the night the Hudd was attacked!

Ok, it’s a cold, wet evening in Huddersfield, I get a call from Lucy asking if I want to go to the festival of lights, im thinking that crazy Muslim festival, but no, we wrap up warm, go out and to the nearest church to find about 50foot in the air, 2 giant squids floating around, not something you see everyday, we then see smoke and lights and the faint glimmer of the sound of the sea, so we move into whatt seemed a crown of all the Huddersfield locals (not really something you wanna be doing much) and are completely bewildered by the scene that were presented with, a giant clam seems to be wafting around with a pearl floating in the air around it, accompanied by two house sized fish floating in the air, we see the squids around too, and there are weird people dressed up as prawns running around the crowds scaring the shit out of all the kids there!

So we move onto the train station, where the fish are heading, they then subside and the crown starts to build, all of a sudden a fuck off whale appears floating through the streets of the Hudd into the square where the station is, the whale is soon accompanied by the fish, the Squids, a giant lobster then some super long sea serpent thing!seriously im thinking im watching like war of the worlds on smack here, we all still have no idea what the relevance of all this shit was with anything, but we watch on, basically, dramatic music helps to set the scene that this big knob of a serpent pretty much just starts on all these other fish, the whale, and then an octopus that appears out of nowhere, kills most of em, but then this dopey ass octopus eats the snake, the lobster appears from his hiding place, as he obviously was hiding like a gay, and attempts to push the pearl across the crowd into an other open clam, now these huge inflatable creatures are being dragged by men on the floor with huge ropes, which means that trying to control these things is pretty tricky, especially when trying to make a 50ft long lobster push a ball about 100metres, so these creatures keep like plummeting to the floor attacking kids, crushing old ladies, and generally just malestering the Huddersfield locals. The whole thing finishes with a big firework show, and around 10000 people are left wondering what the fuck just happened, so we went and got a drink and discussed how it was blatantly a failed terrorist attack by the alkaida!

Anyway, here are some pictures to prove that I hadn’t just injected smack into my face!
