If only he were limiting the nasty food. Just their fresh coffee is v goodWell some good has come of this. Ronald McDonald is limiting his public appearances due to "the current climate around clown sightings".
Best value coffee around.If only he were limiting the nasty food. Just their fresh coffee is v good
It's like the 70's all over againmy 9-year-old son asked me on monday 'Have you heard of the killer clowns?'. I told him that it was just people mucking about, and he said, 'yeah, but they're killing kids. With their big knives'.
It's always good to have a Scare Story doing the rounds - it makes the kids behave themselves
Does 'em good .. my big sister used to shit me up with the tale of the little girl with the wooden leg and the gag that she was a reincarnated guard dog that had been killed by burglars .. if anyone's interested enough, I can type that one out ..I was forced to make one up on the spot for his birthday party last year, as it was just before Hallowe'en. I came up with a variation on 'The drummer boy sent down the mysterious tunnel' story - The Legend Of Bob Simkin.
I had two kids in frightened tears by the end of it.
Bwa-ha-ha-haaa!!

Russian Embassy in London issues formal warning to Russian citizens to beware of British clowns. v/@stuartmillar159
That may be the angle being played by this strange bat-guy.I believe Batman has had clown trouble before.
Definitely Cumbrian.
I remembered his accent as being Geordie- I'm now re-guessing,
The message above is, I think, from an overseas deployment of the Scarfolk Police. Scarfolk Council has previously tried to warn citizens about the menace...PSNI North Belfast @PSNIBelfastN 5h5 hours ago
Please take a moment to watch our advice about 'killer clowns'. http://ow.ly/e1Mq3059gaV #PSNI #KeepingPeopleSafe
He's worth watching every time Newcastle lose a football matchI've only watched the first few seconds of this, just to verify that he is a 'True Geordie' but he did start swearing almost immediately, so NSFW.
And it's about Batman.
Sorry to quote you again and also for going off-topic but try watching a bit of The Hairy Bikers. Dave Myers, the smaller, darker bespectacled one is from Barrow in Furness, Cumbria. Si King, the larger though somehow less threatening one is actually from County Durham, although with an accent as near to Geordie as you could wish for such an easy way to draw a comparison between the two.I remembered his accent as being Geordie- I'm now re-guessing,
It has to be said that this clown thing is getting way out of hand. People point and laugh when you mention the Dancing Plague of 1518 or the Salem Witch Trials, but hysteria is hysteria. The main difference is that this is being powered by social media and I assume that the "clowns" are more aware of what they are doing, contextually, than the 16th century dancers or the wee nippers of Salem. Another difference is that future generations of anthropologists are not going to be able to blame this outbreak of foolishness on ergot poisoning. Perhaps they'll decide it was a spontaneous, global reaction to Trumpton...although, thinking of Trumpton, the world would probably be a happier, calmer place if the clowns had settled on recreating this...I don't want to alarm anyone but the clown sightings have spread to Sweden. According to Kvällsposten, the police have had 70 reports in just the last 36 hours. This includes a clownchasing someone with a knife and 4 clowns beating someone with sticks.
I was never much good at borealingumetrics when I was at school , therefore that's a useful divination tool, thanks.So there's your homework for the weekend sorted.
So do think these 70+ reports are:I don't want to alarm anyone but the clown sightings have spread to Sweden
