Whale Vomit

[exilecanada]

When I first read the post title I thought it was a review of England’s……cough, cough, choke, choke…..’performance’ in yesterdays World Cup qualifier.

I had absolutely no idea whale vomit was a precious commodity, found on the beach in Morecambe, no less. Oy vey, who knew?


Is the Morecambe and Wise statue still there? It was the last time I visited 4 years ago.

I will piss myself if they tell 59-60 that its not whale vomit but whale s#@t

No, I don't suppose many people know the full details about whale vomit.

I agree, Englands performance was vomitesque, but not whale vomitesque.

Yes, Eric is still here but he is on his own. He was born here.
Ern (the one with the short fat hairy legs) has never had a statue here.

My apologies, you’re obviously correct, it is a statue of Eric solo, the memory is failing me I guess. Last time I was over an old pal of mine, living in Lancaster, took me on a day tour of the old haunts. Lake District (drunk and disorderly at Queens Head in Troutbeck back in the day), Blackpool, Southport and Morecambe.

Good memories.

And straight across Morecambe bay you have the statues of the most famous comedians the world has known ..?

Laurel and Hardy!

[1959_60]

Yes!

Earlier this year they brought the Laurel and Hardie statue across from Ulveston and placed it next to Eric on Morecambe prom.

I don't know what the occasion was though.

Yes, Stan Laurel was born right opposite Eric Morecambes birthplace,straight across the bay.

Thora Hird was born in Morecambe as well.

Albert Modley "Wait till I get my cart right Mr Cartwright" and "Eeh! I could eat a meat pie" adopted Morecambe as his home but was born in (cough) Yarkshire.

Yes, I am!

We get a lot of it here in Bolton. The Whale family are always gathered outside Wetherspoons inebriated and having a fag.

Come closing time the Whale family accumulated vomit in the road stinks to high heaven.

On a more serious note, bag it and nip it home and wait for clarification.

BT. There were some photos of the family in last weeks Bolton Evening News under the story title “Prints of Whales”. Near enough made me sick.

drunk and disorderly at Queens Head in Troutbeck

Thank you, you have brought back many happy memories, I used to go camping in a field nearby to the Queens Head pub.
Is it still open as a pub ?

It was the last time I was there, although my pal and I were the only customers in the place when the picture was taken, early afternoon, camera was still on Ontario time.

Yup…….. it was raining.

It wouldn’t surprise me if you camped in the same field as us lot back in the day, about a 20 minute walk down the hill, opposite the pub?
