Not that Four Seasons: how ##### event ended up next to sex shop and crematorium

• #############mocked after news conference featuring Rudy Giuliani was held in landscaping firm car park instead of upscale hotel

What began five years ago with the made-for-television announcement of #####s presidential ambitions from the escalator of his ritzy Manhattan high-rise, ended Saturday with his ageing lawyer shouting conspiracy theories and vowing lawsuits in a northeast Philadelphia car park, near a sex shop and a crematorium.

“Lawyers News Conference- Four Seasons, Philadelphia, 11am,” only to delete his post minutes later and replace it with one changing the venue from the upscale Centre City hotel to a similarly named business: Four Seasons Total Landscaping on industrial State Road, next to Fantasy Island Adult Books and Novelties and across the street from the Delaware Valley Cremation Center.



Whoops

And another first for the US President!

Shiva is a Diver so I think a cool gent Navy at 15 for me. Catching chooks at 7 I think. Enjoyed that one as it was 3am in the morning. Back to Shiva's odd job

I think the green water Shiva is in reminds me of the River in Bangkok I dove in for a week trying to clear the screens on the water intakes on my ship Some times diving is dirty work.


For years, Shiva helped police find bodies in Hussain Sagar lake in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. And then one day, he stopped someone before they jumped, saving a life for the first time. BBC Telugu's Balla Satish reports.


Shiva, who uses only one name, says he was about 10 years old when he came across a group of policemen who were offering to pay anyone who would bring a body out of a nearby pond.

Geeeeeezuz James I hope she wasn't moored near that spot where they are lowering the dummy into the drink it would have been a miracle if you ever got any of the intakes clear.

I know I know that is not the harbour. Then again maybe the Harbour was as bad?

I've seen Bangkok harbour - not pretty.

I will not mention, as I do not want to remember, much of the stuff I cleared off the intake screens I would disagree a little Mick. While water was poor plus the life and excitement of floating markets and the cool river boats made that place a highlight and a must see. Whats under the water is best left to idiots like me perhaps. Worst ear infection I ever had despite 'over using' our 3 minute shower time limit post every dive which was hourly

See any crocs?
I remember when we were there the croc farm south of Bangkok flooded and 5000 crocs went over the fences and were popping up in the canals. People kept disappearing for months afterwards.

I could not see any thing Period I did remove a few dead items from the water intakes. I only knew what after I resurfaced.

PS any Divers? Arranging a dip on HMAS Hobart 2 March 2021 (perhaps)
