The tanker was subsequently towed further away from the coastline and salvaged.[4] Collins' response to this was the subject of a famous parody interview by the satirists John Clarke and Bryan Dawe, in which Clarke, playing Collins, repeatedly refers to the ship of which "the front fell off."[5]Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02698254976611389890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-66906515486202523432009-07-14T22:32:48.494+01:002009-07-14T22:32:48.494+01:00Fantastic!
