The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

[Mojo]

'A couple of years later' is Brit slang for not sure of date of death.

No, it isn't.

 

[Vixen]

Which spacecraft did he deal in exactly?
They are pretty big things.

How big do you imagine IT technology to be?

Utter bollocks.

 

[Mojo]

Was that your source for the claim that he dealt in spacecraft?

I confirm I have been in possession of the J.K. Tamminen book for a few years. What is difficult to grasp?

Was it your source for the claim that he dealt in spacecraft?

How big do you imagine IT technology to be?

How big do you think software is?

 

[Vixen]

Then allow me to spell it out, in words of as few syllables as practicable.

It is difficult to grasp, because it is utter nonsense written by someone who knows nothing about commercial diving or marine operations.

The ignorance persists despite several posters taking the time to explain various aspects of these disciplines (the distinguishing features of a dive ship, the numbers of persons involved, permits and consents, etc etc). Secret dive indeed .

So, Question 1: How did you find out about the Bemis, Evertsson and Kurm dives?
Question 2: How do you know these were the ONLY dives not authorised by Sweden or appropriate Treaty authority?

How big do you think software is?

How big does an attaché case have to be?

 

[zooterkin]

How big does an attaché case have to be?

Exactly what software is this supposed to be? Do you have any evidence of its existence?

'A couple of years later' is Brit slang for not sure of date of death.

Why would you say this, knowing full well that there are a number of Brits here that can/will easily refute this? Is it just attention-seeking?

Are you claiming to be a Brit now? I thought you were a Finn.

I am unable to tell you of the first moment I learned of this claim but I can assure you, it is common knowledge that this is a belief of some, which can be found in any reference book re MV Estonia, as facts have a habit of existing in their own right and cannot be owned by any one individual.

Citation, please.

 

[Vixen]

Citation, please.

Er, I just told you Tamminen. Likewise Drew Wilson, plus, the German newspaper, the Estonian newspaper.

 

[Vixen]

Exactly what software is this supposed to be? Do you have any evidence of its existence?

How would I know? I am citing notable persons in current affairs of what they have said re Vononin.

 

[Vixen]

So if I cite Neville Chamberlain with his 'Peace in our time' speech, I am supposed to produce evidence of the 'peace' he is referring to?

What?

A couple means two.

 

[Andy_Ross]

You said spaceships, not IT technology

You could post the content of the speech, not just say look for it.

As far as I can tell, you haven't cited anyone regarding the claim that the case contained software, merely asserted it yourself:

Software technology , silly. As can be carried in an attaché case.

Who are these notable people?

I never make anything up. All of my comments are sourced, unless I state 'IMV'.

What?

A couple means two.

As I'm sure you well know, it is often used much more loosely in casual conversation, but eight years is pushing it.
