Just saw a dolphin in the river!

Poor thing. They usually die when they get this far upstream

Exactly. That's why the Mersey ferry is an integral part of their folklore.

All together now "Life goes on day after day, hearts torn in every way"

It's probably one of those giant rats going for a swim.

Does that count as a marine mammal?

I just saw a cat in my kitchen. Oh, hold on, that's my cat.
In the last two months though I have had a fox, a squirrel, a pigeon and several other cats come in through the open window. Not all at the same time, obviously.

But they all wear sporty tracksuits. are they not all athletes.

Their bodies can't cope with being clean. poor scousers!

Cheeky cockney twat!

you can't swim with a pint in one hand and a gun/knife in the other, silly!

Standard uniform.

speaking of marine mammals, i am in the florida keys right now, and today i saw a manatee in the bay!! (as i set off upon a deep sea fishing expedition!) i had always sort of felt like manatees were the stuff of legend... not so, this one was quite real and floppy! but then again, it is florida, not london. i'd definitely be more surprised to look off the bridge and see an actual dolphin (or porpoise, whatever) in the thames!!

Manatees are cool, would love to see one in the flesh so to speak.

have endured a couple of days at work in a big office, all of which has one side that looks out onto the the river being known as the fantasist "dolphin spotter" including faux phone messages from bill oddie etc.

was vindicated somewhat on friday with an email from someone at the the "zoological society of london" thanking me for the information on my sighting. it wasn't really helped by the fact that the email was obviously worded as if they were adressing a nine year old "you must have been VERY excited! i'm sure he or she was excited to see you too!" etc.

i'm afraid i couldn't help replying imediately with the "MY FREIND PAUL SAW IT TOO!"

i like to think they're re-calibrating their data in the light of that new information right now.

Judging by your spelling I imagine they thought you were a nine year old.

was a bit pissed when i wrote that hence the fat fingers but thanks a lot for your invaluable contribution. really cheered me up this morning.

really? that is hilarious.

It will be dead by the end of the day. We get seals and dolphins that come up the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn once in a while and they always croak within the day from the polution. F'in awful.
