*Repugnant mass of congealed rotting fat and other sickening waste found

*Sewage workers have never seen the likes of the mass - as big as a bus

*It could have sent sewage surging onto the streets of south London

A lump of fat the size of a double decker bus has been discovered clogging a London sewer.
The Fatberg, described as 15 tonnes of festering food mixed with wet wipes and a host of other disgusting ephemera, was found blocking pipes under Kingston in south London.

I had no idea Michael Moore was missing.

OTOH, The comment, "The blockage was so critical it threatened to blast untreated sewage..." may explain a great many of his statements.

Is that real or a euphemism for their Parliament?

Who’d have known that Obama’s group had visited London?

[SERKIT]

We have the same thing in America. We call it “The Senate”.

Oh my goodness! This thread is going to be epic....

It makes you wonder what the hell the public works guys do all day when they’re not inspecting the sewers for years and years on end.

They said there was only 5% capacity remaining due to the blockage, where the hell were they when there was 50% capacity remaining?

Probably sitting on their duffs waiting for retirement.

Up side, I’m sure somebody from ganggreen can use it to fuel their vehicle. Hell of a grease trap. Some people never learn that you NEVER pour bacon grease down the drain. Use it for some red beans and rice.

[P.O.E.]

When life gives you Fatberg, you make Fatbergers.

Where's Mike Rowe when you need him...

I wonder if the people that found it were stuned by the sight.

... Buckle up folks, this could get interesting.

Heck with that...bacon grease should be saved by all Americans and delivered to a central facility for military applications.

Did someone liposection Michelle and flush it?

I think someone is making bacon soaked .223/5.56 available for use.

Reminds me of the poop monster coming out of the toilet in Dogma ...

[ibytoohi]

I believe we have found the definitive description of the Obama administration.

All in favor vote "Aye."
