Hey, there must be some mistake. We're back on topic.:eek:

 

David

 

That seems to keep happening with this thread:eek: , unfortunately:D

 

Looks like some of us are aquiring a new skill. We have had thread drift (taking a thread off course), thread convergence (making 2 threads the same) - so whats this, thread ???(my brain is too tired to find the word, so I will leave it to the rest of you:))

Cruachan, ensure the Officers Latrine is safe.

 

Bloody hell HS-L - you're a hard man to work for. One minute I'm a major, the next I'm in charge of the Ruperts' latrines. Demotion or what.

Favourite quotes from officers' confidential reports - No 1

 

"On the day this officer joined the army, a village somewhere mourned the loss of its idiot"

Karen,

 

I suggest that the technical term should be "Intra-thread topic regression"

That would be ITTR, however apparently ITTR means Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint, manufactured by Simula inc., so it looks like another term will need to be invented.

 

Anyway does anyone know what exactly is an Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint?

 

Sounds like a rubber ring for swimming, which brings us back to thread convergence!

 

Alternatively I really don't want to think of the pictures it conjures up. Given Malcolom's insistance that there is a sex club down C stairway on Seven Deck, it could be something that he has used there (that's more thread convergence). :eek:

It seems to be a kind of fancy air-bag thingy for passengers in the rear seats of cars. Pity that, It sounded like a techie modern kind of strait jacket, in which case it could have had a broad range of applications on this board. Take your point about the acronym though, might have to rethink that one.

You may find this really hard to believe but I actually went to look for that - but only, I hasten to add, in pursuit of my interest in maritime history. ;)

Yes, I can understand that. Did you enjoy it?

I'm surprised it does not feature on Thomas' Tour.

A search on Google suggests http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6336656.html who say "A seat restraint system whose torso belt includes an inflatable structure that inflates upon impact to protect the occupants of a vehicle such as an automobile". If you are really interested they write quite a lot more about it on the site:)

I like my kinky (OK, risque, is that better?) image of what it might be better....:D

 

Somehow the idea of my seat belt exploding in my face does not make me feel secure!!!

Penny dearest - the idea of a seat belt exploding in your face makes me feel very secure

 

(Think of this as part of my revenge for your insistence that I'm stuffed)

 

You ARE stuffed, furball!! :p Any sane person can see that...and I am sane...see the song of the same name!!!!:rolleyes:
