Just seen an article on the BBC site about Saddam's private yacht, al-Mansur (The Victor):


.... it contained just five expansive state cabins for Saddam and his family's personal use, and a secret escape route that descended down from the tyrant's own room into an underwater submarine launch pod.


???? The more I read about the bloke the more I'm surprised he didn't have a fluffy white cat.....

Tito had a rather nice office in his private train:


and Hitler was something of a Petrolhead:
"What fun we had teasing the big American cars. We kept right behind them until they tried to lose us. Those Americans are junk compared with the Mercedes. Their motor couldn't take it; after a while it would overheat, and they'd have to pull over to the side ff the road, looking glum. Served them right."
