Published Date: 03 July 2008
PRINCE William had his first taste of excitement on the high seas when he helped carry out a £40 million cocaine seizure.
The Royal Navy warship the prince is serving on recovered nearly a tonne of the drug when it intercepted a speedboat in the West Indies on Saturday.

William was involved in planning the operation and carrying out surveillance of the drugs boat, said Commander Mark Newland, HMS Iron Duke's captain.

The 50ft speedboat was spotted by the ship's helicopter hundreds of miles north-east of Barbados.

Cdr Newland said: "He (Prince William] is someone who contributes at every level. He is a very professional military officer, and very astute. He acts as I would expect a young officer of his experience and maturity to act in this type of operation."

A round of grog to every tar from the grateful prince who likes to fly his helicopter to his girlfriend's place.

That's what you would term a sycophant. He's so far up the parasite that only the bootlaces are showing. He probably reckons he'll get a knighthood for his crawling.

After the seizure, the Prince and co were spotted experiencing a series of altered states.

That was the rest of the story that wasn't reported!

I heartily agree because Prince William can certainly afford to provide grog to many, many ships if so necessary.

And how are we this fine morning, madam?

Evening Timothy Charles...sat bloated at the computer...first attempt at vegetable tempura...not bad even if I do say so myself...think I will now retire to bed with the "Apothecary's Garden" and ponder my peonys...

Can just imagine Prince Willie sneaking to the bog...trying desperately not to sneeze after sniffing out the coke....

"Back in a tick lads".....zoooooooooom!

Tragedy about the vegetable tempura.

Maybe the batter got the better of you.

Better luck next time, madam.
