With regards to a colleague who works in software:
Geoff: “So, he knows something about the hardware too, it seems.”
Me: “Yes, I’d say he’s got a good grounding in it.”

Gosh, these are just getting worse and worse…

Lost in the Irish Sea

I heard a story today, relayed by Wogan of Radio 2, that whilst filming the 1956 version of Moby Dick, for the final scene Gregory peck was lashed to a life-size rubber model of a whale. Which was put to sea. And got lost, in fog. He floated there, lost for an hour in the Irish Sea before the film crew were able to find him, fortunately unharmed. I think this is both bizarre and wonderful.
From some random websearch:

“I nearly got killed in the Irish Sea, riding that rubber whale,” [Peck] said. “I was lost at sea. We were probably eight miles out from the coast of Wales, and the water was freezing.”

Imagine how his obituary could’ve turned out..
