Right..taking this with a pinch of salt but,,a guy in work just told me an amusing story about the people of Hull...he said that there was once a ship wrecked on the coast close to Hull (dates ???) ...it's said that all inboard were killed apart from an orangutan that was captured as it swam to shore where it was promptly shaved,put in a suit and tried for causing the ship to crash,,found guilty and hanged...HAHAHAHA....what's that all about...my m8 ain't winding me up either....anyone heard this before ??????
'Old folks, young folks, every one and each Come and see the Frenchie that's landed on the beach He's great long arms and great long tail, he's covered all in hair We think that he's a spy so we'll hang him in the square '
reached for the secret too soon, cried for the moon.
[quote="Baz"]It was hung for being a French spy around the Napoleonic period so the story goes. [/quote]
That's the way I heard it. Then something like, they had to show the folk of Hartlepool that they'd caught someone so they hung a monkey???? Sick fuckers!
Apparently they haven't changed all that much over the last 300 years. I mean OK they don't still hang the fuckers but they now vote them in as Mayor of the town FFS.
You're all very negative towards the good people of Hartlepool. I would like to point out that it was a FRENCH monkey, and therefore I think we did ourselves proud
what the fuck next !!! bloody thought this was going to be a thread about a new type of fooooooookin coat hanger lol oh well let you all talk about fookin orangatangs
