If he never emerged from the depths...he must have found himself too short of air to reach the surface
When we are under water I think we do naturally rise...I think If he passes out he is dead...unless someone reaches him quickly |

Talking of water but going off the point .
This reminds me of when I took ballet lessons and wanted a career in ballet I auditiond for a leading part in the swan lake(the part of the black swan ) I took the part very seriously I learnt how to paddle my feet in the Manchester ship. Canal . I was very disappointed when I didn't get thec part they said my neck wasn't long enough |

Everbeenkissin yes I'm fine thank you .
Don't worry if it's raining you can buy a cheap umbrella off one of the many African street sellers who parade up and down market street.you can even haggle the price it won't get you very far but it help to think yourin Morroco.the only thing we've not got yet is snake charmers .but we've got everything else that the rough parts of Morocco have to offer . If I was you I would put your bets on before you come to Manchester as there's no room in the bookies in Manchester are full of Africans and you can't get a seat . But you can get what drug you want at a reasonable .don't visit the Paddie powerrs in the center of Manchester .you will never get on the machines as the Africans leave their coats on the seats like the Germans leave their towels on the sunbeds |
|
By:
There's African women out side the toilets in many of the bookies who sells you three sheets of toilet paper for 50p .and if you can wait until Sunday you can get their special offer 4 sheets for 50p

Don't buy the roses off the Rumanian women who sell them on the streets .there not proper ones there fake ones from Bombay .
Yes I know Rumanian women don't come from Bombay .but there's a gang of Rumanian smuggerlers who have a contact in Bombay and he gets them brought into the country |
|
By:
There's more profit in rose selling these days .than there is in selling drugs .too many dealers in Manchester the council should put a limit on the number allowed .just like OPEC put a quota of oil sold so the market doesn't have overheat and the prices fall further

It's affecting lots of parts of Manchester the cheap prices of drugs .ive known many drug dealers who's worked happeelee for years in Manchester selling drugs who are leaving areas where they once could buy brand new BMW's for the whole family because they can't make a decent living
I knew this would happen as soon as they opened up the borders . Its ok for those with plenty of money they can buy a cheap pet elephant off these African street sellers but what about these drug dealers who are on their last case of cocaine who can't afford a holiday in Blackpool never mind visiting jamaica to see the family |

I said to one African did you come here by sea .he said no his dad's a people smuggler and he flew business class .business has never been better he said

By:
One African was selling pkts of cheap cigarettes at a bus stop shelter .I said to him what are you going to do with all the money you make ,have a nice holiday back home
He said no I'm going to invest it in the business .I hope one day to have a chain of bus stops where fellow Africans can sell cheap ciggaretts |
|
By:
I said arnt you worried you will get lung cancer (as he was smoking while talking to me)
he said no he had already got aids from his girl friend I said why do you want a chain of bus stops if your going to die .he said he had 27 children and 5 wives back at home and he wanted to look after their future . He said he wasn't like the English who were selfish and cared about them selves more than they cared about their family He said us whites supremacists don't realise how hard it is to get a job in McDonald's ,Costa coffee and KFC etc when you've got aids He said people who smoke arnt bothered who they buy cheap cigarettes off so long as their cheap |

I like telling stories of when I was a child like the one I mentioned before .
I used. To go to the pictures every sat afternoon to watch Hopalong Cassidy and flash Gordon etc .the first in the que got a free ticket to the cinema day out at Blackpool I was always 2nd .the same lad was always first and gave his other tickets to his family and friends there was other ways of getting a free ticket one was by collecting suffer paper for the guide dog charity . I thought I'm clever the completion is for a month I'll wait untill the very last week until I take mine in .one of my mams friend worked at the hospital and saved me all the milk bottle tops and other silver paper that was available .I saw each week the children go up on the stage and the audience decided who had got the most silver paper and got a free ticket .but I knew best I was. Waiting for the last week . I got all my silver paper and squashed it all up so that I could fit it into two carrier bags it was very heavy I got on the stage and had easily the most until right at the end a lad got on the stage with a suitcase and all the children cheered when he opened it .there was no where as much as I had I could of filled 50 suitcases if I had not squashed it all up like he did The man asked the audience to clap for the one who had the most and they voted for him From that day on I was always a loser .I had the most and I played to the rules in musical chairs and never won a prize I saw the coach leave the cinema for Blackpool as I was first in the que .as everyone else was on the coach .I really wanted to go on that trip .they all waved to me but I pretended I hadn't seen them |
|
By:
You got a free ticket for the cinema if you went on the stage and told them it was your birthday .
I was unlucky with that I only got one ticket a year .some children had seven and eight birthdays a year they all had at least two but I only had one birthday a year |
|
By:
I was also unlucky with flash Gordon .I missed the final episode as I got alot of cardboard stuck up my nose when I ripped my ice cream tub up into little pieces to see if I could get all the pieces up .I had to go to hospital .even though my friend said flash Gordon was killed by emperor Ming I never believed him and I found out the truth when you tube came along .he got his just desert a shark ate him when he emigrated to Australia

It was magic going to the cinema on a sat afternoon with all the corner kids .I loved the layered red curtain opening and the beautiful colours of the cinema .and unlined the lady who sold the tickets .she worked there for years .it's gone now with all my childhood and youthfull memories ..
The fun didn't end there the cinema was at the back of my house .we used to play on the stack of coke that they used to heat the cinema.i wore short trousers and had many a cut on my legs when my friend Zorro used to kill me .even though I was robin hood he always won |

The open market with wooden stalls was also next to the market you could run across them and play pirates .I didn't like it when long John silver made me walk the plank though .or when there was a storm At sea because I always got very wet

By:
They never let me be captain of the pirate ship .they said I was too much of a mummy's boy to be. A scary pirate Captain
|
|
By:
Even when I got my mam to draw a tatoo anchor on my arm they said I couldn't be the scary pirate Captain
They said I looked more like Popeye the sailor man than blubeard They said all the other pirate boats would laff at us if they seen me driving the pirate ship |
|
By:
They. Wouldn't let me in sat afternoons when I reached 34 .a mother complained when her son came home with ice creamtub card board up his nose .they said I had something to do with it .

The last time I was in Manchester I was on Canal St, there was a canoe with 3 Africans in the canal. They were waiting for gays to be thrown in, they saved them and expected a reward, if not they took their phones and wallets. Picadilly Gardens is a dreadful place full of spice zombies and ethnics.
