It's the classic 'objective', matter of fact way the story is delivered in print. Hilarious.

Also, "...hotdogs, baked beans and biscuits..."

Obviously funny in the context of our comfortable 21st century existence

But historically speaking a great example of the human spirit

And if not for that we would still be living in caves and grunting to each other

Er, there's human spirit. Of course. And it should be applauded, celebrated, etc.


......But there's also plain stupidity.

Maybe stupidity is all part and parcel of the human spirit

I am sure most of the inspirational examples of humanity have been labelled "stupid" at some point

Only when a precedent hasn't already been set, though... Ergo, he should've simply known better. Just general common sense.

But therein lies the problem: some people are simply bereft of it.

Perhaps the RNLI should have left him to it and simply let 'Darwinism' play out.


All joking aside, I'm guessing he is mentally in a bad place, TBH.

An amateur, he's only been rescued once, he's got a long way to go match some of the other wasters out there that don't think twice about wasting other folks time and money, not to mention putting their lives at risk
