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.
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.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've had a couple more entries into my 'box since, and yours has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that they lack...
DeleteAh yes, something with a deadline I guess ...
ReplyDeleteAh yes, indeed. I shall be keeping an eye out up until that deadline.
DeleteAfter all, I've got Savvy on a promise, too!
Saw this and thought of you... Jx
ReplyDeleteFabulous, darling!
DeleteExcept for the Tin Foil Mermaid - she's the stuff of nightmares...
"Fun for a Large Party". Apparently. Jx
DeleteFun for her, maybe. I would imagine the large party would be shitting itself...
DeleteOh oh oh!!! Mine is ready for submission!!!!! Where am I sending it..... faffs about looking for email address....
ReplyDeleteSX
Oh, I should have sorted out a prize for those intrepid souls who managed to find my email address, too!
DeleteTsk... I haven't done that in a while....
ReplyDeleteSx
Well, you haven't lost your touch!
DeleteP.S Off Topic: What the hell was going on in Cromer at the weekend? Apparently it was in lockdown or something?
ReplyDeleteSx
P.P.S. Off Off-Topic: What the hell is going on with Miss Scarlet?
DeleteI know!! I'd like to know that too!! I blame the eclipse.
DeleteMy entry is in!! Though it's possible Mr Devine will flush it away.
Sx
I tried flushing but the rubber duck was too buoyant and kept floating back up the U-bend...
DeleteAs 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!
Entry submitted just now via e-mail. Featuring tin foil, ducks, and current events!
ReplyDeleteDid I win yet?
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...
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteSeriously 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?
"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...
DeleteThe rest is called Franconia, ihr Haiden ...
ReplyDeleteYou have my entry, but I am disappointed in my final effort! *le sigh* I need to start NOW for the next contest!! xoxox
