  1. I enjoyed this a few years ago. The penalty for failing the course still seems like a raw deal.

  2. It’s 7am and I haven’t slept and now it appears I shall be up until at least 8! Have a great day folks

  3. Love that doc, it’s got that 80s nicotine finger yellow tinge to it.

  4. There is an up-to-date documentary that I think can be found on My5, channel 5’s on demand service.

  8. I hope that the ones that fail manage to… Perishcope..

    I’ll get me coat.

  9. For someone who can’t watch an hour long video right now, what is the test?

  10. Holy crap this looks mad. Thanks OP , bookmarked for later 🙂 

  11. Spent a week on a boat once. Best sleep I ever had!
