Gourdon Fishermen Safe

[Tommy]

That's good news, i'm sure familiy and friends had assumed the worst.

[Dynamo]

Incredible.

[Tyrant]

I have to say I had them down as brown bread like.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Good news.

[lukas989]

Apparently the grandpas missus shouted at the sea, 'Gie em bock ye cunt ye!'

 

Well played grandma.

[The Boofon]

What exactly happened here?

 

I've seen they're back but never knew they were missing. No oars or phone with them when they got into difficulty I take it?

 

Engine packed in and they drifted off?

 

Seems pretty fucking weird.

[The Boofon]

A dodgy compass apparently.

 

The old boy was on good form at the press conference.

A dodgy compass? FFS. Was it pointing East instead of North?

 

 

Aye the old fella was a belter.

 

Nae sure if his wife will let him back out.

Here my compass got fucked a few months ago on Cairngorm and I nearly walked straight off Fiacaill Buttress following it, just recognised the line of the cornice through the bad weather. So its no laughing matter, when it goes, yer fucked

Can you nae just look at your watch and see where the sun is?

 

How can a compass fail anyway other than the needle falling off?

[Poodler]

When it bubbles it goes Clangers brain heamorrhage style and can give an improper reading. Haha, I dinna wear a watch anymore after Millertime lambasted my timepiece in the 'Look at my antique watch' thread last year.

[tightbreeks]

great news, for once!

what about those yachtsmen lost in the mid-atlantic? my old boy was a sailor, and i get the feeling that if you're willling to sail 40 footer across the ocean your going to have some hairy moments.

 

my point is, like moutaineers in the himalaya, them's the risks.

 

i feel that the US coastguard were like, they're goners, but they didn't reckon for middle england hassling the shit out of the government and the USA. i get it that you want to grasp on to any hope, but they're just prolonging the agony.

 

here's what i think happened, one boy is like, to hell with this let's try and turn back or at least batten down the hatches. i reckon captain's been like no way jose, we can take it!

 

sad.

Must be a terrifying way to die min, 10+meter waves crashing about. Absolute NIT. And these Gourdon guys must have spoken to their maker at somepoint after 48 hours, many in the dark, in that tiny boat.

 

Do you believe in 'At least they died doing what they loved'?

[tightbreeks]

crossing the atlantic in a boat is a risky business, they were all meant to be good at what they do, it's hard to know what happened.

 

at one point, one of them must've thought, i like this sailing mullarkey, but im not cashing in my chips right now, let's go back.

Come ashore Poodler. It's light outside ano and the sun is up at half four.

 

6 hours in the dark.

[tup]

It's a wonder the fat cunt never showed up on radar.

[pwtredz]

fuxsake,jist spat my tea

[Guest]

We need places like Gourdon. Where else would we put them?

 

Inbred, thick as fuck, nae a there, harmless really but fucked if you want those halfwit minks living next to you.

 

Had they drowned, who - other than an inbred mutant or two - would have given a fuck?

[ChutneyLove]

That bird fae Charlie's Angels, Jaclyn Smith .... she's tidy for 68.

[exiled_don_in_edin]

First of all, guid that they are back alive and well.

 

What vexes me is they had no radio, no phones, no liferaft. Hope this serves as a reminder to fisherman that they need to invest in technology.

[ChutneyLove]

To commemorate this fabulous outcome, I think there should be a minutes applause at Pittodrie in the 2nd minute of the first European tie. A minute for every shite overboard fatso had to do in front of his Granda.

[Dandyesque]

Bet they were nowhere near the water

 

Whole thing was a wind up like that wee lad that was supposed to have fallen dow a mineshaft

[tightbreeks]

tangent time!

 

they're at it again. lad goes missing in Malaysia, his poor mum and dad are like - these picaninnies don't know what they're doing, our prime minister has to go and look for him, all on his own - or something like that.

 

he's opened a can of worms, now every cunt who gets out they're depth and fucks up abroad, send in the army, raf and sas and find my boy!
