Commander Richard Farrington, who has been in charge of the ship for at least 18 months, said he felt the boat judder.

"It hazarded the lives of 250 men and women. We have done significant damage to a major British warship. This is not a good day for me," he said.

O rly?

EDIT: apparently his grasp of English is better than mine

It's valid English, you smelly convict

No comment on his mad boat skills though. He'd best get down the job centre.

Heh, I love the picture....there's a closeup of a guy (the commander?) with a sh1t-eatin grin on his face, and the caption "Water reached seven feet in some rooms"

Perhaps he set a world record?

He is FAR too cheery for a bloke who just did millions of pounds worth of damage, i mean, 'character-building stuff' really is putting an inanely good slant on the situation

tr.v. haz·ard·ed, haz·ard·ing, haz·ards
1. To expose to danger or harm. See Synonyms at endanger.
2. To venture (something); dare: hazard a guess.

2002 as well, how did you find that?

Jesus dug is that a signature or a wall scroll. If you are going to make it that big you might as well throw a Nike ad in there and make some profit.

LOL, it's about 20 lines long...

 

[dug777]

It was much longer, but someone asked me very nicely if i'd shorten it, so did

I was about to correct your spelling, but I couldn't find the problem.

LOL, dug, you're the last person who should comment on anyone's English.

the caption under the photo is some vindication for dug: "The 300 people living on island are fascinated"

At least this gives the USN a break from the news, our sub commanders seem to keep running into sh!t.

It wasn't a "shipwreck", it was a "spontaneous hyper-realistic hull breach repair exercise".
