"He was very fussy, he wasn't picking the soft bruised ones to take home. It was the nice firm ones for his money.
I guess that's human nature."
..and human nature it is, Sy. When I read that it evoked memories of dances in the 50's & '60's...and me checking out the available talent. In hindsight I might sometimes have finished up better off if I had gone for the "soft bruised ones".
Back to the high seas.....immobilising their boats is nothing new..they always did that. In one case they smashed vital components with a hammer. It just that some of these guys over did it this time.I think I read that the guy who ignited the petrol died, didnt he? Future refugee boats will probably come with plugs in the hull they can yank out. And they WILL come, because sadly Australia is seen as a soft touch.
