In the following tweet Sian said it was “so funny” because she and the male cyclist made eye contact as the bus went by!

Which eye :hmm: ;)
That was wrong, the journey clearly didn't understand the tweet, it was guy on bus she made contact with!

I did wonder how close he must have been to the road....or if the woman on the bus was using binoculars! :D
 
Pembroke dock is a shit hole of immeasurable proportions!
Yep. It doesn't have the ground-in shitness of, say, Llanelli, or bits of Merthyr Tydfil, but it's a forsaken place. Half the shops are closed, many of the remainder are charity shops or some other kind of short let bit of temporariness, and the rest are the Shops The 70s Forgot. It's so deserted, even the tumbleweed's given up and gone home. It's a shame, because architecturally, it's got some rather interesting bits, but it's run-down, discouraged, and going nowhere fast.

Although I'm in Pembroke, 2 miles up the road, and not quite as desolate, I must admit that I'd quite like to live somewhere without the sense of hopeless futility that "the Dock" sends out in waves.

Perhaps Grainne Cuffe* reads this thread, because it's now been updated to

In the following tweet Sian said it was “so funny” because she made eye contact with another person on the bus who also witnessed it as the bus went by.

Witnesses said the man appeared to be “very drunk”.

That'll be the chemicals and sewage from swallowing the canal water :eek:

Is there any close up cctv footage of the said gentleman....just out of curiosity, you understand :oops:

I wouldn't want to risk a dip in a city centre canal anywhere - the local rag always run stories when they drain them for maintenance, as is happening now.

These pictures of the Rochdale Canal run between Minshull Street Crown Court and down through the Gay Village. Bound to be filled with more shit given the pubs in the area, so Castlefield might, just, be cleaner.

This is what was left behind as another city centre canal is drained

I'm not aware of any close-up images of the swimming gent, but I'm sure you can find similar on google if you so wish...
 
Those pictures really aren't that bad. I'd have expected much worse.

There have been bodies and all sorts in the canals over the years. There is the story of The Pusher, an alleged serial killer prowling the streets of the city. :hmm:

Fact or fiction? Ten things we learned about 'The Pusher'

There does seem to have been an unusually large number of deaths in waterways in Gtr Manchester so who knows.

Manchester does have an unfortunate track record when it comes to serial killers, mind...

Oh aye, didn't Harold Shipman do most of his work in Greater Manchester? And he's Britain's worst serial killer (though surely he's actually the best?)

Our old dog used to love running wild in open places, she'd literally run for miles, fields, beaches, farmland, up mountains....we took her onto Saddleworth moor a couple of times...nothing, she sat shaking on the spot and refused to move....second time she wouldn't even get out of the car.
It was so bizarre. How do animals sense these things.
Shame, it's such a beautiful place with a heinous history.

She might have detected a buried body in the vicinity. There are probably a number buried up there beyond Keith Bennett that we know about.
 
That's freaky stuff. Dogs seem to be able to sense death more acutely than humans. e.g. those cancer sniffing dogs.

"Dr Claire Guest, co-founder of Medical Detection Dogs, realised she had breast cancer after her dog, Daisy, began nudging an area of her chest which felt bruised.
Tests later revealed she had two tumours.
Other owners have reported behaviour changes in pets prior to being diagnosed with cancer"

That's amazing!
 
Then there is the famous Oscar the Cat, who has sucessfully predicted around 100 deaths in the nursing home where he lives- often more accurately than the doctors themselves.

Can Oscar the cat predict people's deaths?

The cat probably poisoned the poor old dears, or clawed them to death in their sleep. It's suspiciously coincidental that the cat 'predicted' so many deaths. :hmm:
 
"Oscar also offers much-needed comfort to the terminally ill residents who would have otherwise died alone"

There's nothing wrong with poor old people. They are sitting in bed feeling all chipper, they see him with his ' kiss of death' reputation wandering in, think "bloody Hell my times up" and are literally frightened to death!
The cat is a Jonah.

Or, the staff send him into the 'bolshie' patients rooms so the bed is covered in cat hair, then they inject them with ' the stuff' ....... patients dead, Oscar gets the blame for doing his 'Septic Peg' ......Jobs a good 'un ;)
