For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

Quote taken from 1st page of Accrington Observer :

TWO police officers have been praised for their bravery after wading into a freezing river, turned into a raging torrent by heavy rain, to rescue a woman who had been stranded for nearly an hour.

It is believed the woman, who has not been named, was burying a goldfish on the bank of Tinker Brook, Oswaldtwistle, when her black Labrador fell into the water.
She climbed in to rescue her pet but the current was so strong she quickly became stuck and a nearby homeowner heard her cries for help.

I hope the police involved advised her next time to flush it down the loo or creamate it on the BBQ.

I was reading the artical really seriously untill i got to the bit about the goldfish ....i am now waiting for the paper to dry out on the radiator after choking on my coffee ! :D

I read it as well and thought her a bit daft.

I'm glad she's ok, and more importantly the police officers that rescued her are as well.

I hope when her Labrador dies she's a bit more careful burying it, or at least wait until the brook isn't flooded.:D

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...

It must have been really frightening, but I wouldn't have said I was burying my goldfish. I would have lied and said I slipped, or the dog pushed me in.:D

I wonder who it was?

I will keep my eyes peeled for any wet ladies in Ossy.

I think her tale about burying a goldfish seems a bit fishy to me :D

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

so if anyone ever sees me throwing the after xmas sack of unwanted kittens into the canal please take note of this story and keep safe and dry :)

i thought the toilet was the propper place to dispose of dead fish anyway :rolleyes:

although a house on chatterton drive baxenden has a swanvesta matchbox burried in its back garden with jaws1 and jaws 2 in it since 1979 after my brother murdered them :(

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

Aw, did he murder your fishes? What a waste, I could have fed them to my cat.

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

mine are buried under the old cobbles of the back alley of Hornby Street. :p

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

mine went on the long swim goodbye unless my niece was here then they got buried in the back garden!

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

First Rindy, after seeing the picture supplied, I trust that modern technology will NEVER make all computers scratch and sniff!;)

Also agree, how incredibly daft of the women to first put herself (then the coppers) in danger for the fish, then to admit it.

But to me, the craziest thing is her thinking the Lab "fell" into the water (these dogs LOVE the water and most likely happily jumped in). And then thinking that this dog needed her help to rescue it.:D

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

Why does stupidity rule? If a pet dies find a way to say goodby without trying to get yourself or others killed. It beggars belief that she would go anywere near water that is rising the numpty.

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

I think I speak for us all when I say I never want to see you with your sack in your hand ;)

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...

Re: For The Love Of A Fish ...
 

Not the way I would have thought Ossy would get into the national rags. :o
