Sick rating

I was surprised that this did not appear in the British press:

Why are you surprised? Unless it is some Matelot caught with his pants around his ankles (preferably whilst in company with a person of the same sex) the press ain't interested.

 

I don't mean to be rude, but it's not very interesting is it?
Bloke gets choppered off to sick bay.

 

Pretty normal procedure except the use of an Irish coastguard helo. They have been doing this sort of thing for years and it very rarely makes the news.

 

Perhaps it was a slack day in the Irish press then!

 

Several members of the Sligo coastguard crew are Ex FAA so it would be nothing out of the ordinary for them.
