Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 14th June, 2024)

Forgive me but it looks just like any other canal boat.

Wife says it looks like a alligator.

Thats a good one Mick !

Mick, At first I was looking for one of those children’s blow up toys in the water, then my eyes popped out!
Who needs a guard dog when you have one of those on your lawn.
Love it.

I'll see it in a while

Google it, you will find the difference between the two.
However, if I was swimming past I don’t think I would stop to say ‘Excuse me, I know that this might be a silly question but before you rip my leg off, are you a Crocodile or an Alligator?’.

Oh my word! I thought I was seeing things then!

I missed that Mick Wednesday,joined the canal at the bottom of Parbold Hill headed for Wigan where abouts is the croc,by the way anyone fancy paddling a canoe through Standhedge Tunnel before it’s booked up during June and July 3.5 miles give me a shout I’ll do the paddling if you’re unsure about being unable to.

Forgot to mention £100 for two or £55 single all money going to help maintain canals and only one way journey.

That’s Global Warming for you.
I was sat in bed the other morning enjoying a nice cup of tea when a Giraffe walked past the window.
You don’t see many of them in Standish, must have come from Lower Ince.

It’s defending the flag..for what it’s worth.

I don't think it's real . I bet it's a model .

i hope tha sent fot vet

A Floridian tycoon was holding a party for his male employees at Parbold, he says "any man that swims across my pool that's full of Alligators can choose to have a place on the company board or the hand of my beautiful daughter". They suddenly hear frantic splashing coming from the pool and a young man going hell for leather then climbs exhausted from the other end of the pool. Everyone is applauding whilst the tycoon stands aghast, then says "well young man, do you want a place on the company board or the hand of my beautiful daughter"
"Neither" replies the young man, "just give me the name of the *&%@??@!* who pushed me into the pool".

He's a detective for The Canal & River Trust and looks into canal crimes, because Ali is an Investigator.
Ali also reads maps and directs the boats as he's also a Navigator.

Where I lie upon this boat ,
is what I see , as I melt and float
disguise just dies as I float in dreams
drunk on clouds in whatever themes
For I am gone to the sky above
the anger clouds , and the blue we love ,
question , doubt just floats away ,
who I am , for another day .,

That is what happens when the 'Climate Changes' and t'Canal warms up.
