It's our multi racial, multi cultural statue, we melted all of them all down from around the city and cast several of these which we will placed around London, Sadly the dogs find it ideal to use as a lavatory.

They're designed to take one activist, we will then launch them from our recently restored Iraqi supergun into low orbit.

It’s the super gun launched Irish space station shuttle, if we miss they're the Irish mission to Mars.

Having spent £6.3bn on Sizewell C as a Nuclear Fueled Power Station. The Government changed their minds and made it a Wind Powered Station. The first support for the turbines is ready to be sent over

I probably should have treated that picture like it was radioactive. But in for a becquerel, in for a rutherford, I guess.

Kiltrash also takes the runner-up position for his subtle attempt to butter up the judge with a locomotive. But you'd have done better with lard -- or two ears, and snout, and a curly tail. (Think Wade-Giles.)
