Some may say these are just stinky, shabby, revolting sheds on wheels but to others who really see them for what they are, these art installations are truly a brilliant effort and to many bring joy and laughter (attributed to Midfield Diamond)<br /> We must only hope that every caravan owner takes inspiration from Mr Cooper and creates their very own work of art, preferably in the small hours of the morning and close to a scrap yard, after all these things take practice and the artists would only want us to appreciate their efforts at their best so considerable amount of scrap along the way is only to be expected...... Or even admired ! Keep it up !! (in Scotland obviously for the sake of comedy) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47158#post-135381 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:55:09 +0000 Psycadelic Squirrel 135381@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice work! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47158#post-135377 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:39:54 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 135377@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cracking stuff Mr Diamond.</p> <p>Hold on, you're not related to Bob are you? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47158#post-135374 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:26:18 +0000 Yikes 135374@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very funny! 5* </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47158#post-135363 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:41:50 +0000 Midfield Diamond 135363@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>An Edinburgh Fringe comedy prize has been awarded to a caravan accident on the M8. The entry ‘Elddis Crusader on its roof’ by Brian Cooper of Basingstoke won ‘Best Improvised Comedy Installation’ after it amused huge crowds at the weekend. Traffic queued on both carriageways of the motorway for several miles to get the chance to laugh at Mr Cooper’s efforts while the judging panel assessed the work as ‘original, inventive and very, very funny.’ </p> <p>But the Caravan Club, whose membership does not include Mr Cooper, was not so amused. “I didn’t see the joke at all,” said spokesman Trevor Atkins. “It was horrific just thinking about having to re-stack all those plastic plates, without imagining the damage that the chemical toilet could do to the reconfigurable kitchen/diner/couchette. And to hear that Traffic Officers were turning up just to join in the laughter was very distressing.”</p> <p>Mr Cooper was delighted however. “It’s a great honour to have my work recognised by this prestigious award”, he said. A relative newcomer to the comedy circuit, Mr Cooper claims he first realised he had the gift of making people laugh one Bank Holiday in 2010. “My Bailey Ranger lost a wheel in a contraflow on the M5 and, despite the massive hold-ups, motorists were pointing at me and laughing heartily as they passed,” he explained. Since then, Mr Cooper has exhibited several other installations, one of which ‘Jack-knifed Sterling Europa’, completely blocked the east-bound M62 last summer. </p> <p>There is a fear that the Edinburgh Festival award will encourage numerous copycat examples of Brian Cooper’s brand of humour on Britain’s roads this coming Bank Holiday weekend. Motorists have therefore been warned to take particular care when approaching comedians attempting to tow caravans. </p>
