Never understood how people who happen to have same passport feel entitled to claim some piece of achievements of others. Nationalism sucks. Because everyone knows that the British are genetically predisposed to excel at cave diving and should be proud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be because of a lingering cave man gene? I know living on an isolated island tends to preserve the DNA of obsolete species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had said the same to my wife, also that it would be British divers who would find them, there's no one better that the British cave rescuers. No argument, but sometimes not saying anything goes a long way. Eg: you have an argument with the Mrs over who lost the keys, 2 days later after changing all the locks she finds them in her bag. When she tells you, you just smile and walk away.. Some things are better left unsaid, everyone knows.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the answer, as we spent many long years doing our best to spread quality DNA amongst all comers all over the world Apart from some of us who were a bit more picky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Russell17au Posted July 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2018 This search was a team effort and it is not just about what country was the first into the area where the boys were found. The way that a lot of you a carrying on anyone would think that the Thai's just sat on their asses while waiting for 5 days for these 3 Brits to arrive. The only reason that these 3 Brits were called on was because of their knowledge of this particular cave. The Brits would not have reached those boys if it was not for an international teams effort. I say congratulations to ALL the countries and ALL the teams that were involved. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading a few more POSTS, its already been said and made quite clear on TVF via many POSTS and members that this was clearly a international effort The number of different nationals involved is quite heart warming and thats what has got us here The problem here is some anti feeling for a particular nationality and of course people such as you who cant be bothered to keep up with whats already been posted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puritan Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 5 hours ago, Just Weird said: That's not a fact, they did not do it on their own, they are just a small part of a big rescue team of equally proficient divers. If the others had been equally proficient then the best cave rescuers in world wouldn't have to travel half way across the world to show the others how it's done. Doh. No one said they did it on their own anyway. Think you have an appropriate name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
