Any one have any background on this?

[swifty]

Second thing I did not know there is a one in a million chance a wave will hit a ship at sea.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

A wave hit it!
Isn't that unusable? :rotfl: :rotfl:

I just like to add by saying, "The front fell off." :lol:

On 21 July 1991, the Greek tanker Kirki lost its bow off the coast of Western Australia (WA). During the incident and the subsequent tow of the tranker to a safe haven some 17,280 tonnes of light crude was lost. Serious pollution of the West Australian coast was avoided due to the dual combination of severe weather conditions and the effects of the Leeuwin Current in dispersing the 7,900 tonnes of oil lost during the initial stages of the spill off Cervantes and Jurien Bay.
The response to the Kirki spill involved in excess of 100 experts in salvage, pollution clean-up and Emergency Response Division . In addition, to supplement existing stockpiles, significant quantities of both National Plan and oil industry equipment from Brisbane, Geelong and Port Adelaide were moved by air and road to Perth, Fremantle, Jurien Bay and Dampier (for the cargo transfer process) at very short notice.

LOL I'd forgotten about that comedian taking the mickey out that incident, I can't remember the name of the comodey show but it was done a few years ago.

It's good to see people still get a laugh out of his antics.:rotfl:

I cant help but think of Frank Spencer when I see the title of this thread.

"The end's come off!"

[TarJak]

The two comdeians in question are on Australia's ABC TV every Thursday night at the end of the 7:30 Report, a news and current affairs show screen nightly. They normally take the mickey out of any current political or corporate story with these mock interviews.

I never miss it and if I do I catch it here: http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/clarkedawe.htm (http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/7.30_clarkedawe.htm)

Very similar styles.

I wonder how many Aussies thought they were being serious :rotfl:

Very few! They have a long history of doing humor with a touch of reality

They did one in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The scary thing is that they were running very close to the truth!:huh:

Great for a laugh. IT has been shown overseas on cable.

[Biggles]

"Well, a wave hit the ship!"
"well, is that unusual?"
"Oh yeah! At sea? Chance of a million"

bloody hilarious:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[swifty]

I wish we had something like that in the states. But maybe we don't because all our politicians talk so slow. Love the fast and quick back and forth. I found some more on you tube and the best part you don't have to be an Ausi to laugh:up:

This seems so much like a Monty Python Scetch. :rotfl:

At first, I almost thought I was listening to Basil Fawlty.
