Foiled Again?!


[image via]
 No pressure, but we've received the first entry for this year's Tin Foil Hat Competition!  

 No, it's not "Sea Urchin" as constructed and modelled by Sir David Attenborough on the right here:
 (We had to disqualify his submission as he had "help" from NASA)

 You now have five days to submit your tin foil hats for entry into this illustrious competition (six, if you include the rest of today and a little leeway for the early hours of Friday morning to allow for time-travel nincompoopery).

Closing date for entries is midnight on Thursday 24th August

  1. Oh dear, first in again. Not boding well. mind you, everyone else will have gone to more effort than me, my enduring trouble. Although I did once come top in art just to spite the teacher.

    3. I tried flushing but the rubber duck was too buoyant and kept floating back up the U-bend...

      As for the infamous Cromer Lockdown, the news made it seem like we were besieged by North Korean (or at the very least, North Walsham, as it's only 9 miles away) military forces, when it was only a few travellers. Although, they were quite intimidating, so I've heard. And they didn't pay for some drinks!

    1. For your all-encompassing submission, I should think you do deserve a prize. Although I'm too late to get rid of these knock-off eclipse-glasses now...

  8. What happened was the residents of Birmingham fancied a weekend at the seaside. Now we're banned from Weston we tried Cromer. Hearing the accent, a shopkeeper thought we were foreign and automatically refused us service, to which we politely protested. Riot police were summoned and a siege ensued. We'll be back next summer: the gunshots and burning vehicles made us feel at home.
    Seriously it does all seem a bit much. Before term ended we had three schools in police lockdown on the same day. Was there a slight overreaction to the arrival of some travellers?

    1. "Hearing the accent, a shopkeeper thought we were foreign" - You are! Anyone from outside of Norfolk *is* foreign. Not that we believe there is anything outside Norfolk...
