Comical Scenes in Swansea’s Festive Night Out
Photos taken during a festive night out in Swansea have taken the internet by storm, reminiscent of a similar viral snap from Manchester nightlife in 2015.
These pictures depict lively interactions between partygoers and police officers on Wind Street in Swansea, bustling with activity on the last Friday before Christmas.
Viral Chaos on Wind Street
The images showcase various moments: from a man being held on the ground and arrested by officers outside Bambu Beach Bar, surrounded by animated bystanders, to another man taking a selfie with the police while someone holds an officer’s hat.
A heated argument between a man, a woman, and a police officer unfolds amidst the crowded street, contrasting with a woman embracing them affectionately.
The chaotic scenes typify the energetic revelry of the last Friday before Christmas Eve, popularly known as Black Friday, drawing in celebrants across the UK and keeping police forces busy.
Comparison to Manchester’s Memorable Night
These Swansea snapshots draw parallels to the famous image from Manchester’s Well Street on New Year’s Eve in 2015, humorously termed the ‘Creation of Manchester.’
The renowned photo captured a man dramatically reaching for a beer bottle while chaos ensued around him, evoking a modern-day Michelangelo piece.
Despite the photo entertaining thousands, the main subject, Mike Deveney, recalls little of the moment and was surprised by its viral spread.
His friend Hannah Kirby, visible in the foreground of the photo, clarified that Mike had been knocked over during a scuffle involving police and another reveler, debunking the relaxed narrative portrayed in the picture.
Social Media Delight and Memes
The image’s resemblance to a Renaissance painting prompted a flurry of internet memes, with users creatively incorporating the scene into various contexts.
From a group of onlookers clutching takeaway boxes in the background to Mike Deveney reaching for a beer bottle amidst the turmoil, the photo sparked widespread amusement and playful online adaptations.
Reactions and Revelations
Reacting to the viral image, Hannah Kirby expressed her astonishment at being part of the famous photo, finding the situation “hilarious.”
Meanwhile, Mike Deveney, despite the photo gaining worldwide attention, felt indifferent, recalling little of the incident and only learning about it days after its online explosion.
His recollection of the night involved visiting pubs before the chaotic episode that led to the viral snapshot.

- In photos taken less than two weeks after divorcing from her boyfriend of eight years, Julie Bishop smiled with a group of young miners. The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram. Ms. Bishop was spotted on Tuesday evening when she arrived in Canberra for the annual John Gee Memorial Lecture at the Australian National University (ANU). A cheerful Ms. Bishop was pictured posing with Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Ms. Bishop, who has been the university chancellor for two and a half years, gave the opening remarks for the event while elegantly attired in a black flowery top, pants, and heels in front of a packed crowd. At the event, which was held in memory of the late diplomat Dr. John Gee, Argentinian Mr. Grossi served as the main speaker. Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018. When Mr. Panton declared that the relationship had reached its end on July 1, the couple went out to supper, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. For the foreseeable future, I’m going to concentrate on living in Manly and Melbourne, Mr. Panton told the outlet. “I wish Julie continued success in her outstanding work,”In photos taken less than two weeks after divorcing from her boyfriend of eight years, Julie Bishop smiled with a group of young miners.
