Near fatal flag incident

[greengoose21b]

Dangerous things all these flags. It must have been very scary for the old gentleman.

Dad and son 'could have died' when flag fell from city building www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/dad-son-could-died-after-27504939?utm_source=app

Surely you wouldn’t want to be hit by a wooden flag pole falling from 50 foot up?

Why is this relevant to FWR?

The flags are revolting. He's being a little dramatic though in comparison to the older gentleman.

Looking at the picture, I'm assuming it is a progress flag.

And yes, he's being very dramatic indeed.

It could have been any flag though. A poorly maintained flagpole has nothing to do with gender issues.

Exactly. I do agree this sort of thing needs properly maintaining. Bit of a reach to make this about sex or gender!

I know that. I just found it quite amusing (obviously wouldn't have done if anyone had genuinely been hurt).

We are constantly hearing about the literal violence of stickers...maybe I just have a warped sense of humour.

Um.. on reading the article, you've completely lost me.What does this have to do with this board? Things falling on people are not good
Self edit - just looked at comments after my slow typing, so it's a seriously tenuous link between wahh scary stickers and look; this is actual scary? A flag/scaffolding/roof tile take your pick? 😕😁

Yeah this.

Ohhh I get it now. A sort of tongue in cheek irony. It'll be lost on some people here though.

You moan about stickers but you're trying to kill us with LITERAL flags

I don't know why I love this sentence, but I do.

A poorly maintained flagpole has nothing to do with gender issues.

This is so apt 😂

I can't sleep and now I'm really laughing at this thread.

Imagine hundreds of head-clunking flagpoles up there as the council pledges allegiance to every gender iteration. New genders added every week!
