Prince of Whales

Fantastic.

Who said tourism was down? It's just diversifying, is all!

Pilot whale seen swimming past Houses of Parliament.

Unfortunately the Thames is just too far away for me to nip down and have a look at lunchtime...

The BBC website has live footage of it at the moment. It is, indeed, a whale.

Increased tourism? Presumably by tonnage.

They'll probably end up shooting it for not having a passport.

The poor thing is probably going to die anyway, luckily it wasn't a whole gang of em.
Reminds me of a 2000AD story featuring judge Anderson and the last Whale in the ocean. /nerd off

I hope not; yesterday when it looke as all they had to do was lure it back out to sea, it was rather amusing. Today it's not. I haven't checked the news yet, I rather hope the sling works and they can get it back oput to sea safely.

Some folks think that when a whale goes wildly off course its ill in some way. They get very distressed and generally continue to beach themselves/ go the wrong way until they expire poor things. Sometimes its whole groups what are they called pods or summink?
