Metallurgists blame Titanic disaster on rivets
Home
Slashdot has it here, I'll quote just a little to pad out my content:

Read more. I haven't checked out slashdot.org for a while, I don't think they have Titanic related stories very often...

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
