GET onboard!
Rather than beating down court-room doors or stalking out his home, many Italian citizens are choosing humour to express their anger at the disgraced Captain of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, snapping up a new line of tshirts which sport the words  “Vada a Bordo, Cazzo”. The line is taken from the now world famous conversation between the Harbour Master Gregorio De Falco and Schettino, where Falco ordered the latter to get out of his life-raft and back onto Concordia to coordinate rescue and relief efforts, and translates to “Get back onboard, damn it”. Now a national hero, Falco has played down his heroics telling media he was just doing his job.
