Well that's ruined that! How selfish can some people be?

Trying to restart in those, now churning, waters will not be any fun.

I feel really sorry for the teams who have trained so hard for this one day.

Personally, I think they should just have ran him over.

I just want to kick him where the sun dont shine, in the BBC news article there's a picture of his smiling smug face. :-| :-| :-|

I think the race should have been rescheduled. It wasn't fair to either teams & to stop then restart the race as they did was a farce.

We all know about TV scheduling and how events can't be re-organised.

I don't know how it could have been made fairer TBH.

Tis scary though that broadcasters were talking about possible disruption during the olympics.

I hope the chap gets a suitable sentence for his idiocy, he was lucky that he wasn't killed or maimed. Now that would have looked good for the UK on TV.

Apparently.
He's been named but I refuse to aid his 'celebrity' by posting it here. I shall call him 'Twonk'.
If I went in the Thames I'd be bound to get a dose of Weils. I wonder what the odds are ;-) :-D

For a moment, I thought it was Fr Neill Horan again!

Remember his antics some years ago, including his stunt at the British F1 race? He also appeared briefly on Britains' Got Talent (I think) doing a bit of Irish dancing. Idiot!

I remember the F1 race and still shudder at the thought of a) him being sliced in two or b) drivers swerving to avoid him and crashing..... :-(
