I thought this thread was about James Whale

It's not really a laughing matter, he seems to have been injured and having great difficulty.

I just put on Sky News there to see if there is any mention of this!

Jebus Christ, it is the main headline and they still have not reported any other stories since this was reported.

Ridiculous really that a news station would spend so much time reporting about this!

Anyway, it has just been reported that got lost on his way to Wales!

*sorry*

Sky News is a tabloid on TV.

Wat news station other than Sky wud broadcast hrs of live coverage of a flippin sea creature, (frig the pun)...?!

They might as 'whale' say... ''LOOK AT THIS AQUATIC MAMMAL... THE BIGGEST IN THE FISH KINGDOM... IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!''

Dopes.

It doesn't warrant hours of headline space but it is an unusual story. It is effectively a death watch though.

**Babysis** · 21/01/2006, 12:05 PM

Ive just been watching it on sky. I can understand people saying It's not really worthy of the hours of coverage its getting, but at the same time it is a big deal to alot of londoners. There are hundreds of people down by the river now watching. Its captured the interest of people here, so as far as Sky are concerned, its newsworthy. Poor creature, I think drinkfeckarse could be right, it is looking more and more like a death watch, although I hope not. But I'd also say fair play to the volunteers who are wasit deep in that manky freezing water. Thats true dedication.

The whale has died.

Memories of our orca orca killer whales in cork.

**dcfc_dee** · 24/01/2006, 12:45 PM

i was thinkin it was Pat Dolan that was spotted when i heard this

Priceless and at least partly true.

Cut to commercial and we see ads for Mazda, Toyota, Sony and ...um ...Nutregena -from countries sweeping the sea clean of the Whales.
