Lovely picture of seal!

In reply to Urgles:

How is this related to climbing. Ban it immediately!

In reply to Urgles:

I don't recall this, was it a case of UKC all clubbing together...



Gets fur coat..

In reply to Urgles:

No way is that a real photo of a real seal on some real rocks.

In reply to Urgles:

Looks like St Bees from the rock and as you say its a seal. Thanks

In reply to Urgles:

Aww cute.

In reply to Urgles:

Where are the Mods when you need them?

In reply to Urgles:

Who made the seal so sad? It looks about to blubber...

In reply to Lostsky:


Sandstone then. What's it done on grit?

In reply to Urgles:
I was sure this thread was going to be about photos of popular 90s musicians!

In reply to Samuel Wainwright:

hmm, he disappeared without trace, didnt he! one of those things that everyone goes wild about for a year then realises they were just bland backward looking crap

In reply to BusyLizzie:

hmm, not sure why that wasnt allowed as a climbing pic, from the pose and expression I would say that seals just done a good brimham top out!

In reply to Urgles:

SPLF?

He has a new album out and is on tour. Has had a very successful career.
I don't like his music BTW

In reply to aln:

I'd heard he went a little crazy

In reply to toad:

I'm sure he'll survive...

In reply to Urgles:

To the uninitiated, can someone please explain?

In reply to Simon4:

They're not wrong about left-wing types being the best comedians.

In reply to Urgles:

As Edunn says:
To the uninitiated, can someone please explain?

But while you are at it please can you confirm that this was a summer photo? If its summer then its a common seal (they pup in the spring). Grey seals are pupping about now. The seal pictured is losing its fur meaning that its weaned and probably left its mother. If it is St Bees (it looks like it to me) then its quite confusing as there are few common seal colonies in the Irish Sea. If its a winter picture then its more easily explained as it could be a Welsh, Manx or Solway coast seal. There is now a seal colony on Walney but there wasn't 10 years ago.

In reply to felt:


Yeah, but right-wingers are laughing all the way to the bank!

In reply to Lusk:

Really? I've generally found that the richer people are the more miserable.

In reply to edunn:

In the days pre-perestroika, wildlife photos were strictly verboten

In reply to toad:

Now that is cute.

In reply to toad:

I had to google most of that sentence, but thanks.

In reply to felt:

Not only right wing people like to get rich you know. I think it takes a person from a certain mould to be able to make a killing and live a balanced/happy life as well though, it can seem like most people get to do one or the other.

In reply to Timmd:


Yes, you're right, but he/she was talking about right-wing people laughing all the way to the bank. The same point could have been made apropos anyone laughing all the way to the bank.

In reply to felt:

True true.

In reply to Urgles:

Are you sure it's ten years? I left the UK ten years ago and it happened at least a year or two before that so I'm thinking more like 12 years now.

In reply to Dave C:

Yep defo...I took the pics on my trip Aug 2005
