearest places.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Really? We were so busy watching the lights and Eric, we never noticed.

By the way, cmon, if you see the Russian North Atlantic Fleet heading into the Irish Sea you must warn us!

Seriously, the site is quite interesting, it's astonishing how much shipping around us.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Aye, the Isle of Arran Distillery. :)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

yep popping over in a couple of weeks .ive been trying to upload pictures has anybody else been having problems uploading pictures:confused:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Susie, I posted that especially for you, I was sure you'd bite,you were quicker than I expected. Morecambe folk hate that joke.

We left our caravan on a site at Hest Bank for several years,lovely area, the sunsets are spectacular and we often went into Morecambe, especially for the Sunday Market(believe it's not so good now?) so I joke tongue in cheek. They made a good job of the Promenade but I don't think anything will get the town going again.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Thank you, Gordon, it's only the second time it's been aimed at me on Accyweb. We're only here because my partner works at the power station but I do like it. Don't frequent the market much unless I need something like a new broom, which I do at the moment as my last one fell apart and I need some new transport ;)

Regeneration will be a long time coming, if ever - one Midland Hotel doth not a new town make (hark at me!) but even my lovely Polish neighbours like living here!

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

It won't be the last!

In fact I don't think there are any more jokes about Morecambe but you can understand why once you've been there.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Morecambe...ha ha...never beaten us in the football league! ;)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Perhaps I shall have to try shouting for Stanley instead of Morecambe when they come here - might change everything! :eek:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Morecambe? You've been shouting for Morecambe? Shocked and stunned, Susie...and you an Accy lass, too! :eek:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

No,no, susie, shout for Morecambe, if you inspire them to win the joke will be on Wynonie!

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Can't say I have a particular interest in ships.

Unless I'm on one. Going somewhere nice.

Though I'd just genuinely like to say I'm glad cmonstanley has.

It makes such a nice change, from the constant political cut and paste posts.

I've found it very refreshing, and in this case, I've actually read the links, and found them interesting.

I'd no doubt there was more than one string to your bow.

Though it's nice to see proof. Once again.

Thank you.

:)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

I never thought I would hear such words from an ex-AGS lad. Surrounded by traitors! :eek:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

'Infamy, infamy, they've all got it infamy'.

Come on, Wynonie, think what good it would do for Morecambe folk if they beat a club like Accrington Stanley! No more jokes. Well, not about Morecambe.

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

Just being serious for a moment, I'd agree with that. Sorry for the little thread wander, C'mon. ;)

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

but is anybody else having problems up loading pictures:confused:

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

No.

If they're ones of Scottie dogs in tartan bonnets, I think there's a block on them, on here.

:D

Re: anybody interested in ships
 

People have made comments about my photo on my profile! Well I think your avatar is disgusting and should not be seen by people under 18! Who are you to comment about my picture and then post that ugly rubbish!
