Suicidal teddy?

[123everton]

Driving down the road at 20 M.P.H all 40 foot and 11 or so tons of me, I saw a lost(?) discarded teddy bear in the middle of the carriageway. Rather than drive over it I drove around it, is that a weird thing to do?

[Theland]

Was it wearing an Everton shirt?

[Birchi-Bum]

No 123everton
I guess what you did was a nomal humane reaction to the situation in hand.
Now had it been wearing a 'Reds' football shirt after their abysmal last performance against Luton Town Sunday afternoon, you'd have been quite justified running over it, believe me!!

Go back ans squwish it you wimp, call youself a man? If you don't then your mate will be forever taking the p1ss and calling you Doris

[123everton]

Ah 4gs, all heart. I'll go and eat some raw meat and kick a tramp. ;-)
It almost certainly was an Evertonian teddy as it lives(d?) here

I would probably have stopped and got out to rescue it and I would worry all day about the little person who had lost their teddy - I am a total softie for that kind of thing.

[123everton]

Aww!!! Yingyang you might get reported for teddy napping!!
Teddy snatcher! He(!?) was all filthy and dirty face down in the grime, all lost alone and unloved and neglected. :-(

[yinyang]

Stop - you'll have me in tears!
I know how gutted my girl would be if she lost her favourite pup but I wonder how a teddy ended up in the road?
It's like if you drive down any motorway for long enough you will nearly always see a single trainer on the hard shoulder - why? Are there lots of drivers going about with one bare foot?

[minnieme]

he was probably one of the cuddly toys the bin men collect and attach to the front of their trucks. he'd escaped, but you really wouldn't hav wanted to take him home, Would you?

[4GS]

The one trainer is usually the result of an RTA, for some strange reason when there is a traffic accident the victims shoes come off. I saw an old lady get hit by a taxi once, she got thrown into a petrol station, her shoes remained under the taxi's bumper

[yinyang]

Depends how it looked and how busy the roads were.
I would take it home and wash it then put a post on here asking if anybody had lost a teddy. I really do need to get out more. : (

[yinyang]

Oh, Gawd - thanks for that 4GS. Now I'll worry every time i see the single trainer - was it a bad accident, is everybody ok...? The teddy was bad enough, this is much worse!

[bigmamma]

It wasn't one of those off the advert that run along saying
" Come on " was it ?

[123everton]

I would'nt worry about the single trainer scenario all it means is that Heather mills McCartney has been visiting someone nearby!

[123everton]

No it was an old fashioned steiff type bear, he might have run away from an uncaring home. He's probably been sold into prostitution now, you'll see him on Holt Road waggling his dickie (bow) because he's taken to main lining honey to numb the pain!
Oh the humanity! If only I'd stopped and saved poor teddy Edward an existence of misery could have been avoided.
Quick everyone get down to Derby Lane junction of Queens Drive before it's too late!

123everton................he's probably been there since 5.30 PM on Saturday evening.

Either he had ordered a Chicken Chow Mein from the Blue Lagoon chippie that caught fire before the match or he had been to Goodison Park to witness a magnificent display by the boys in tangerine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHIN UP AND GOOD LUCK IN TONIGHTS SEMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheeky minx! Well done Oldham that's the cup, the sh1te have'nt said anything yet cos they have'nt beat Luton, come on you hatters.
It's sad though, I can remember when you had a really good team with Andy Goram in goal, did'nt Dennis Irwin play for you an all?

[laticsfan]

123everton...you make it sound like we don't have a good team now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our heyday of course was during the early 90s when we had the plastic pitch and once again beat Everton on the FA Cup after two replays. We got to the semi that year but lost to Manure and also made the final of the Liitlewoods Cup - all as a 2nd div team. We got promoted the year after, and stayed in the top flight for three years.
After that, it was downhill all the way.

Ooooooooooooooooh happy days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
