skinnydipper Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Is it just coincidence that in the comments section under the story about the large middle aged man dropping his trousers in front of young children there is a "Report Abuse" link ? Methinks that the mayoral entertainment budget should pay for the long term trauma counselling that these children will require.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 I think the kids will have been just fine once they'd changed their clothes after pissing themselves laughing
Zingari Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Ultra should be congratulated on brightening up what would have been a very depressing week
Jon the Hat Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 This simply adds to my belief that idiot councillors get made Lord Mayor so they cannot actually mess up anything important.
Babylon Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Nice one Colin... making most of the nationals today, with a fantastic half page spread in the sun.

breadandcheese Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Well he's certainly increased the profile of this job. Brilliant.
Zingari Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Well he's certainly increased the profile of this job. Brilliant. from the limerick contest site “In our meetings”, said Councillor Hall “There is no place for prayer at all”. “Is that so?” said the Lord, “Well I won’t be ignored!” As he caused the man’s trousers to fall. http://www.annaraccoon.com/politics/not-in-front-of-the-children-limerick-contest/
Jon the Hat Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 2nd most read on the BBC news site. Classic stuff Colin. Fame at last. On the other hand, it will be old news tomorrow so don't go and get suicidal or anything.
Nationwider Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Stumbled upon this on the BBC 'most read' pages. If there's a more surreal story this year, I look forward to reading it.
MC Prussian Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Reply on the Independent website: That has so nearly happened to me, but never, fortunately, in such a public arena.Much more likely to happen, too, when you hit the age, and if you reach the stage, when you've become, by degrees and entirely without intent, pear-shaped. Which is the case with quite a number of local councillors that I've known!
Ford Super Sunday Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 I was looking on Twitter for 'Colin Hall' and stumbled across this tweet... 好糗！ 英市長演講褲子滑落 台下師生瞠目結舌: 〔國際中心╱綜合報導〕英國萊斯特市（Leicester）市長霍爾（Colin Hall）日前在一次演講中出現尷尬情景：他的長褲竟不慎從腰間滑落，令在場觀眾、包括眾多老師、學生又尷尬又好笑。 http://bit.ly/bEux7r News Travels Far and wide
Lillehamring Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 how the hell do trousers just accidently fall down, surely if one feels one trousers descending, it is easy enough to quickly grab them?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 This simply adds to my belief that idiot councillors get made Lord Mayor so they cannot actually mess up anything important. Indeed. Years back Colin Grundy was Lord Mayor. This was the same Colin Grundy who was my chemistry teacher at Alderman Newtons School - who kept a still going in the lab and would give 14 year olds more or less pure alcohol so the rest of us could laugh at the effects.

Colin Grundy was my chemistry teacher too , back in the 60s , but he must have got more generous as he got older cuz he never gave me any alcohol
Trav Le Bleu Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Colin Grundy was my chemistry teacher too , back in the 60s , but he must have got more generous as he got older cuz he never gave me any alcohol Stink bombs? Fire crackers? These were more of the pranks he pull - wonder if he tried any of those in Town Hall?
BigGibbo Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 This story brightened up my day yesterday. I messaged him my joy on Twitter, before I realised he was actually Ultra Fox off of here.
davieG Posted 1 July 2010 Author Posted 1 July 2010 This story brightened up my day yesterday. I messaged him my joy on Twitter, before I realised he was actually Ultra Fox off of here. Just Ultra not ultraafox
BigGibbo Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Just Ultra not ultraafox Ah, cheers DG, my bad. Can't say I remember there being two Ultra's.
Daggers Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Ultra Fox is his twit identity. And Trav - I currently have a vat of cider fermenting away in the corner of my lab, made by the fair hands of 14yr olds - but I'm fvcked if I'm feeding any of it to them.
Jay Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 This story is hilarious!! the sort of thing you will never ever ever get over! I thought this sort of thing only ever happened in carry on films Whatever he does as Mayor he is always going to be remembered as the Mayor whos trouser fell down infront of a load of kids pure comedy gold
Salieri Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Whatever he does as Mayor he is always going to be remembered as the Mayor whos trouser fell down infront of a load of kids :thumbsup: I do hope it doesn't discourage him from posting on here again through fear of ridicule. What happened to him could have happened to anyone, easy mistake to make.
StanSP Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Read about the blunder. Remembered he posts on here. Laughed a little.
Unabomber Posted 1 July 2010 Posted 1 July 2010 Hillarious. Seriously of all the things to happen to a new mayor, his bloody trousers fall down infront of a group of children.
