Grumpy Sidney??? Swdney??? Skidney???

Sydney!

Very exciting discovery. But I can't stand it how Prime Minister Kevin Rudd 'announced' that both ships had been found. I can bet you a fiver that before his 'advisors' filled him in, he probably thought that the HMAS Sidney was some animated character from Ice Age. From watching the speech, it's easy to tell the man had no idea of what he was talking about, looking down at his notes, licking his lips, umming and ahrring. Terrible.

I hope they don't go and do something stupid,
