Brevity not my strong point.<br /> Struggled with the headline too, but nothing seemed to do justice to the image of the 'thing that pulled out in front of me'. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47350#post-136161 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:47:35 +0000 Midfield Diamond 136161@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Welcome Squudge, and thanks for comments on my FP.</p> <p>You've certainly captured a gruesome specimen there, and the sub has some good lines in it. Needs a bit of work to tighten the whole thing up and a better ending perhaps, but it's nowhere near as bad as some of my early efforts. Keep 'em coming. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47350#post-135996 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:32:22 +0000 Squudge 135996@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The world of the Caravan Club was rocked yesterday with a surprise entry in the annual 'Cosmetic Caravan' competition. The prestige event, held traditionally over the August Bank holiday in Beaulieu (generally in lay-bys en-route and key traffic junctions in picturesque Lyndhurst nearby), attracts high numbers of entrants to the New Forest every year.</p> <p><img src="http://assets5.pinimg.com/upload/87116574012996662_IYxH19RD.jpg"></p> <p>Burt Impetigo, entering the competition for the first time, was tearful when he realised he had won a prize in the 'Beginner' category. Burt, who has a beard and lives in his caravan in a field near Porton Down, gives his job as 'civil servant', but his passion in life as sitting in his caravan 'Bessie'.</p> <p>Judges commended the caravan patina which had attained 'classic' status with algae encrustation pre-dating 1987. "It is so unusual to see the grime in perfect condition without finger-graffiti of a knob", enthused one of the judges. The interior was equally impressive with the added touch of a vintage B&amp;Q bucket with commemorative Lady Diana tea-tray 'lid', in lieu of a chemical toilet.</p> <p>'Bessie' obtained a 'Silver' the 'Classic' category and the highly prized 'DAFUQ' rosette, an award given to the most astonishing entry overall.</p> <p>When asked whether he would sponsor the event again next year, Lord Montague of Beaulieu went hissy-purple and brandished a shotgun. </p>
