#1 And we would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling aussie infidels.

#2 I did not notice and posted a dupe. Mods, please bit-bucket it.

The most interesting aspect of it all is that IRG tried 5 times to capture Ozzies. After the last attempt, seems that they decided Brits may be an easier target. Unfortunately, they were right.

As for the colorful language, a rumor has it that it went like this: "Get the fuck back! Get the fuck back NOW! Or we'll blow your monkey arses away!"

#3 A little harder than snatching a boat full of Poms, eh?

#5 I sure hope the standing order for the US Navy is to light up any IRG in sight then weight down any floaters.

#6 "What are we supposed to use man? Harsh Language?" - Frost from Aliens

I guess harsh language DOES work against muzzies. Maybe not aliens, but Muzzies definitely.

#8 How embarrassing.

But them the BBC were'nt distacting that ships captain and using his helicopter like the UK ones were. I wonder did the BBC forward their movements to the Iranians?

#9 Oh God, we'll never live it down. Or rather, the Ozzies won't let us live it down...

Sorry, but Americans don't know what it's like - those bloody Ozzies are always taking the piss - cricket, rugby... :(

Totally top people though ;)
