Chinese icebreaker trapped in Antarctica after rescuing passengers from Russian vessel
The Chinese icebreaker that helped rescue 52 passengers from a Russian ship stranded in Antarctic ice found itself stuck in heavy ice, further complicating the 9-day “roller-coaster” rescue operation. “Snow Dragon” (Xue Long) had ferried the passengers from the stranded Russian ship to an Australian icebreaker late on Thursday.

Wouldn't it have been a good idea to ask someone who knew what they were doing? How about the British Antarctic Survey? Just look at that. Dickbrain Russians who ought to know better. And the dickbrain Chinese are so dumb.

Jan 03rd, 2014 - 03:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those 'dickbrain[ed]' Chinese managed to rescue 52 people, many of whom are my fellow citizens, possibly including an acquaintance of mine. I, for one, am grateful especially considering the rather frosty relationship recently prevailing over China and Australia.
Here's the onboard coverage of the stuck 'scientists', I didn't realise that Germans were onboard :-)

@3 Do you have to work being such a douche or does it come naturally?
Jan 04th, 2014 - 01:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe they should fly you down there with armchair and keyboard to show them how it's done.
@4 Do I care about your “friends”? Not really. Setting out to “prove” a contention that costs me money. And has already shown to be unsupportable by people with brains? Did they “have” to go? NO. So stuff 'em. I don't have a lot of time for individuals with big mouths and no significant contributions.
Jan 04th, 2014 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 I don't know. Do you have to work at being a fart-arse? Those smelly ones come from passing alongside your slow-moving turds. Of course, all Klingons should be exterminated. Indistinguishable from chinese commies, german nazis and russian commies. But I don't mind going down there. Don't need an armchair or a keyboard. What I would like is an assault rifle, a machine gun, an anti-tank capability, anti-aircraft guns and missiles, cruise missile launchers. anti-ship missiles and the ability to turn argieland into a place of death! According to statistics, the population of argieland is around 41 million. How many war criminals? How many deserve to die? Destroy the criminals. Population down to around 10 million. I know of 3 or 4 Argentines worthy of life. The rest are manure.
@7 So why bother posting here if you have no connection to Argentina?
Jan 04th, 2014 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess being a right royal twat you need somewhere to bitch and moan.
At least Argentina is not full of Paki's, Africans and every other sub species that has made it's way to the UK.

And you are berating Conqueror, you racist argie bastard!
You don’t have any of your own Indians either after the “Glorious Conquest Of The Dessert” by colonialist cowards with guns against people with few firearms and bows and arrows.
Yes, brave people the argies, NOT.
@5 Mr Ed,
Jan 04th, 2014 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Had to laugh at your post of Hitler.
Well done & very funny, especially the line “don't worry, he'll make a very good clown”!
Ha ha!
