Hi
Im new here so please be gentle.
I am from Southampton UK. I enjoy wearing swimbriefs & lycra.

Welcome to the club!

OK - you will therefore have two forums but you will see which is the busiest (and another one remains completely empty).
Soton is surely west of Pompey and you will already have a speedo connection
- I think it was diver Pete Watefield (ret'd.) who trained at the local club ? (and
Chris Mears - though I may be getting mixed up with Leeds there)

Im not competing. I just like yo wear them in pool/sunbathing & whenever I can get away with it.
I did swim the otger day in shorts & they were such a drag

I was in Portsmouth on Friday evening, so near and yet so far.
Welcome.

Did you have time to walk on the glass floor at the top of the Millennium Tower?
(not easy for the big ferries to turn in harbor there - saw one arriving from Cherbourg on a day of strong gales and she ended up having the RN pull her off a sandbank before disembarkation).

Welcome to the forum

Byron, one of the P&O Bilboa ferries accidently rammed a brand new frigate and wrote her off a few years ago.
After the same ferry running down a yatcht and not stopping P&O stopped using Portsmouth.
Didn't know about the glass floor but saw the tower from a distance.

Your reminders bring those stories to mind but cannot recollect the dates and all the details now - my reply is off-topic as I shall soon be in big trouble here on this speedo forum .
