"What happens at the end of the film?
The credits roll. "LOL When I saw Jason Manford the other month he said he'd been to the Titanic museum in Belfast, where they are to put it mildly, very proud of the ship. He pointed out to one of the museum guides that it actually sank, to which the guide replied in a very scary Belfast accent, 'It was ALRIGHT when it left here!'

"OK..... 5 points for naming what runs from Fwd to Aft on the Port side of the Titanic and from Aft to Fwd on the Starboard side?
A Jabberwocky? "Nope... | |||
"How many survivors where there?? " About 650. I read somewhere just over 2100 sailed and just over 1500 died. To me the film that starrs Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio is boring and drags. Yet the soundtrack gets to me every time. Oh ald there was one "funny" line in it. There was a shorter film of it on tv ages ago and that was a better version. Wouldn't mind watching that again. | |||

"I bought Titanic coal lol Had a certificate n everyfink Tru dat" Did you have to put it on the fire to dry out? | |||
"So what does RMS stand for?
Royal Mail Steamer..... "Royal Mail Ship? An the last tube was supposed to have been 'Autumn'. Until recently there was a commemorative plaque near the bandstand in Eastbourne for one of the band members of te titanic as he played at the grand hotel just up the road. The rivits ordered were described as 'best' but the best rivets are actually 'best best' accusing to a book I read so the rivets were weak. | |||

"I bought Titanic coal lol Had a certificate n everyfink Tru dat" I know! I'm totally gullible Story is that the team that found Titanic were only allowed to sell the coal from the boiler room as all other artefacts are 'grave' items... Bet u can eBay it??? Could have come from B n Q for all I know lol I chose to believe it.., Anyone got ant oxygen for sale????? | |||

"As bad as it sounds. And I bet everyone would agree.. Wouldnt you just love to have seen the out takes for the film lol! " If you have a look on YouTube, you'll find the outtakes. There's also about an hour of deleted scenes, some of which explain scenes left in the film (like how jack and rose met up the day after he saved her) and others which were based on true historical stuff (like Cosmo duff Gordon telling his lifeboat not to go back to save other people). I actually quite like the deleted scenes, wish they'd kept them in. There's also the original ending, which I think is better than the one they used, where bill Paxton holds the necklace before old rosé chucks it into the ocean

If the "Californian" under Captain Lord had come to the rescue instead of just sitting in the ice field and ignoring radio massages and distress flares, most (if not all) of the Titanic's passengers could have been saved As a footnote. The Carpathia managed to break its own speed record (from its sea trials) to be the first ship on the scene after the sinking. | |||
