Send the Chalk Man some sheep!



Tiger

Helen Mann, of the trust, said: “We are aware that the giant is not at his best right now. We are, however, expecting to have him rechalked this September, which we hope will help him stand out once more.”

- I bet she had to pick her words carefully.

I'll bet she did! Let's hope the sheep are just careful which bits they eat first...

Is it just me or is the idea of some 21st century chap re-chalking the Pagan symbol really... unsettling? Of course, if a woman was put in charge of the re-chalking, the finished result might be a lot more realistic. Think of the saving in tons of chalk dust!!

If I was in charge it would turn into the Madonna with the big boobies

Moaning, Oonah!

How do you know women did't make it in the first place, Tiger? Maybe it was the world's first advert: -

Wanted: Men - Only BIG men need apply.

I think you're on to something, Naomi. Or maybe it's early spam? "Update your Manhood!"

Or,

Mess with us, buddy, and you'll be facing THIS!

or,

Meet our champion fighter: Eric Chalknob.
Survivor of 30 rounds wins a night with the chieftan's daughter.

I love that you've named him Eric. That tickles me.
