You could say he's having a Whale of a time!

 

[TdC]

cool, though...

He said if attempts to re-direct the whale downstream failed, it may be necessary to put it down to prevent from suffering further.

who says it's suffering?

 

[Whipped]

Well, at least if someone from the future needs to come back in time to get a Northen Bottlenosed Whale, they won't have to go to the open sea to get one

 

[Chilly]

most likely it will mangle itself on a propeller or get stuck in some tidal section somewhere and end up having to be shot and barbequed.

you try swimming in the Thames and you might find out!!

 

[Embattle]

He didn't do it on porpoise, aparantly there was a RMT strike and the whaleways were diverted.

The Thames has nowhere near enough fish to support a whale. It will starve quickly.

WAHEY!!!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Damn you Trem, I can't swim and I don't like fish.

 

[nath]

Aww

 

[Embattle]

Shame.

[Tom]

No-one up in't'North gives a shit about that Whale.

 

[Aoln]

Nor do a lot of us people down south to be honest.

 

[Gray]

Recall when a whale came up the River Mersey, that got quite a bit of coverage as well [Unsure about nationally though].

I think it got more coverage because of the simple fact that it got stranded... got saved, moved to safety and then come back again and got stuck..

About 3 times... Quite funny.

Cant remember what happened to it though.. might have a quick look now

/edit

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/147764.stm Wow... 1998... didnt know it was that long ago jeez... and while having a quick look around it seems we even had a Killer Whale in the Mersey in 2001, didnt even know about that one!

Shame it didnt live up to it's name, wheels everywhere would have been safe.
