Uses Americanisms but also uses old English measurements ? FEET? .

So must be of the pre decimal era.

This thread prompted me to look on the web for bad writing awards and I found a perfect website: http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2012win.html How's this for dreadful (the winning phrase):


Winner 2012


As he told her that he loved her she gazed into his eyes, wondering, as she noted the infestation of eyelash mites, the tiny deodicids burrowing into his follicles to eat the greasy sebum therein, each female laying up to 25 eggs in a single follicle, causing inflammation, whether the eyes are truly the windows of the soul; and, if so, his soul needed regrouting. ? Cathy Bryant, Manchester, England

The winner of the 2012 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest is Cathy Bryant of Manchester, England.

In case anybody thinks that has anything to do with how I came to be looking at the website, heaven forbid, it was because I came across this quote:


?All I ask is for an objective consideration of all the evidence. Anyone who won't do that isn?t really entitled to an opinion.? ? Travis Walton


I thought it was an excellent quote, and I'd never heard of Travis Walton, so I googled him. Now I sort of wish I hadn't :))


And the writing is so extraordinarily bad that I can't even read enough of it to find out what his supposed evidence is :))

ETA: Voyageur, I haven't looked at the website you mentioned yet but surely, surely, surely that winning entry was deliberately written to be bad?

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
