Yes Mr Pirate, I have they are called the Indo navy.. they are @#$$%%%

[safewalrus]

So at last then have managed to get to sea! Some of us had some problems with those people in the sixties, upity bunch ain't they!

Ask your ex-servicemen of the sixties next time you buy them a drink, they'll tell you about it!

[seadogs20]

Arent they what....very strern chappies.

[seadogs20]

FYI .....in se Asia 2003 445 attacks, 2004 325...hmmm

[safewalrus]

With a bit of luck 2005 will be down further - bit of help from God I believe!! 'The' tsunami had it's good points (that'll get em going!).

Also looks like shotguns etc are working - dead men tell no tales - remember "death is not habit forming"

[seadogs20]

Not convinced that its a good idea to carry arms on board

[safewalrus]

So don't carry them - it's your funeral!

If you don't know what your doing with 'em your right! If you do you've probably got them already! Remember it's NOT the gun that hurts but the person using it!

The answer to the armed physcopath is the armed citizen - who knows what he's doing! If he don't he's worse than a second nutter!

All I'm saying is that if your going to the badlands you need to be aware of what you can get to even the score, and how to use it! If you don't your a bigger idiot than I thought! If you think guns are naughty then stay the f*** away from gun carrying areas - if you don't, don't expect there to be a sherriff around the corner to pull you out of it!

[seadogs20]

Safewalrus have you been thru the "badlands" have you ever seen the vessels 5these ppl are on? I have, you cant out run them, and you standing there with your little shotty is not going to help you, it will get you and your crew killed. These guys are mainly after the cargo ships and there safes.People who have been killed off smaller yachts, probably came out on deck with the same attitude as you,with a pea shooter and expected to scare them off. Skippers i know who have been boarded just give them what they want and they will leave.

[safewalrus]

Seadog I used to work in the badlands!

As I said it's how you use the thing -obviously you've seen to much John Wayne for your own good! that will get you dead!

Give them what they want and they'll be back for more!

Wow walrus, that kind of talk (especially quoting Harry Truman) makes you an "Honorary Yank". Wear the title proudly while you whistle "Yankee Doodle" off key.

[safewalrus]

Whoops that puts me in spot - how can I take the wee wee out of a Yank now? You got me proper there Artemis!

[BillyDoc]

Hey Walrus!

Welcome home!

Bill

[safewalrus]

Well BillyDoc us Yankees must stand together eh! (sh** man your a Southerner something wrong with this I think?)

But 'ee know what I mean

Mike

[BillyDoc]

Actually Mike,

Under the local classification system there are three kinds of Yankees. Those who stay "up north" are "Yankees." Those who come on down and visit for a while are "Damn Yankees." But I'm in the third classification, a Yankee who hates cold weather who came down and visited, and stayed. I'm a "Damn M*****F***** S** @#%@!& B****** of a Yankee." I wish I could be more explicit there, but we must remember that Bergalia might see this and be shocked.
