Eat your heart out Thai Navy...

We were going to do a blog on Thailand's athletes at the Winter Olympics but there are none.  Or at least not yet.  Thailand does have one athlete registered but he has not arrived and it is uncertain if he will.  The last games Thailand had one athlete as well who only competed in the men's 10K cross country and actually had a respectable time.  I was looking at youtube.  Remember that site the government likes to block, and had an alternate idea.

We all know what happened to our aircraft carrier it's been inactive for ever due to a shortage of funds and tied up to the dock for long periods of time.  Word has it in the local mess she just plain feels lonely, ugly and neglected.



We know how much the Thai Navy wants to have a submarine.   What for is anyone's guess maybe warding of rogue PAD, Greenpeace or Red shirts attacking by sea. Or maybe to sneak up on those dastardly Cambodians while they look for Thailand's oil.  They had better hope they don't bump into one of the new Kilo class Vietnamese subs or they will become a oil spill in the making.  But having said all that some countries just have more capital with less corruption, way fewer generals & admirals and no military golf courses. 

These poor guys in Ramouski don't even speak English, they speak French Canada's other official language.  We won't even get into the fact that more people speak Chinese on the West Coast than French but what the heck, when in Quebec you speak French and the are proud of their heritage and rightly so.

Seems these Ramouski-ites got hold of a Sub from the Government and the manual being in English they were a bit confused.  They seem to have the gangway correct but they forgot to put it in the water.  Seems they are willing to sell it for some bannock bread and a big Canoe.  Maybe they would trade for some rice.
