Possible sponsorship problems at the Brumbies....?

Maybe a poignant premonition of the year ahead for the old nags....

Old Warship sunk off Victoria's cast
There was a barely audible explosion, a puff of grey smoke and in about two minutes the decommissioned Australian naval warship HMAS Canberra sank beneath the waters off Victoria's coast.

The 138 metre guided-missile frigate acquired by Victoria in 2006 will now become a much sought-after dive site 30 metres below the surface.
Next on Victoria's list is to acquire the Brumbies as their Super Rugby Team!!!

The ship's sinking on Sunday was a long time coming for scuba diving enthusiast John Lawler, who established the Victorian Artificial Reef Society in 2006 to lobby for the navy frigate to be sunk in the state's waters.

"As a scuba diver, I'm extremely excited about diving on a wreck like this," the 66-year-old told AAP after watching the ship go down about 3km off Barwon Heads on the Bellarine peninsula.

"From a scuba diver's point of view, it's like Christmas," he said.

It's like Christmas, but colder and wetter and darker and without the trees and lights and... , well, without the Christmasy bit.

Wrecks are great, but better in warmer water!

I like the rather deluded bit on TV when he was saying something along the lines of Victoria becoming a world class dive location to rival the Great Barrier Reef. Bah.

Thats almost as bad as the idiot who thought the Perth Eye would rival London.

The carols are especially tricky...
