- mattyd0
whats 2 heads plus 2 heads?

- k0na_an0k0
bwahahahahaha!

im not even kidding, i think if she didnt have a cromagnum head she would have at least shaved a day or two off her time from wind resistance alone.

haha. i think its pretty impressive. she's only 28 for heavens sake. shit, i'm 29 and i still have yet to drive around the world. i keep getting to the fuckin atlantic and driving my car in the ocean only getting about like 20 yards.
i went through 5 cars last year in my quest. part of me wants to keep trying but part of me just thinks it can't be done.

hahaha...that reminds me of a ricky henderson quote:
"how long would it take me to drive to the dominican republic?"

big FUCKING wows!
daddy paid for it all so she can fuck off as far as I'm concerned. (presumably) Plus, my ass could sail one of those boats with all the technology they've got. (apparently)
- vespa0
daddy paid for it all? where did you hear that? surely the sponsors paid for the boat. i'm beginning to think some of you boys dont like it when chix do well... "look at her forehead!" "Daddy paid for it"...honestly.
- tny0
presumably with both arms tied behind your back :/

it's a pretty amazing thing she's done.
As for daddy paying for it all, I'm not sure if that's the case. I remember her almost losing her house at one point. Or did I make that up?
In any case even if he did it's still impressive!

fuck that. it's a well good achievement. The girl grew up in Derby - how many miles from the sea is that? Many!
She had to save up all her pocket money to by sails and shit. Fucking hard graft. And how old is she? mid-20s or something.
I've been sailing a few times, not on my own, but with my mate who actually knows how to sail. Doing this kinda shit solo, even on a modern boat with technology and whatever, is an immense feat.

I couldn't give a fuck really. So what? She's obviously got too much time on her hands.
And now she's to be made a dame?! What the fuck for? Pissing off in a boat for a few weeks? Just how does this make the UK a better place for her to merit becoming a dame?
The news showed about 30 mins of her approach in pitch darkness last night. With all the other thing's going on in the world did we really need that?

Todays headline:
Slightly soggy lesbian floats into a harbour.
Big fucking deal.
- vespa0
christ 5timuli do many people think like that? no wonder it's so hard for brits to do well at sport.
- 5timuli0
Hmm, yet another person sails round the worl, only this time fractionally faster than the last.
Wow, what an achievement, total waste of time and money.

5timuli. I'd give you a day out at sea on your own and you'd be crying for your mummy.
a slightly soggy lesbian? Maybe, but she's got more balls than you.
- vespa0
omg 5timuli. so by that reasoning nothing is worthwhile unless no other human has ever done it before? do you get depressed often?
- 5timuli0
I wonder how many times the British press have used the word 'hero' today.
Total joke.
