If Junji Ito drew the gates to hell, this is what I'd expect it to look
Not even xenomorphs would create something as gross as that
[QUOTE=James xX;42156371]Adding chlorine and a strong ultraviolet light would also help, and make it soluble in water.[/QUOTE] Yes, but then you have chlorine in your runoff water.
[QUOTE=Antlerp;42155073]still amazes me that these sewers are ancient Victorian tech, they still do the job, but surely they can no longer be working optimally after a century[/QUOTE] In many places we're still using ancient roman sewers, granted they received upgrades in the time being. Some are 2900 years old.
[QUOTE=_Kent_;42156466]Yes, but then you have chlorine in your runoff water.[/QUOTE] That's just a minor inconvenience. You could equally add sodium after to turn it into salt, which also dissolves in water. Why the disagree ratings? Na (s) + 1/2CL2 (g) -> NaCl(s)
Can't they just throw some White Phosphorus down there and call it a day? Or will that make it angrier?
they call it the raid boss of kingston london road
Install flamethrowers to melt and burn these
Amanda Todd that shit
[QUOTE=Terminutter;42155065]Imagine being a hazmat diver and having to take a look at that...[/QUOTE] I would probably throw up in my hazmat suit and throw up again and again because of the puke and the cycle will never end.
[QUOTE=Moustacheman;42156313]I said it once, I'll say it again. Burn it before the gene stealers form.[/QUOTE]maybe it's a huge mass of growing orkoid fungi burn it before London gets a breed of green 6 ft tall chavs all chanting 'ERE WE GO as they smash the Buckingham Palace to bits

Isnt there some sort of animal/microbe that eats fat?
[QUOTE=Sprockethead;42157700]Isnt there some sort of animal/microbe that eats fat?[/QUOTE] AFAIK a byproduct of such microbes is explosive gas. You don't want more than there already is of that in a sewer.
Quick! Everyone pour red wine down the drain!

Shovels? At this point wouldn't it be easier to just dig up the pipeline?
[QUOTE=Joazzz;42156886]maybe it's a huge mass of growing orkoid fungi burn it before London gets a breed of green 6 ft tall chavs all chanting 'ERE WE GO as they smash the Buckingham Palace to bits[/QUOTE] They'll fit right into London society.
i thought this article was going to be about ann widdecombe
yeah they may as well just remove the pipe and switch it out for a new one but the problem is the fact that it's so heavy, and inconvenient to dig it up and move it
[QUOTE=Jojje;42158885]yeah they may as well just remove the pipe and switch it out for a new one but the problem is the fact that it's so heavy, and inconvenient to dig it up and move it[/QUOTE] AFAIK that particular pipe is actually brick&mortar. It's THAT old. so you can't dig it up without ruining it completely.
Couldn't you just go down there with a couple of torches and crisp that shit?
There's a reason they call London "The Big Stink"

i don't know my sciences or anything but don't lipids store energy can't we harvest it or something
[QUOTE=Terminutter;42155123]Our sewers are pretty capable of dealing with wetwipes, the biggest issue is people pouring various lipids down the sink after cooking. Take a look at a grill pan or fat holding tray thing of a grill, and imagine a load of people doing it. It's all insoluble in water, it solidifies once it's cooled down (in the sewers) and then in peak times it gets stuck on the roof, which narrows the sewers and creates the block. Kind of like atherosclerosis with sewers. Oh yeah, wetwipes, tampons and so on [I]can[/I] become a problem, but that's basically once the block is started and the sewer narrows. (which is due to the fats)[/QUOTE] It's why it's reocmmended you pour the cooled oils into a bottle and throwing that out instead.
