:eek::eek::eek:Looking at the photo Restless has started me worring the last time Jen was seen she was hold of two footballs:eek::eek::eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

well the carts could mirror real life and be referees Eric:rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Was she? Or were they holding her?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Having watched some of the recent refereeing screw-ups I think that your average shopping cart would probably do a much better job than the bozos calling the Premier League games;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

To be honest i think jens in control, She had em on the deck in a bag in the watering hole, Plus her being the notorious absinthe drinker,would you cross her?:eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Well come to think of it was hard to tell:eek::D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Could be C'mon's, its got his style all over it. :) (And he's taken his own advice too)

Okay, that's the version for the Aliens, now can we have it in English ..... please. ;) :)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I hate cheeky scousers:D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Yeah, me too ! :D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Get serious guys ... and stay on topic:D An intergalactic Ragnarok is waiting in the wings under the Whalley Road bridge, and you two are talking about scousers:eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

That's Scousers with a big "S" & for your information Mr. Eric from Canada ;) some consider them to be Aliens. :D In fact I was once informed if Scousers ever made it into space, they'd be known as Ferengi & lets face it they do bear a passing resemblance to "Our Wayne". :s_aim1:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

In my opinion the shopping trolleys pose a bigger threat to everyone than the fire extinguishers or the footballs, they are a still and silent threat never moving much often unseen but lurking in the shallows or the deep.They are nothing if not versatile , we have also failed to realize the problem of the deadly wheelie bin which are a strong and resilient creature with the ability to even ground and stop twenty to boats in their tracks. The invasion of our canal system by alien or foreign bodies or entity's is a problem we have yet to fully come to terms with, we must stay alert to the threat these invaders pose.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

They like enticing people into dangerous waters with the idea that £1 may be there somewhere

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I am starting to question the sanity of some of the contributers to this thread, the idea that shopping trolleys pose a threat to the canal is misguided. It is known that shopping trolleys prefer shallow water due to their lack of buoyancy, plus they like to disguise themselves, see attachments for proof, this would not be possible submerged.
The fact that trolleys are found in the canal is a misjudgment on the trolly's part and once placed is irreversible.

The extinguisher has not moved position, just rotated on its axis, the reason for this is unknown at this time.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Ah but the extinguisher is Lurking.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I think its a matter of perspective, I have observed it rotating, yet you have seen it as lurking.

I think the thing in my favour is I have submitted proof of both of my obsevations.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Agreed but it seems now to be Lurking in a certain area,? Perhaps n abduction is on the cards.:eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

That is supposing the alien theory is correct, I'm not committing myself.

What I can say with certainty is that when enough turbulence occurs the extinguisher will continue its journey, the most pressing question is which way will it go this time, its present trajectory was heading for the bridge on Blackburn Road yet it stalled with yards to go, as my photo proves.

Only persistent observations will determine this, and you can sleep easy knowing that a dedicated team have undertaken this task on your behalf.................have to go the nurse has come to put me on the commode.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Ah... now the old lurking/rotating tactics are being deployed ..this particular extinguisher is showing signs of intelligence higher than some of our long standing members . :D ;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Big "S", little "s" ... who cares ... most scousers think a capital letter is something you mail to London (or london);):D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Its something I did hint at in post 214 but it went unchallenged ?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Mmmm ... you seem to have been on here longer than I have;):D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Yep .. there goes me big gob again :o

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Is it as big as that comedian's gob in your avatar?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

another goody taken whilst walking the canal.....

....Claytoners-- Don't they know that boats go IN the water


Oh and this bench. A bench for small aliens perhaps ?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

That maybe another factor in all this.. the extinguisher seems to have little, if any intake of fluids. ;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Just found this shocker hiding on the net:

Leeds and Liverpool Canal

The English writing on it had me fooled for a while. However, there are several universal constants: speed of light, gravitational constant, Planck's Constant, the elementary charge. So, it isn't outrageous to consider that The English Language is a universal constant. Wouldn't expect aliens to be spouting off in frog or kraut would you?;):D

Went to that site, gave up after reading this:-

We walked from Burnley to Accrington on Saturday, 22nd September 2007. A noisy 10 mile walk as we were never far away from the M65 motorway.

What were those engineers and navvies thinking of?
Who in their right mind would build the canal next to a noisy motorway?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

They were Irish ... duh;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I am sorry Dave but i have to take issue with your unfounded and ill researched conclusion that, and i quote "it is known shopping trolleys prefer shallow water" i as you know have extensive experience in the hunting and eradication of canal invading parasites, and have known trolleys to dwell in the shallows and also the deep waters some disguised some fully out in all their glory.This poses a serious risk despite your statement to the contrary,the lack of buoyancy is not a problem to them as they a primarily an ambush creature pre fairing to lay in wait for some unsuspecting passer by.Your pictures of the disguised trolleys are also misleading as they appear to be taken in a river rather than a canal, they are just a attempt to back up your flawed argument that trolleys are only found in the shallows. The axis spinning thing with the extinguisher could that be an elaborate mating ritual to attract a mate maybe?????

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Perhaps Dave is trying to lull us, in a false sense of security? n hes really one of em.:eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I don't know if anybody has realised but as this fire extinguisher floats towards Church, nobody has put Tealeaf on alert:eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I do understand that you have insight in to the complexities of canal dipping, but my pictures are proof that the trolleys do prefer shallow water(post 214). As shallow water cannot be found in canal systems they have to inhabit flowing rivers, as they are vulnerable to predation they adopt camouflage as I have show.

As further proof I have uploaded a picture of a dead one, it as you can see, it could not manage to get into the water, it had started to camouflage itself but expired due to lack of shallow water.

I await proof from yourself to at least give substance to your hypothesis.

Case proved I think.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

The extinguisher in question was traveling away from church and is in fact in Clayton, it is expected to continue toward the Whalley Road bridge, but as it trajectory is not certain at this moment in time we are awaiting its movement with anticipation.

We will of course post its movement as soon as it commences, at this time people will be able to brace themselves.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Panoramic evidence!

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

;)So what direction does the canal flow in - west to east, or which ever way the windblows! :)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Which ever way the reptilian agenda wish it to:hesoff:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

It's not all the way for sure - it was built last time I was there and the motorway only runs by the Clayton to near Altham doesn't it, at an angle, not flush with the canal! :confused: Unless you'd been smoking something that sckewed your mind! :rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

The reptilian agenda, what there are crocodiles in the canal now? :D Come to think of it a lot of lakes/ponds near me have red necked terrapins in them now, that kids who no longer wanted their pets after getting terrapins after the Mutant Ninja Turtles films, threw them in - any in that canal! ;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Huh your the one posting David Icke like threads? And thee don't know the reptilian agenda lolol

It is rumoured there is a certain part of his body he can't tell from his elbow, so what chance he got with a different species?
If it is a different species from him, maybe he's trying to throw us off the thread with a double bluff?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Yeh I do know about it but it's off topic isn't it - which is why I mentioned kids throwing terrapins and turtles, they got for pets, in local ponds and waterways when they get too big. These terrapins grow to the size of a saucepan lid and can take the tips of your fingers off with their jaws.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Well I thought it was something to do with the slope:rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

And there was me thinking they did it with shears:rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Your case is flawed Dave your pictures only show river dwelling trolleys which are a different beast than the ones we are currently studying. I refer you to post 55 and the attached photos clearly showing at least four trolleys in what judging from the water mark on the wash wall is at least three to four feet of water , i also can vouch personally for the depth of that particular pond of water it is hall street pound and lock which at its deepest is about five to six feet deep, you will also notice that there is a picture of the trolleys close cousin the pram which is also pictured in the deepest part of the pound. Case proved i think you will find my good man.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Are you sure the Pram and the Trolley are related Dave:rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Without a doubt John , the trolley is a genus of the pram and if you think about it they both can carry children as well as other goods.And as a former canal man you cannot doubt my expertise in canal species recognition can you surely?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Ya but they could be dingles Dave:rolleyes:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I did state that the ones that land in the canal have done so by accident, its a bit like swans landing on the motorway,but as yet no photographic evidence has surface to counter my argument. I await this evidence before I re-evaluate my stance.

The original matter has remained static.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

See told yeh it was Lurking.:D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I am now becoming increasingly concerned about the inertia of the fire extinguisher capsule. It appears to be waiting, possibly for some intergalactic signal from its masters on its planet of origin. Once that signal is given, will it unleash a storm of destruction on the denizens of Hyndburn? :eek:

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

You state that the trolleys that land in the canal do so by accident , you have asked myself for evidence on my statement that the trolleys are there and like deep water by their own volition. But i must ask where is your evidence to support your stance that they are there by accident, other than you saying that it is so. I can draw on over a decades experience of working in the canal environment and coming across all of the species under discussion on a professional level .This i feel gives me an advantage to comment on these problems that our local waterways are facing at this worrying time.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

There were two dudes with dogs today on the canal. Dave did I walk past you?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

They may come in peace Steve we wont know until they are ready to reveal their true intentions, what are your thoughts regarding the trolley conundrum deep water shallow water argument?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

No I was on my own, if you check the panoramic photos my dog is on the pictures, clean to start with and muddy later. So if you check out the dog, I am always with it,............................................... ... on a lead there is a dirty smelly thing on one end... and a dog on the other.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I should have elaborated. One guy walking down jacksons turned left and went church way. By time I reached the swing bridge he was gone.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I did shout at it this afternoon.........a reply came back................................ move on sonny your causing a disturbance...it was a policeman, so couldn't check any further

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Would agree with you, Dave, the river-dwelling and canal-dwelling trollies are separate but closely related subspecies. I'm still not sure how they relate to whatever alien lifeforce is in the now stationary container. As you say, they may attempt to communicate with us soon. Possibly, those in situ - Dave and Restless - should commence a conversation with the container to see what happens.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

No wasn't me I went the other way, I have documented my walk with panoramic detail, you will notice apart from the dog there is no other person about, I think its because I smell, and shout at inanimate objects

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I did see post 257.

Perhaps whats needed is an ambassador from Hyndburn International Borough Council to approach the cylinder, (perhaps they have taken the form of an every day object so as not to cause panic, a sign surely that they come in peace), and make it clear that they are welcome so long as they don't plan to give estimates that will undercut the prices of our indigenous Polish plumbers.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

The bus driver told me that he had to ban this guy from the bus cause he smells that bad. He said that people were getting off before their destination because of him. That's not you is it? :hidewall:

Yeah just looked at the pics and K Given accordingly for em :D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Sorry, Dave, perhaps you could try again tomorrow. If any passing constable objects, explain to him that you are talking to space aliens who are currently inhabiting a disused fire extinguisher. Please let us know what happens.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I think the trolleys are attracted to the container and maybe its incumbents i assume there maybe some kind of magnetic field within the container/canal to which metallic objects are drawn if this is so this would support my insistence that the trolleys are not in the canal accidentally .

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Thanks for that, I cant ride on buses, its the flies, they dont like me taking them on.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

If the said PC does not partake in accyweb, i think the men in the white coats would be taking him for a holiday in a padded room,or maybe the police are in league with the incumbents of the container and are aware of their plans.And support them, if it will help to suppress the masses.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Im up earlier tomorrow and going to my parents for breakfast before work. So-- Since the fire extinguisher seems to be spinning around and trying its best to break free, I am feeling the possibility of movement tomorrow. I shall be early on the scene in anticipation of such an event.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Good on you restless , tread lightly you never know what the little blighter's are up to.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

perhaps they are responsible for the path finally being made walkable

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Thats just daft it was probably the council:rolleyes::D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

yeah the clue was in the finally part :D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I personally, though this is none of my business, don't think that Hyndburn International Borough Council will want to get involved ... let's face it, they had enough static about the Kashmir thingy. If they were seen to be moving from Inter-national, to Inter-galactic issues, then the fecal matter would certainly hit the swiftly rotating object ... big time. Many AccyWebbers would express super-nova-like outrage.

Seems like things are coming to a head. Not surprisingly, Clayton seems to have become a galactic focal point. I've always believed that Clayton is the heart of the universe (Burnley, on the other hand, is another part of the human anatomy). I also think it is significant that the cut is the boundary between the top end, and the bottom end.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I must say that most of the towpath which runs from church to Burnley is now in pretty good nick there are one or two crappy bits going towards Rishton , but Blackburn have got their act together maybe you are right i have seen the extinguishers in all the places where towpath improvements have taken place. Just as a bit of fun when i was working near nelson once LCC had closed part of the towpath to work on one of their bridges the sign on the TOWpath said TOEpath closed and it was a proper triangular metal road sign not hand written:D:D

I think you may have just arrived at the answer to the lack of progress the extinguisher is making, it is full of buerocrats arguing about the spelling of tow/toe paths, until they can settle this the pilot of this device isn't able to move in either direction before they change their minds and do a complete U turn, or is that a you turn?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I hadnt thought of it in the context of the containers lack of movement/progress to its indeterminable destination but now you have mentioned it , its so obvious.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Family:- Shuvalongacus Domesticus Sub division:- Braticus Agravatius (pram)

Family:- Shuvalongacus Retailus Sub division:- Bogofficus multiplus (free trolly)

Family:- Shuvalongacus Abandendius, both types (bigdeepsplashius) the deep water breed & its cousin (marginuscloggius) shallow water/margins bear many of the same attributes & traits. Readily found in various bodies of water & quite commonplace, migratory patterns are irrelevant as they can be found all year round throughout the British Isles.

As to it's rarer cousin, the "Pram", while less seldom observed again there appears to be no migratory pattern & can also be found the whole year through within the British Isles.

Prof. B.Loxs - Master in I.D.K.S. - N.R.I.D.K.S. - I.R.A.T.B.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

See John i told you they were related thanks Dave.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Not a problem WM 221, just lucky I was reading Prof. B.Loxs thesis at this present time. What a strange coincidence that is eh ? :D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Did the good doctor Loxs happen to mention the phallus coverus, a translucent creature often seen floating in urban waterways (and sometimes in the gutters and in night club parking lots)? I do believe that they may have something to do with the interaction of the adolescentis hornius, and the slutus inebriatus. I have occasionally seen them hung up on shopping carts. Perhaps they have some kind of symbiotic relationship with the aliens.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

I'm beginning to wonder if these aliens are another of them "Conspiracy Theories"?:hehetable

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Nah - too mundane ;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

In the particular notes I've been perusing, no. But that is not to say the good Professor hasn't documented such subjects elsewhere, in fact I think I may have seen some of his works in the past. I believe an essay published in the late 90's covers such topics & documents their effects on society in general "Saturday night & sheetfaced! I think this most consequential tome was titled. I shall check my library & confer relevant quotes to the viewers as time permits.

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

No doubt the cop will send for the men in white coats Wyn;)

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

No Dave saying it could be the councils daft:D

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

Despite my lurking around the canal, I cannot report any progress, well with regard to the extinguisher. I have however been fitted with a tag for lurking without a license.

Is being given a tag, alky slang for having received a plastic bottle full of second hand cider?

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

No, it means I have to be in bed by ten o'clock with a policeman

Re: Alcohol/Canal
 

PoliceMAN:eek::eek:

Could be worse could be policeMEN:D

If you'd just like to have a little lay down on the couch ?

And what is it exactly that appeals ? The uniform ? Truncheon ? When did you first become aware of your fixation on Plod ?
