A great day in Japanese Naval History (spoiler warning - it didn't end well if you weren't aware...)

Pink Floyd released Meddle in 1971 - that's forty years ago pop pickers.

And "The Wall" was on sale 32 years ago too. Can you imagine what an influence this stuff was on my life back then before all this intraweb stuff caught on and virtual pretty women weren't really special needs old men guffawing in front of their computers?
