Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's luxury yacht has moored in Croatian waters, as Tottenham wait for their Croatian midfielder Luka Modric to fly to London from his homeland for talks about his future.

This sounds a bit sinister to me. Remember when the British used to park a warship off the coast of some jumped-up colonial country to remind them exactly who was in charge?

i bet his boat has a trap door under the water line that allows his minions to use mini subs to mine other rich men's boats

Iirc... It actually does. Not for mining purposes (officially), but for escaping pirates.

And for disposing of recalcitrant midfielders.

why on earth would a private person need something so big? Everyone knows he's rich anyway... it's not like he's going to take 100 tourist for week long cruise to the Bahamas...

Cos he wants the biggest. The owners rarely travel for any periods anyway, they call the captain and tell him he wants the boat in Croatia for whatever date and he then flies to the closest airport and stays there. They might do small trips but owners dont want to be sailing, it's used as a floating hotel.

That is bullshit about the sub being able to use as a 'get away' by the way, it is launched like all the tenders from the garage at the stern or from the side by a lift. Terrorists can see that all day long, plus a sub fits maybe 2 people + pilot at most.

The weaponry on board however would be impressive.

The tour guide we had in the Maldives was very complimentary of us as a former colonial power and very grateful for the naval protection we provide. We also built them a city by all accounts. Nice guy.
The president of the Maldives had a quite impressive yacht moored in the harbour tbf.

in a recent survey, 80% of jamaicans said that they believed the country was better off when it was a colony

Name a single former British african nation which is doing well for itself.

Exactly.
India is doing reasonably well, though apparently they have 20m street kids of which 90% are glue sniffers. (I saw a doc on holiday).

Got quite into this on honeymoon:

I hear Somalia is nice this time of the year. The government there only controls half a city, out of the entire country!

Have to admit their flag is a nice colour though.

aye, the weather's dead hot, and odds on you won't get a rainy day during your entire trip!

About 5 minutes from where I work. I'll sink it during my lunch break.
