Title: Doh!. Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 13:54:59 Quote A group of Somali pirates has been captured after attacking a French navy ship by mistake, apparently thinking it was a harmless cargo vessel. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8294858.stm Somebody really didn't think that one through properly did they? :doh: Title: Re: Doh!.

Well it's a bit far for starters. Title: Re: Doh!.

Funnily enough, in the taxi business 'pirating' means illegally plying for hire so they should be ok. You'd be surprised how many Somali taxi drivers there are in this country. Failing that, we might find ourselves paying a ransom for a boat load of haddock in Grimsby port. |
