Hoegh Osaka aground on Bramble Bank

I can't believe that last quote is from the Coastguard! Alpha anchorage is nowhere near Spitbank and not inside Portsmouth Harbour, FFS!!! In the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth maybe.

Bloody clever of APB to chuck it over into QHM's jurisdiction though!

Inside the area controlled by Portsmouth QHM though.
 
Sounds more like a knee jerk reaction, to an unexpected event ,the thing started to float off out of control, **** get a line on it pronto, we'll do a rewrite afterwards and say it was all in the method statement and risk assessment tomorrow:rolleyes:

+1 Reckon it came off with about as much control as it went on eh !!!
 
easier to deal with than Syphilis;)

There's a brilliant Spike Milligan recollection in one of his war books about a soldier, sidling up to the pharmacist counter in a packed shop and addressing the pharmacist in a whisper; the pharmacist replying in ringing tones "You want BLUE UNCTION?" and the soldier, aware that blue unction had only one use: 'crabs, for the treatment of' shouting back in a voice that could be heard the other end of the High Street, "YES, I'VE GOT BLOODY CRABS"
