Irish Navy Ship renamed Betsy
By
From the Irish Mirror yesterday comes the news that 31 year old Roberta O’Brien is the first woman to command an Irish naval ship. She took charge of the LE Aisling after a ceremony in Galway. There is no truth in the rumours that Naval officers were seen eyeing up pink paint in Woodies for a spot of redecoration and that the ship is to be renamed Betsy. I was going to throw in that extra tyres might be needed for the docks where the ship anchors, but then I might be accused of real shit stirring. And I wouldn’t want that at all 
She’s a dead ringer for Woody Harrelson though…

It’s great that you can mark the occasion with sexist stereotypes.

You read the bit about shit stirring didn’t you? anyway, show me the studies that say women don’t prefer pink and don’t like to name their cars. The car parking one is harder to get substantial data on though.
