I tell you what, I'm glad I'm not the owner of the dog that killed that seal pup.

 

If I were to write a manual on how to look bad, there would be a section on how being responsible for the death of a beloved wildlife celebrity leads to one of the worst possible public shamings

He's having a bad week: https://www.theweek.co.uk/news/world-news/952339/man-breaks-into-johnny-depps-home-and-takes-a-shower

 

"A man has been arrested after he broke into Johnny Depp’s home and took a shower. Police were called to the actor’s house in the Hollywood Hills to arrest the man who had been spotted nearby in other people's gardens. They found he had also made himself a drink from Depp’s in-house bar and damaged a door in the house".

That stingray that killed Steve Irwin never recovered its reputation despite an extensive PR push from Max Clifford.

About time. Would have preferred Rosalind Franklin, but it's good to see society progress at least a little.

It's a tragedy, it was on the cusp of some great things.

I'm going to be really disappointed if it turns out he didn't splash on a bit of Sauvage after his shower.

I used to get them about once a month in retail.

 

At least half of them were fakes.

That's one hell of a backlog...

This is the ship's GPS. If I too was going to cause a big scene with my ship, this is how it would go.

 

A cock up in more ways than one.

The African and Arabian tectonic plates are drifting apart, so the ship will naturally be freed in the fullness of (geological) time!

I can't wait that long, my sex doll is in one of those bloody containers.

If they need to remove cargo to lighten the ship and refloat her you could be looking at weeks and weeks given her location and the difficulties involved

Maybe the sex dolls could be used to help re-float the ship.

My bloody garden furniture is probably stuck in amongst all that.  Re-float it now!
