It gets better, another cargo ship (nicola) hit the sunken vessel Tricolor last night .

Can't find a decent picture off it, but it was quiet funny seeing the nicola on top of the Tricolor on TV.

Wreck? What wreck? Oh that wreck.

No to be honest it was some scousers trying to nick some hub cabs from the sucken cars.

Sounds like the I-94/I-75 interchange in Detroit; which is locally known as Malfunction Junction

Yup - the Channel is a friggin' nightmare to cross if you are trying to go N/S in a sailing boat - talk about dodging container ships!

Some of the busiest shipping lines in the world there, as people head off to EuroPoooooooort and beyond. (Sorry to the cloggies - never know the correct number of "o"s to put in there! )

[KvHagedorn]

The cloggies.. LOL

[Novdid]

Sadly the cars were really expensive ones, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo.

A second ship (The Vicky) hits the Tricolor

It is the second ship within a fortnight to hit the Tricolor, which originally sank with its cargo of 3,000 cars after being hit by cargo freighter Kariba on 14 December.

[The PIT]

These scousers will try anything to get at the cars.

[Byock]

I think I need to go for a boat ride.

[James_D]

Hehehe... well it's quiet incredible, here we have radiowarnings, and also buoys in the ocean, to warn the ships.. and still they hit the wreck...


My next crossing of the channel will def. be by train...

OK, Help us uneducated Chickens out. What is a cloggie?

[Gurm]

A cloggie is what happens when too many turdies are in the pottie.

Alright.. a Dutch trademark is those wooden shoes they wear to wade around in mud.. called clogs by some. I was just amused at the britslang there

Hey, at least you aren't Frogs or Bloody Huns..

Those Limeys think they own that channel, don't they?
