Who said the Irish were stupid? Sometimes we Brits can be a bit thick too.
This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a British
Naval ship and the Irish, off the coast of Kerry, Oct 95.
Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval operations 10-10-95
IRISH: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a
collision".
BRITISH: "Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to
avoid a collision".
IRISH: "Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the
South to avoid a collision".
BRITISH: "This is the Captain of a British Royal Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course".
IRISH: "Negative. I say again, You will have to divert your
course".
BRITISH: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITIANNIA. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT IS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP".
Hard to believe that the Irish actually out-smarted a Ranking Captain on the HMS Britiannia thats fantastic cheers raymond _________________ I give you, the Waffle King
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman rob a bank. As the Police give chase the three run down a dead end alley.
At the end of the alley they find three empty sacks and each of them climb inside one.
When the police arrive in the alley one of them kicks the sack with the Englishman in.
"Miaow, Miaow!" Said the Englishman
"That's just a sack of kittens" says the copper. He kicks the sack with the Scotsman in.
"Woof, Woof!" Said the Scotsman
"That's just a sack of puppies" he says, then he kicks the sack with the Irishman in,
"Potatoes, Potatoes!" Said the Irishman.
