[Asset]

Oooooo, wooo woooo.

what do you reckon?

[silverfox]

Load of old rubbish

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The end of the world is nigh. Eight helicopters swooped over Peckham Rye yesterday afternoon. Reckon we have been invaded but the pesky News of the World is keeping it stum until Sunday.

[Keef]

It looks impressive though.

[red devil]

Don't think the farmer would agree with you there Keef... get off my land!

[Keef]

The farmer probably did it with his Combine Harvester one drunk evening.

[Sandperson]

Would you notice the apocalypse in Wiltshire?

[bigbadwolf]

I reckon it was Keef. The combination of sleepless nights and a Marijuana habit can make ordinary citizens do wierd west country things.

"Crop circle theorists believe the patterns are created by (ET) UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth, though the latter is highly unlikely"

Snicker.

That said, while I sneer away at people thinking UFOs did it, I am in fact in awe of the creative abilities of the people that did it. In the middle of the night, presumably!

[bigbadwolf]

Moos.

Some of the patterns are indeed very impressive but if you have been taught Surveying like me (not the clipboard brigade but leveling and trig) then it's actually not that difficult to do.

Yes, I'm showing off.

[annaj]

I'm with Moos. The fact that person or people unknown can do that overnight (in midsummer, so short nights) without anyone seeing them, and without leaving any mark, and without letting the secret get out, is more impressive than the idea of life on other planets.

Imagine what that sort of creativity and organisation could achieve...

[bigbadwolf]

Without consent from the landowner it's also vandalsim. I'm surprised at you Anna with your position in the community an all. I suppose you'll be running around stabbing wheelie bins next.

[PeckhamRose]

Beautiful vandalism though.

Still, indeed spare a thought for the poor sod who has lost his crops.

[silverfox]

How come we never hear of crop circles in fields of poppies or marajuana - just boring old wheat, barley etc. I think these mischievous nocturnal alien surveyor/artists should tell us or we might have to do a bit of intergalactic phone tapping

[Keef]

Because the ones that get started in marajuana fields soon stop being circles, and just become Crop Squiggly Lines.

[red devil]

Stoned Wallabies...

[silverfox]

Thanks red devil, I stand corrected

Right, BBW, I'll be expecting to see a crop circle in my overgrown lawn by 4am tomorrow morning, and I'll be deeply disappointed if you fail to provide.

this one appeared in my lawn overnight, think it must have been the drug dealers form the cafe in Choumert Road Maarket what did it... they must be mighty clever, cos they never get caught by the police, even though they are blatantly dealing in broad daylight.... how can that be????

[charliecharlie]

or maybe it was the bad wolf.....
