Harbour master Gregorio De Falco - the man who told the cowardly Costa Concordia captain to 'Get Back on Board for xxxx's sake' - today woke up to find himself a national hero.

Headlines in Italian newspapers roared 'De Falco Idol' and 'Thank you Captain' as De Falco tried to play down the infamous four minute recording berating Francesco Schettino.

T-shirts with the phrase in Italian 'Vada a Bordo, Cazzo' (Get on board, damn it*) were being snapped up for £12 after an enterprising online clothing store advertised them on the web.

(*Cazzo is "prick" in Italian)

3. I just watched the repeat of Lawrence O'Donnell and that's what he said.

Seemed odd, since he also discussed the furor over a child saying a four letter word on "Modern Family" on ABC.

4. Hilarious.

5. "But I tripped and fell into a lifeboat and I can't get up"

6. 'Cazzo' does not mean 'prick' in this sentence. It means 'fuck.'

At least that's how I'd translate the idiom.

7. I can see that as well...
