Thoughts that someone would throw him/herself from a bridge at the sight of this replica ancient warship are pretty far out. Can you believe the British have turned down the offer, from Greece, of a replica ancient Greek warship to deliver the Olympic Torch because the Brits were worried about congestion caused by people coming to see the ship and also are worried that people (English people no doubt) would throw themselves from bridges if they saw it! I think that those in power in England and the regular working slugs have all pretty much lost their ever loving minds because worries like that are preposterous. It sounds like one of the plot twists in a Peter Sellers movie like the Mouse that Roared or the concerns of those in the war room over the end of the world in the movie Dr. Strangelove, or even something akin to the panic caused by the radio broadcast of War Of The Worlds. It simply boggles my mind that they would seriously consider something like people throwing themselves from bridges upon seeing that ship, let alone worry about traffic and congestion. What in hell do they think is going to happen when the Olympics actually take place in London? Don't they think there will be congestion caused by that? It is a wonder they have not banned the Olympics by way of the same or similar ridiculous concerns!
All the best,
