This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a British Naval ship and the Irish, off the coast of Kerry, Oct 95.

IRISH: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision.

BRITISH: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to avoid a collision.

IRISH: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

BRITISH: This is the Captain of a British navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

IRISH: Negative. I say again, You will have to divert your course.

BRITISH: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HMS BRITIANNIA. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT IS 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

IRISH: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

N
nine9starOG 2001

mhm yes im afraid they do - whereas i however just find their accents darn sexi :D

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

It was funny because when my friends were over from England we were telling jokes and when the joke about the Polish, Italian and American came up they repsonded back that they heard that joke, but it goes the Irish, Italian and English...hahaha..I was like, thats great!!

N
nine9starOG 2001

we have a whole range of jokes - and they are known as the englishman, the irishman and the scotsman jokes - there are so many lol - everyone knows one!

I've heard a couple of brothers use that story in their talks. Didn't know it was something that actually happened.

magnum magnumOG 2001

it didnt happen, its just a fake joke! DUH!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

i know but still, it's amazing how quickly communication breaks down, like in the actual historical event that nine9star described in this story.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

matt, isn't it wierd how history repeats? It probably happened once, and then happened over and over and over in different parts of the world. Sure it may have been fake ONCE, but then it really happens!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

exactly my point. it's like when your mom says the ol' "well if your friends jumped off the brooklyn bridge would you do it too?!?!" of course never expecting you to actually do it. but then some maroon's gotta mess up the whole system and follow suit! and we're back where we started.

N
nine9starOG 2001

ha ha thats so funny, we say if you're friend jumped of a cliff would you follow him - or if he said put ur hand in the fire would you do it? lol :D

magnum magnumOG 2001

hrm i actually set my hand on fire... that wasnt fun

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

Did someone tell you to, or you just wanted to do it??

magnum magnumOG 2001

was a accident, paint on your hand and a lighter don't go well together
