The 13-year-old swam 4km in rough water after his mother and siblings were swept out to sea off the coast of Western Australia.
Come birthday time, she BETTER get him a Nintendo 64, and a tamagachi!
Oh, wait, sorry. I was thinking of what I wanted when I was 13.
What do teenage boys like these days, besides boobs?
besides boobs
They are evergreen for a reason
Fairly certain that they're not supposed to be green.
Disagree, green boobs are awesome.
A man of art and refined taste!
The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.
FFS BBC, did nobody proof read this?
what should it say?
Something like:
'The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.'
The way they've put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!
good edit, also if you use numerals for numbers (12) dont change to word numbers (eight) inmediately after! also; i want to see the footage of the rescue copter clinging to the paddle board :(
What a hero! This could be a movie!
A bbc link, let me pop over to europe to read it.
