The Burnley Blimp

Aberdeen Shrimper

Did anyone here the news on Talk Sport this evening

It was about the Burnley Blimp......According to Wrighty Burnley have one of those advertising blimps...quite a big one and it was flying high last night over Turf Moore for the game until some kids thought it would be fun to cut the guy ropes.

The Blimp was last seen heading East......Quality story, check it out on Burnley’s OS

As funny as it is, I don't envy any pilots in the area. Night time, no lights and guy ropes hanging down is a recipe for disaster.
 
If only it were the Duff Beer Blimp that parachute's lots of bottles of Duff Beer out to thirsty punters below.

Duff Beer for me,
Duff Beer for you,
I'll have a Duff,
You have one too.

I would imaging being filled with helium that it will just float up and up and up until the air pressure and temperature will probably cause the blimp to burst falling harmlessly to earth, its probably somewhere in the North Sea by now
