As I understand it, he (Mark "Jacko" Jackson) was big in Australia. I remember they tried to make him a star here in America back in the '80s, but he never really caught on this side of the Pacific.
Somehow his his “Oi” wasn’t good enough for the hoi polloi.

For you ship history buffs.
Novgorod (Russian: Новгород) was a monitorbuilt for the Imperial Russian Navy in the 1870s. She was one of the most unusual warshipsever constructed, and still survives in popular naval myth as one of the worst warships ever built. A more balanced assessment shows that she was relatively effective in her designed role as a coast-defence ship as well as rivers.The hull was circular to reduce draught.
But in other respects, they were a dismal failure. They were too slow to stem the current in the Dniepr, and proved very difficult to steer. In practice the discharge of even one gun caused them to turn out of control and even contra-rotating some of six propellers was unable to keep the ship on the correct heading. Nor could they cope with the rough weather which is frequently encountered in the Black Sea. They were prone to rapid rolling and pitching in anything more than a flat calm, and could not aim or load their guns under such circumstances.

Is this to reduce or increase coughing?
We have the pampered chef version. I think my wife uses it to just make a lot of noise.
Whenever I see these Flagg Bros.-style pics, it's funny to see how proud these guys are to be wearing these clothes. They just know they look good!
Interesting. There are actually round ships in the world today. We just did a job near a round drill ship.

So, what you are saying is they were walking around proud as a peacock.
Absolutely they’re still out there. But the Sevan is built a bit differently and has was not designed as a war craft. The most the Russian ship could make was 6.5 knots.
