Thanks mr B although it's not my joke but it's still a cracker!.

I dare say even in times of 'extreame adversity' you can usually find someone cracking a joke or two.

Tee hee!

To be honest the little bit more i hear of this venture the more 'freaky it sounds'.

Wot is the true aim of this thing???.

If this ship is going to reinact the maiden voyage of the TITANIC then it MUST sink off Newfoundland over the wreck of the TITANIC??.

I actually wonder if this guy is a bit 'sick in the head' to be honest i really do.

It is a big cruise ship designed to look like an infamous ship from a century ago. He's cashing in on its fame - nothing more, nothing less. A bit sick? Quite possibly. We'll see if he'll follow it with a voyage through the Aegean with a 'replica' of the Britannic.

i hope he does not want the first class lounge and staircase out of the white swan at alnwick
i should add for those that do not know that the lounge and stairs came out of the sister ship the olympic

Myself and i should think 60044 have sat in those very chairs.

The furnishings came to the hotel in 1935 after the only one of the three sisters to have a normal life span was scrapped. And i dont think a trip on a repo titanic will be for me.

I thought the only substantial bit of the Olympic was the state room which is meant to be in a museum in Liverpool somewhere. Makes sense that if they sold one room off, they sold a few more...

I have stayed there as well.
One tip do not stay overnight in the front of the hotel when the university has a party in the square.

The students tend to clear off about 03.30 and the council turn up at 05.30 with the lorry emptying the bottle bins.

I stayed in a Hotel in Prague that had decor based on the originals from Titanic.

Quick nameplate change then?

Approximately 5 years on is there anymore news about this project?.

Hit a Iceberg ??

According to certain press reports from 5 years ago the estimated cost of a exact scale replica ship could vary between £260 million & £400 million pounds.
