Trial of roundabouts on pavements to make pavement users flow better, what with all the people, bikes, disabled electric vehicles and prams ... trouble is people keep stopping and trying to place things on the top !

Shelley saw the "Made in Germany" sticker, and immediately nicknamed her new best friend "Conan the Bavarian".

Five illegal immigrants had discovered a novel way to smuggle themselves into the country - and so far, nobody had noticed the only flaw in their plan... until nearly blind Bridget thought she had found a disposal point for her scooped dog poop!

Shouldn't design cones in metric if you're going to outsource manufacturing to NASA.

Cone prepares to head butt girl for stepping on his foot.

In a press release Mr Cone said “I’m sick and tired of it here in Birmingham, I’m going back to... wait for it wait for it.....

Coney Island” :bighand:

I'm sure we must be coming to the end and barrel-scraping soon, so another week perhaps...? Maybe there's a last minute gem to be had :)

It's going to be hard to pick but I will honestly choose based simply on which made me laff the most. I love them all and there was more substance there than I anticipated. :D

Quick reminder now we're on page 2:

"Girl takes cover by large cone as building starts to topple"

(I know it's the wide angle lens but that's how it looks to me :P )
