Collapse of a wall
 

The collapse of a wall on Blackburn road, I hope no-one was hurt.
I was walking past whilst the emergency services dealt with this, A brown eyed bro' as I walked passed turned to me and said, "nothing for you to see, keep walking you white person", I answered, "I'm already walking, unlike you I don't want to see whatever harm has come to someone".

Nice to know our coloured brethren are fitting right in with the British culture, multi-culti Britain .................... Don't you just love it ?

Just a thought, did you offer to nip off home to grab a spade to help ?

That's what happens when you take the scaffolding away before the decorator has finished.:eek::D:D

It was nasty to see, plenty of White, (am I allowed to say white), folk watching as well as brown eyes, (am I allowed to say brown eyes), I didn't want to be involved, (if I look close into the mirror, I have brown eye's), but why Did this Picky Bastweard pick on me rather than realise this is a 'Community' tragedy?

As I said, I hope no-one was harmed, no matter what colour of eye they have.

Funny, isn't it that I'd mentioned a guy on scaffolding on B'burn rd. to you, he was an accident waiting to happen, then there's another one within a few yards!

I'm sure that most people that witnessed this, no matter what colour of eye want anything but good, surely I just met someone objectionable?

Something similar happened in May this year (according to local paper) was todays at the same site or a completely separate incident ?
