A British vacationer is being hailed a hero after he thwarted gun-toting pirates attacking a cruise ship — by throwing a deck chair at them.

Wyn Rowlands was celebrating his 62nd birthday with a dream cruise on board the MSC Melody near the Seychelle Islands when he spotted armed pirates in a speedboat trying to clamber on to the vessel.

Quick-thinking Wyn, a retired engineer from Bangor-on-Dee, picked up a deck-chair and flung it down at the gang before raising the alarm.

The ship’s captain, Ciro Pinto, was then able to out-manoeuvre the pirates to prevent them boarding the cruise ship.

What has become of the fearsome pirate? Is there no committee reviewing wanna be pirates? An elderly guy hurls a freaking deck chair at some pirates and that is enough to prevent an attack? I not only cry bull-shit on this one, but I am screaming BULL-SHIT! These are not your fathers pirates.

I’ve heard of pirates like the fellows scared off by the likes of Wyn Rowlands and they aren’t the snaggle tooth, foul smelling, scallywag, back stabbing, two timing, eat barnacles and drink rot gut liquor type of pirates. Oh no, these pirates are an entirely different breed.
