Post For Sale: Aircraft Carrier

Got a spare $7m USD?

From the 'only on E-bay' file....

1944 British Colossus Class Aircraft Carrier

Any novel ideas on what it could be used for?

Yep. Haven't you heard the Kevin B y Wilson song "Living next door to Alan?"

Or we could load it up with all the illegal immigrants & point it towards their homeland...

There was an ex Rusky one advertised also for sale in Trader Boat about six moths ago. I could had even been nuclear powered. I wonder what the mooring fees would be worth in Sydney Harbour ?

I would moor it in the Sydney Harbour and turn it into a theme park/nite club/Hotel for f@ggots. Make a killing.

WIAL could buy it with all that cash they've got from landing fees and sink the fer at the 34 threshold and add couple of hundred meters to the R/W length.
