Whale

Is it me or is anyone else following the whale story in the news. I hope it survives.

Yeah it is amazing how it got so far inland! Well upstream, you know what I mean. They should call it James after James Whale...

Here's hoping it lives poor thing.

Yeah, I hope the whale will survive and coming back in the North Sea. There are always breaking news here. It's interesting!

By the way, last week a dead whale was found ashore of the Baltic Sea in Germany. Green Peace drove this dead whale to Berlin to show it in front of the Japanese embassy. It was a kind of protest. So, this whale was the new attraction in Berlin for 2 days.

Sky News reports the whale dies!

It's awful...I probably sound silly saying this, but although i always kind of thought it was realistically almost impossible to get it out deep enough, i always hoped it would. it's really sad

Such a shame. We all became attached to that whale. Such a British thing to do. Poor thing...I bet it is really missed back home. Mind you he was probably slated as well for straying from his normal habitat. Or he was just so desparate to get on TV he paid the ultimate price. As the sun said..."Celebrity Big Blubber"

How'd it get there anyway?

They should have left the whale alone................. I hope they have learnt their lesson...

For some reason it basically went hundreds of miles off it's normal course and ended up in the river Thames...some people say it's was following a shoal of fish, and others think that it wasn't well so it deliberately went to shallower water (so it doesn't drown)....but i guess by doing that it means that the chances of it surviving anyway are really really slim.
