    Whale of a tale for couple yachting off Cape Town


    A couple on a whale-watching trip off Cape Town, South Africa, say they had a lucky escape when a 10m (33ft) specimen leapt on to their yacht.
    The southern right whale, a species known for poor eyesight, snapped the mast before sliding back into the water, said Paloma Werner.
    She and her partner had just seconds to take cover, she said. A nearby tourist caught the moment on camera.
    "I still like whales," Ms Werner told the BBC afterwards.

    Bet she wish she'd gone to Scotland rather than Wales!

    Africa, Wales... what's the difference? They're both small little islands in the middle of nowhere, full of feckin eejits.

    More likely thought the boat was a female whale and it's luck was in!

    Either that or the wife needs to lose a bit of weight! :pac:

    How do you get two whales in a car?

    Take the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead.

    Whales can't wear glasses anyway, never mind going to Specsavers to buy them.

    Wales.. South Africa. Doesn't matter what the Plaice was called. It's all a cod anyway. I'm sure the Snapper will net a small fortune from the picture though. People will be trawling the net to sea it I guess. Bet it's worth a few hundred squid.
