    At it deepest it's only 300m.

    I always thought it would be at least a few miles deep. I find it's shallowness hard to accept.

    Ireland and the UK would have been one landmass at some stage, I don't find it that unbelievable.

    Accept it man......we're shallow as a nation.

    Deep enough to separate them from us, but still let us go and take their jobs while disliking them. So, the perfect depth really.

    At the Kisk bank, its only 10m deep. Mad, seeing as you are so far out at sea.

    I'm picturing a vending machine. Tho I'm kinda disturbed that I have to put a Queen's head into the Queen to receive said turd

    F*ck it, I'm completely disturbed for thinking that way in the first place :confused:

    The empire state building is 381m high. The twin towers were 415m high. They would have been sticking out of the Irish sea.

    But you just wouldn't get the same visual impact crashing a boat into them.

    I don't know I thing that would be fairly spectacular.

    Whats the point of this thread? Why does it matter if its "only" 300m deep? Do you even realize how deep that is? I reckon op has no sense of distance/depth. It can be 100ft deep for all I care, we're not in competition with anyone over it.

    Ah i cannot wait until they find oil under it. :p
