If this guy hadn't been drinking beer, that pier would have burned. Is there anything beer can't do?

He's the Southend Pier Pee-er.

The Brits have such a way of wording things:
A Southend Borough Council spokesman said: "Whilst we have faith our sprinkler system would have soon sprung into action, we understand the visitor deployed his own sprinkler system to swiftly extinguish the miniature inferno."
He said the family could come back and visit the pier for free, but added: "[We] kindly ask that he keeps his trousers firmly secured on this occasion."

He thought he spotted a jellyfish.

I understand it caused a bit of commotion when Gulliver did that.

Picking up where nursecindy left off:
That guy deserves a laurel and hearty handshake.
