CONCORDIA, a Disaster of our Times

[Libertas]

Come on. He was unlucky.

He tripped and fell into a lifeboat and he then fell into a taxi leaving the port.

How much misfortune can one man take?

They are saying in the news that some Moldavian tart was on the bridge with him and he let her drive the boat....i dont know how much truth is in it.

The moldovan singer had been defined by some passengers "the captain's shadow". A couple from Savona saw the commander eating and drinking abundantly 40 minutes before the facts.....

Mi piacerebbe vedere il curriculum vitæ del capitano...sai, vista la zona di provenienza c'è un'alta probabilità che i suoi "titoli" siano più fasulli dell'eterosessualità di Tiziano Ferro

Translation for the english speakers: Tribuno suspects this commander to have falsified his titles. My guess is that he is a well recommended wheeler dealer who worked his way thrugh a corrupt system. Not a very different opinion from Tribuno's ... The Navy of today has no more the sense of duty of the old Navy, alas.

Well, some eleven people died, so it takes a little bit of empathy for this, isn't it? Concerning the cruise ship holiday model, one could make dozens of reservations, no doubt, but this has nothing to do with resect for the dead.

Life aboard a cruise ship has its pleasant sides, I recently took one on a more downsized liner, it was pleasant even if the treatment during our excursions had a lot to do with luxury cattle treatment. For more intelligent trips there are cruises on sailboats as well as diving cruises.

Judging by the tone of his voice during that famous phone call, he had just been on a trip of a different kind ... to me he sounded a bit stoned. The aftermath of cocaine or pot or at least too much alchool.

He sounded as totally detached from reality, like a four year kid caught stealing jam from the jar and saying no no .. with the jar in his hands.

infact the judicial authorities have requested the toxicological test because they think that the captain was drunk or drug addicted.

Yes i have to agree,its a recuring nightmare of mine that i have to go on a three week cruise.
Instead of sitting there on a deck chair with a cup of tea and a book enjoying the sun you'd get some fucking slob from the entertainments gang trying to jostle you to join in some sort of mundane game or god forbid some skit that you had to put on before all the other passengers in the mini theatre.
Then not to mention the never ending round of filling your face and dressing up to the nines and trying to pretend you are on some sort of victorian luxury liner like the Lusitania.....yet the reality is you are on some crumby ship with a load of fucking losers and morons who have about as much taste as Imelda Marcos.
Fuck that...the thought of it makes me shudder....and hopefully the wife wont mention it any more after seeing this disaster.......as she is shit scared of water.....yuk yuk yuk...

yuk yuk indeed, and 'that' rings a bell.

...members of the 'jet set' and 'high-flyers' (Barclay's Swindon Branch) occupying the high seas, leaving their 'Cultural Stamp' fit for future chronologists. On a boat like that is compulsory to have the latest ringtones, and, the 'The Summer Holidays' phenomenon in Britain is marked by 4 weeks of every year with places like Harlow and Warrington become empty, TopShop losing market share and Marks and Spencer unable to sell Cashmere sweaters.

O'h for a decent smoke, Cognac, peace and quiet and a good read.

Title comparable to that of Colonnello Fiaschetta in such films as La soldatessa alla visita militare.
