I Wanna Go Home
By Paul Homewood
Sorry, I thought I had done my last post for the year, but I could not resist this! (The wife’s nagging, so it’s the first of the New Year)
Laurence Topham is the photographer for the “Let’s follow in the footsteps of the brave Antarctic explorer, Douglas Mawson, and see how Mediterranean the South Pole has become” expedition, sent by the Guardian to show the world we are all going to die, and it’s “all our fault”!
Well, at the moment, their ship is trapped in non-existent ice, and the ice breakers sent to rescue them have found the non-existent ice too thick as well.
And now, apparently, young Laurence is finding that “following in the footsteps of great explorers” is just a bit too much.
Whereas Mawson lost his two colleagues in a desperate march back to safety in 1913, and only got back to base by the skin of his teeth, not to mention frostbite, young Laurence is depressed because he misses his mum’s banana, peanut butter milkshakes, and has a stiff back because his bed is a bit too narrow. Worse still, he jammed his leg in a door, when it was snowing.
He says he thought he was going to have an adventure, but now wants to go home. He is apparently “stressed out!”
Oh, diddums.
UPDATE
Please note that the video has now been withdrawn from You Tube, presumably because it is so embarrassing!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
And the beer, don’t forget the beer, beer good!, Happy New Year.. Paul.
It is New Year’s Day and he wants a banana, peanut butter milkshake?
I’m with Sparks – pass me a beer, please.
~~~~~~
Happy New Year to you, Paul.
And a hug from us to your wife, also.
It is getting even better! http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/12/antarctic-expeditions
“Weather problems are also stalling current efforts to rescue passengers from the Shokalskiy using a Chinese helicopter. Fortunately, even if the blizzard conditions continue to thwart air missions a large American icebreaker, the Polar Star, will reach the vessel in approximately ten days, and, just in case, an even bigger Russian one, the Federov, should arrive within a month.”
So the carbon foot print of the rescue grows!
like flies to flypaper …
To all the sane rational people I wish a happy new year.
To all the irrational and unbalanced types that are trapped on a boat in the ice, I wish them luck, and more than that, I wish them knowledge; I wish them the moral awareness to understand that what they set out to do was wrong; I wish them the courage to admit their errors to themselves and others.
As I have posted here and elsewhere, these are tenderfoots or dudes as we refer to them here (Arizona). They have money, are looking for a nice time in a novel (to them) environment that somehow at the end of their adventure, they want to feel good about themselves, and enrich themselves by taking in the majesty of nature.
It can all turn ugly if somehow, respect for nature is ignored. Here in the desert, people every year pay with their lives by playing around in nature’s realm without proper respect for nature’s unyielding power.
Bottom line is the responsible tour guide, in this case Professor Turkey, gets full blame for spoiling his charge’s holiday. I hope they make it out alive.
Happy New Year Paul! We had a great party here. We played waltz music all night (my dear wife is a musician) and are now counting down to midnight.
Hope the ship-of-fools makes it out in good health. Polar Star is on the way.
Hope they have to wait till the big Russian ship comes, and that wind and snow keep the helicopters away. No sympathy.
Reblogged this on Cornwall Wind Watch and commented:
You might be able to hear the worlds smallest violin orchestra now playing in Cornwall. I thought bananas were on the banned list of food for greens?
Happy New Year, everyone.
Strikes me the Environmentalist parasites haven’t been doing so well with their leisure sightseeing cruises this last year or so.
First Greenpi$$’s debacle when they thought they could heavy up Vlad the Bad, an archetypical Asian strongman if ever there was one, which appears to have lost them a very nice gin palace, and now this bunch of prize tossers, strikes me there’s a fair chance the boat is going to become the next of a very long list of vessels to get lost in the icy polar wastes, most of them operated by considerably more experienced groups than Guardian journalists and climate McScientists.
I think if I were a “Green” activist, I would make damn sure to stay on dry land for the foreseeable future!
There is a Guardian journalist on board ? Wonderful news.
Hopefully next time they will send all their journalists (the BBC too).
Wanker. Hope someone gets a massive bill for this pantomime.

Funny how warmists throw insults at ‘deniers’ with gay abandon (take that phrase any way you like), but throw their toys from the pram when they are on the receiving end.
“I wanna go home, AND I’M NOT PLAYING ANY MORE!!!!!”
