....just spoted Dan Craven of the Team IG-Specialised road team asking for directions from one of my colleagues.... in a business park in Yate? He's either here for a reason.... or is REALLY lost!
I saw a brutal seagull fight out of my old office window once.
Airbus A380s taking off and landing. They're quite big.
Saw a golfer take down 2 guys legging it across the golf course with a massive flat screen TV being chased by a police car across the fairway...
I see buses.
Lots of buses.
A couple of years ago we saw two large Somali gangs having a fight. Three got stabbed, one in the head and two cars were trashed. Police response - one on a bicyle.
A cobbled stream:

nightmare to ride on....
Bradford
This is outside my office at the moment. I am waiting for the owner, so I can ask for a play!

I saw a lynx earlier. Well, two of them, actually.
This morning we have a harrier Jump Jet and a Boat.
We are not an airbase or anywhere near the sea or a river.
I see dead people
Always used to see Red Kites at previous office in Reading
used to see a row of these;
[img] 
[/img]
always disconerting when one lurched towards the window next to my desk - out the corner of your eye you'd always think they were coming in.
oh, and out the other side was this place;

most intersting bit there was someone unloading a consignment of new 911's and Cayennes who obviously had a bit of brake/acccelerator trouble and parked a brand new cayenne on the bonnet of one of the 911's. She was lead into the building sobbing.
Well, this didn't go the way I was expecting.... but I like it! 😉
My old office window overlooked the back of an undertakers & the upstairs enbalming rooms - not the greatest if vistas I have to admit 😕
My new office has a row of trees & the squirrels are quite amusing/funny 🙂
University admin staff standing around smoking, doing chuff all for hours on end and waiting for the catering van to come and fill them with pies. Again.
Oh, hang on this is the "things that you don't see every day out of your office window". My mistake.
Although at least I know where to find them next time they demand that I fill in some pointless piece of job creation/protection paperwork urgently so they can lose it under a pile of Gregs pasty wrappers for 8 weeks and then make me do it again because the date has lapsed........
Grass... being constantly mowed
Military helicopter landing on the Leeds Gen Infirmary just a moment ago, wierd as it doesnt happen often.
And I always find it fascinating watching the delivery of money to the Bank of England vault with armed police escort.
Overlook Victoria Harbour and the old airport, but the best part is seeing eagles fly around the buildings
Croydon.......which i still think is some kind of a social experiment, never known a place to have so many weirdos!
Even the riots couldn't make it interesting, although it was great to get sent home from work early during the riots as the Police tipped us off there was a group of youths in hoodies coming our way, only to later find out that they were foreign students.

Black Kites, surely?
Have recently moved to a new pew and the same bloke walks along the corridor min 50 times a day I shit you not.
In one direction he's carrying a bit of paper and gives it the old raised-eyebrow-smiley-face look but coming back he has no paper and looks worried.
I've seen the Police do a drugs raid on the same house twice.
A Police motorcyclist get killed as a lorry pulled in front of him as he was responding to a call.
Probably all of Sheffield's unmarked and marked Police fast response cars doing probably well over 100 mph one after another flying up the road.
Other than that nothing really exciting, apart form the occasional air rifle shooting out the windows of the office.
buses, its quite dull
at my last work from one of the offices you looked onto the nurses accomodataion for the royal brompton hospital
anyone seen gregorys girl?
From the Gherkin, we watched a small aircraft circling just west of (the Natwest) Tower 42. Level with us on the 16th floor. Must have been very close, we were honestly expecting an impact. Did 3 or 4 passes and buggered off. I scoured the news for the next few days, but there was absolutely nothing...
Doo doo doo doo.
Immigration officers broke into the building next door and took a load of people away.
One hot day, summer 2005 I think it was. The three hot female students that lived in the flat opposite the office window went on their roof to sunbathe topless.
The Tour of Britain came past the window on the other side that summer too.
I've worked in Rotherham since, nothing interesting happens here.
These posts make my window in Bradford sound very interesting!!
Over the years I've had (in no particular order),
Several people pissing in doorways,
a guy defacating into a Biffa wheely bin,
two people smoking crack in a car,
two people having sex in a car, (two seperate occasions),
two beauticians getting undressed,
a guy in the appartments opposite tugging one off,
a girl who used to spin round all night in her window (that was just weird),
several naked female students in the appartment windows opposite,
a guy breaking into cars, (we called the fuzz)
a police chase, during which the suspect threw a handgun into the beck,
armed police making an arrest,
a couple of massive mill fires,
two Chinook helicopters,
Yorkshires biggest fountain,
a huge bird of prey we couldn't recognise, but agreed it looked most like a vulture or condor!
Several ketrels striking pigeons
and dozens upon dozens of cyclists going the wrong way down the one way street!!!
I don't have a window. 🙁
I used to work in the big hall below, and my view was out on to the lake and fields below.
Was the most beautiful place I have ever worked. Especially when it was closed for a short period when foot and mouth hit.

I have 2 offices 8)
Neither has a window 😥
I overlook Piccadilly station. One of the trains was on time!
The other windows look out over the Pennines. On a nice sunny day like today it's nice but also kinda depressing.
The Brigit Maersk coming up Langton lock at the Port of Liverpool.

I work outside so no windows but mrscarlos come home one evening last week saying they'd seen a bloke with a great big macaw on his shoulder walking through the wood behind her work.
A view you say? What were you expecting to see.....
I'm presently looking out of the studio window to see Winter Hill to my left, the wind turbines on Scout Moor in front of me, and Saddlworth Moor to the right. Its one of the best things about work. The view is stunning! Its actually very distracting
I see test bikes being ridden. And vet nurses walking by.
As for the unusual, well, nowt really although the forklift driver had to jump out once when it went off down a bank. Not strictly viewable from my window though.
Chunky - yours is very special grass though. Any news on the Pikes?
Submarines and a sizeable Greenpeace attack
A man swinging his dog around on its lead
Assorted nudity, partial nudity and suggestive behaviour
Barak Obama
we have a guy come to our place (i work in a Hospital) with a big Hawk to take out the pigeons, last time he came he set the hawk off and with minutes about 10 or so crows took it out and slammed it into our window! felt sorry for the hawk but never mess with the crows!! 🙂
Emailed you earlier rickyboy
two people having sex in a car, (two seperate occasions)
So that was 2 solo endeavours?
One window: Scout Moor windfarm
Other Window: Carrington Power Station (gas turbine)
The windfarm is the older of the two, so not so "new" technology.
An RAF typhoon travelling supersonic (confirmed by the MOD)
Countless Apaches, Chinooks, Tornados and Hurcules'
A man doing a full change of clothes, undercrakers and all.
Two blokes wondering why the rear wheels of their car wouldn't turn, despite them, reving the balls off it, then removing wheels and belting the discs with a wrench, then calling the RAC, who informed them they had (both) left the handbrake on... Their faces were priceless.
Countless Apaches, Chinooks, Tornados and Hercules.
A steam powered car in the car park.
A cow wondered in to the site once as well.
We have a harrier jump jet on display in the car park.
I sit next to a glass fire door which has one way mirror glass in it. I can see out, people on the other side see a mirror.
Girls walking past will often use the glass as a mirror so we're often treated to the sight of girls close up, messing with their hair, doing their make up and just looking at themselves to see how pretty they are.
When all that's not happening, the door faces out onto the smoking area. Amazing the amount of pretty girls who smoke but it is a nice distraction.
I guess blokes must be around there too but I never see them.
... in a business park in Yate? He's either here for a reason.... or is REALLY lost!
Another STW'er in Yate! I'm also on the business park. 😉
Being on the 3rd floor overlooking the main entrance I occasionally see down ladies tops in the summer. Especially the hottie from the ground floor who always wears low cut tops. More pervy than weird but worth a gander all the same. HTH
Milkie I live in Yate as also, well until August that is.
Our stairs look out on a fire station and they're forever cutting up old cars. Last year they started doing biohazard drills with space suits on.
Currently 4 or 5 neds with what looks like the bounty from a 'smash and grab'. I can see what looks like bottle of some beers / gin / Mad Dog / Vodka and a unidentified green bottle. they are necking it straight while walking loudly under my window!
France
Two magpies having at it in all the glories of Spring that only animals can have. GET OFF MY LAWN!!
Tits.......and nuthatches and woodpeckers and buzzards and chaffinches and siskins and cows and the Blorenge.
I'm at home ill.
And out out of my living room window, the RAF are either starting to train pilots with the Apaches. Or we're being invaded.
At work my window moves a lot and some of the the things in front of it will never cease to amaze me!

You're sure that's not a tv?
I used to see models getting changed in the office across the street 3rd floor, we were 5th floor.
It happened about twice a year as they were doing previews for the new season.
Gets boring after 5 mins - honest 😀
I worked in an office next to the trafford centre for a while, close to the Manchester ship canal, I couldn't actually see the canal, but would see the occasional ship going past, looked out of place and quite weird.
An RAF typhoon travelling supersonic (confirmed by the MOD)
the sonic boom wasn't enough??
Legend, we all thought it was a mini earthquake (our whole building shook as it flew over) then saw on the news what it was. We'd dismissed the sonic boom idea, what with them being frowned upon over land.
saw a land rover fly past the window, it was hanging off a cable under a chinook.
one of these buggers last year

In chronological order...
Space shuttle on the back of a jumbo jet.
A bloke flying through the air after digging through a power cable with his shovel.
The police pulling a car over, finding a Samurai Sword on the back seat, then jumping on the driver as he tried to leg it.
Battle of Britain flight practicing for an airshow.
Watching smokers having their fags in the rain, because the smoking room was 'too smoky'
bits of train jumpers arriving in bin bags by ambulance
Airbus A380 wings being barged down the Dee estuary.
Used to have a great view of the Malven Hills from our office, one of the only perks to working here, but now thanks to local planners we have a nice brick wall to a shopping centre!

About 25 years ago, I saw Shakin' Stevens out my office window.
My wife saw a wolf last week. Though that office isn't in the UK.

Not quite my office, but a view from my window. Brave little fellow:)
