QuoteExperts are trying to establish why a large expanse of foam has appeared on the River Clyde in Glasgow.  The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said it had received a number of calls.

No wonder they called in experts.  Not only soap, but a "large expanse" of it.  The mind truly boggles.

No firm alibi established for P3nt. Allegations due at 11.

One problem with the soap theory - its the clyde. There's no detergent strong enough to survive in there. We've had fucking oil slicks disappear without a trace.

With enough detergents any place can be made bubbly. Your second point is exactly opposite to what you think: Soap makes oil sink. I learned that trick working in a yacht harbour, if you spill diesel or something you can make it dissapear by spraying some dishwashing soap on the oil slick. Just don't ever touch the bottom of the harbour with bare skin.

Yeah I get what you're saying but what we have here is a body of liquid consisting of vitriol and wino piss. It will dissolve anything, detergent, oil, acid, alkali - you need to see a cow fall in there to really appreciate it  :lulz:

Hey now - it's not nice to refer to Glasgow's population in such terms.

True story - I've asked a Glaswegian to be my best man

On the plus side there is no form of humanity capable of orchestrating a greater level of apocalyptic mayhem and intoxication for the stag do.

On the minus side there is no form of humanity capable of orchestrating a greater level of apocalyptic mayhem and intoxication during the wedding proper.

At least 60% of us pass unnoticed in modern society.
