Cruachan Posted September 17, 2007 #279 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Cruachan, ensure the Officers Latrine is safe. Bloody hell HS-L - you're a hard man to work for. One minute I'm a major, the next I'm in charge of the Ruperts' latrines. Demotion or what.

travel-to-go Posted September 18, 2007 #283 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Karen, I suggest that the technical term should be "Intra-thread topic regression" Jimmy No, no, no! too much like having to THINK!

dak Posted September 19, 2007 #284 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I suggest that the technical term should be "Intra-thread topic regression" That would be ITTR, however apparently ITTR means Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint, manufactured by Simula inc., so it looks like another term will need to be invented. Anyway does anyone know what exactly is an Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint? Sounds like a rubber ring for swimming, which brings us back to thread convergence! Alternatively I really don't want to think of the pictures it conjures up. Given Malcolom's insistance that there is a sex club down C stairway on Seven Deck, it could be something that he has used there (that's more thread convergence). :eek: David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted September 19, 2007 #285 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Anyway does anyone know what exactly is an Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint? It seems to be a kind of fancy air-bag thingy for passengers in the rear seats of cars. Pity that, It sounded like a techie modern kind of strait jacket, in which case it could have had a broad range of applications on this board. Take your point about the acronym though, might have to rethink that one. Given Malcolom's insistance that there is a sex club down C stairway on Seven Deck You may find this really hard to believe but I actually went to look for that - but only, I hasten to add, in pursuit of my interest in maritime history. ;) Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted September 19, 2007 #287 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yes, I can understand that. Did you enjoy it? Enjoy it!!!! I couldn't even find it. All I saw down there was a room full of instruments of torture. It had "Gymnasium" written on the door but they couldn't fool me - I fled.

pnhmrk Posted September 19, 2007 #289 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Anyway does anyone know what exactly is an Inflatable Tubular Torso Restraint? A search on Google suggests http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6336656.html who say "A seat restraint system whose torso belt includes an inflatable structure that inflates upon impact to protect the occupants of a vehicle such as an automobile". If you are really interested they write quite a lot more about it on the site:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
