A mate of mine was on an anit-triden protest on Rainbow Warrior in Faslane. It all went a bit wrong because (I think she meant another ship) had tried the same thing the week before so all the authorites were prepared. As soon as they got there the ship was siezed and they were escorted to open waters, only half the crew were alowed to man the ship so my mate was with the group that had to tackle an asault course of obstacles to jump into a dingy and sail out to somewhere off the coast of Arron (I think) to meet the ship. They took shifts sailing back to the Thames. When they reached harbour, on a massive adrenaline high, she climbed to the top of the mast and phoned home. Her boyfreind answered and dumped by her. Reasons given 'She's too green and get's too attached to 'things', not wanting to part with anything until she's found a new home for it (she say's that this tends to apply to her boyfriends too so at least he saved her that job)'
He was an ecologist or something like that, he worked with trees anyhow. I guess maybe it's more popular for blokes to be green and probably just supposed to be about saying the right things (after all, you're still supposed to fly away on a nice posh honeymoon somewhere a long way away, relaxing on beaches enjoying the sunset, aint you?
