Morpheus Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thought this was hilarious. Irish Humor You gotta love the Irish! This is the transcription of the ACTUAL radio conversation between the British and the Irish off the coast of Kerry, October 1998. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-98. 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 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 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. IRISH: We are a lighthouse................Your Call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 1, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2013 Should be in the joke thread only if it were funny/true. Well, the fact it isn't true is why I said it should be a joke. Have you been in that thread lately. "Funny" no longer appears to be a prerequisite for anything in that thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2013 "The Obstinate Lighthouse" also has its own snopes.com page. They trace it back to the 1930s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 If you go to a Wetherspoons when it opens at 8:00am on a Sunday can you buy booze right away? Yeah I've done it before. Can't speak for every Wetherspoons though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I watched a TV today, first time on over a year. I remember now why I stopped, it was the same shite that used te be on - people buying shite antiques or viewing houses in Devon. But I turned it onto sky sports news and was surprisingly entertained for 5 mins as some journalist from the times who was invited on to talk lovingly about Abramovich's 10 years basically just trashed the Premier league, it's comercialisation and the and Roman's dirty money. Red faces all round for Sky, bet he won't get asked on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What's the name of that all girl rock band? They're pretty recently famous. Their name is one syllable. Had a hit with a song with a pretty generic name. Name is something like Pave, or Hone or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
