Pet fish spend cash and expose Nintendo Switch owner's credit card during Pokemon live stream

The latest Pokemon games have been criticised for being buggy, and they lived up to that reputation by crashing during an experiment with fish. It meant that as the fish carried on entering commands via their owner's unique streaming setup, they eventually made it into the console's store.

Clearly the fish aren't interested in Pokémon, they were plotting to leak their owner's card details to their mates to spend on... whatever fish buy in the Amazon.

I have seen these in Bristol city centre, they seem a sensible idea but very sad to hear that a man has died because of one

They were initially trialed in Bristol "City centre" (even though it's nowhere near the centre as we both know) and I remember seeing the story on Points West and thought nothing of it at the time. Until I found myself using one only months later as a young hoodlum. Strange experience because there was a riot van parked up with coppers walking around being friendly as a bunch of idiots ****** out of their heads answered the call of nature in public. I even saw someone vomit in one. Charming lady she seemed.

I had no idea these things had been rolled out elsewhere in the country? Or if they're even still there in Bristol (near the Hippodrome at the bottom of Park Street if my memory serves me right?). That area has been remodeled more times than Katie Prices boobs.

Sounds like a nasty accident. Poor guy. I'd be interesting to know how this could have happened as surely this kind of thing would be built into the design?

Lovely recollections there, thanks @Matt.GC 😉

I remember seeing them around college green, did a bit of a double take the first time, like 'I'm sure that wasn't there this morning...'. Tbh they are pretty unsightly so the urination problem would have to be pretty bad for the council to consider installing one. I wonder if this incident will signal the end of them?
 
If it had a seventy limit it means fast dual carriageway.
No ****** motorways in east angular, need one to replace the horror that is the A47.
