He’s lost the trust of his sheep. That’s punishment enough.
But what about his conker?
Oh this is delicious.
Guy who has competed for 50 years, without winning, is not only caught carrying a steel conker “indistinguishable from a real one” but was also involved in preparing the sack from which conkers are picked, on the year he finally wins.
And then he still lost the overall championship to an American woman who took it up last year.
These are the stories I live for.
Diabolical behaviour. In a world of turmoil and struggle he has the audacity to cheat in a humble game of conkers.
To the gallows!
Literally shaking and crying rn
I bet it’s like road cycling, where **everyone** is using. I mean vinegar, and baking have been known for years.
What with this and the Street Countdown knife attack I feel we are living in truly interesting times.
His conker sack needs to be destroyed
Nothing is sacred anymore
Takes balls of steel to try a stunt like this.
Games gone
Conkers Bad Sunday
First a knife fight at the Countdown conference, now a steel conker at the World Conker Championships.
I really don’t know where the daytime TV gameshow fans and players of anachronistic schoolboy pastimes are heading in this country anymore, I really don’t.
Fucking animal.
What about his conkers?
What little trust i had left in this world has been conked to smithereens.
