Wasps are the good guys with a bad rep. Troy Tempest and the team were ok tbf. 27 minutes ago, mathematics said: W.A.S.P.s, however, are generally not Celtic fans. No, they're an 80s metal band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Police hunting 'stocky' man who is repeatedly pushing walkers into canal Police in Edinburgh are hunting a man, thought to be aged around 60, who has been repeatedly pushing people into the Union Canal and they have appealed to the public for information Police have launched a manhunt after reports of a stocky male "aged around 60" pushing people into an Edinburgh canal. Incidents have been alleged of a "grey haired, balding man" shoving individuals into the water on the Union Canal. Police in Edinburgh have now been patrolling the union canal recently following the claims and are on the lookout for the man, reported EdinburghLive. The force has taken to social media to reassure people in the community that they have responded to the reports and are patrolling the area. Uniformed officers have been focusing their investigation along the canal in the south west of Edinburgh. A Twitter post from Edinburgh Police said they were particularly patrolling the Meggetland area of the canal, near Polwarth, with the man understood to have targeted various individuals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seems an apt topic for this.Title of piece has a man pushing people into the canal.First paragraph of the report says exactly the same. Second and third paragraph change the wording but basically say a man has been pushing people in the canal.Do these people get paid by the word? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back it was “youths” stalking the canal. Before that it was “a cross-dressing East European”. Now it’s this Granny Danger type. Only person I know who genuinely went in the canal was jaiked and swerved to avoid a dog one night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me! Though Renton did once fall out of a boat into a sea loch. Managed to put a nail through the fleshy bit next to my thumb today. Mrs (amateur florist) had just made a funeral wreath so said she was pleased that she could do my funeral flowers and get more of the life insurance in her pocket. Also said “now you know how Jesus felt”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are it's a company who trace dormant pensions and savings accounts but take a finder's fee. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
