Marseilles in '85
I can't comment on it now, but my ship (USS Aylwin, FF-1081) had a collision at sea with the USS Seattle (AOE-3, I think) when we were doing underway replenishment in the Med. No one killed, and only 3 minor injuries on our ship, but the helecopter deck, two of our topside passageways and a couple of davits were prettly well crushed (and our captains gig ((small boat)).
We eneded up going to Marseilles for repairs about 3 weeks later, and ended up spending 33 days in port (REALLY unusuall for deployed ships to spend that much time, at one time in port). We were given very specific instructions to stay out of certain parts of the city, not to accept "gifts" that hadn't come through the USO, and under NO circumstances to get involved with any of the drug-culture. While we were there, we had several instances of sailors getting mugged, bar fights and things like that. However, the people that followed the suggestions had a GREAT time in the city. We were there for "Bastille Day", and i met up with a really nice group of people that basically took several of us (sailors) under their wing and showed us the city, got us to try LOTS of different foods (I love Escargot, and HATE calamari!!), and showed us several good bars, disco's and restaurants. Guess the difference is if your wandering around not knowing anything, or if you have friends/guides. I would go back in a heartbeat! Ed |

KFC!? wtf? U must be hungry or something. To my knowledge, she's never posted on a website/forum..except her hand written message she left for nidalizee. And if she has, people would have either ripped that person for pretending to be her..or ignored it all together. On her original website, which is no longer active...she may have left messages for her fans...someone could probably confirm this...i.e. snatcher or rmj.
