Coward, don't take the job if you're not willing to do it properly
No really weird places I'm afraid

A cup of hot chocolate. The diet has gone thanks to the cold weather.

I wouldn't presume to tell Mr Gove he should diet
even on the basis of our close familiarity and knowledge of each other

think about it if you were in the captains position
sure you're in a position of authority, but it sounds like he and other captains had beend oing that grandstanding thing all the time, he just got unlucky and hit some rocks

suddenly realising that he's in deep shit, probably killed some people and caused millions of euros damage he ran away. fight or flight wannit?

Amberl would have been standing on the very front of the ships yelling "COME ON YOUR FUCKERS! SWIM! SWIM LIKE THE BITCHES YOU ARE! YOU DON'T NEED LIFE JACKETS! FUCKING SWIM YOU CUNTS!"

Most people take jobs without being willing to do them properly.
He's been a shoddy captain for years and it's been allowed to pass. I'm afraid the buck stops further up the chain of British-American Carnival Corporation.

The CEO should have been counting the passengers off?

If you have an incompetent as captain of a £400 million pound vessel you really need to be off to that room of mirrors.
A number of stories circulating point to a dunce being given the keys.

He has said he tripped and fell into the life boat.
Surely a captain is qualified by international maritime bodies?

He looks like an idiot.

You have a point
Gazing round this IT department I can see a shit-load of folk who have promoted into jobs that they can't cope with.

However there is a difference between keeping a ship afloat and it's passengers safe, and keeping a website running.

The captain has to bear the brunt, but the idiots that felt him worthy of such a responsible position also have to get it right up 'em.

He was given the job because he had a hat with Captain written on it in crayon.
