Madchester lived up to its name today, went in a nice pub drinking then we came out and the whole area was cordoned off by the Police. Your first thought is something quite big but then you look directly up and theres a bloke hanging from the carpark. It was like an episode of 'Cracker', where Fitz tries to talk the wee mite round. The thought of that bloke dropping right in front of us was quite nauseating. I was apalled by people shouting at him though "Jump, you *" and "Jump, you dickhead" were the charming comments of drunken revellers. We hastily departed cos this was becoming some sorta sick spectator sport. Never a dull moment.

[Yudster]

Ok, I'll be the one to ask - did he jump?!

[S4B]

Presumably not Yuds as he only "almost" died!

[SAV1OUR]

Doesn't look like we'll find out, if he did, then he might get a few column inches in the local rag. Some people will do anything for fame(!)

[foot-loose]

I saw something very similar a few months back in Glasgow. Everyone had their camera phones out! It was * up.

What is WRONG with people?

If think it's eminently possible that Iain_smith is in fact an assasin who just travels the world bumping various people off so he can ply his wares. In which case we are supporting and encouraging his homicidal lifestyle.

I shall be making this thread available to the relevant authorities who will, I'm sure, match up Iain_smith's movements with the various deaths he reports on.

This should sort the matter once and for all.

[ladbroke]

Maybe Iain Smith is God????! He is the second coming, all hail Iain Smith! And they wonder why people are finding religion less relevant these days!!

[MK Chris]

Because you're in 'Ramble...' and it's well documented that you haven't been able to edit posts in here for a long time. Why don't you just add the URLs to your original post?
