    Man rescued from top of Belfast Wheel

    A man has been arrested after he climbed to the top of the big wheel in Belfast city centre and remained there for nearly three hours in a stand-off with negotiators.

    A number of firefighters had to climb up the 200ft wheel to rescue him.



    I wonder was it our auld friend Belfast Citizen suffering from serious attention deficit since his tenure here expired.

    haha funny it was not me , i do not attend any school at all

    first day of wimbledon was pretty descent , althought i thought Julien Bennetaeu deserved to win against Novak Djokovic (4th Seed) in the first round match today

    also Laura Robson (youngest ever person to play at the senior at the age of 15 Years and 5 Months (originally from Melborune , Australia) she plays under Britain and to be honest is a wonderful player

    It actually has literary similarities to Belfast Citizen, certainly exhibits the same deluded, attention-seeking traits.
