Ghost dinosaurs photographed in Crookes!

[Alcoblog 10]

'Boring!', 'Preposterous!', I hear you all chant in unison at the very idea of dinosaur ghosts roaming the streets of Crookes … 'obviously made up'.

 

Well no, it's not made up at all in actual fact … the pictures you are about to see are completely unadulterated by any photoshopping trickery, devoid of any tamperings by my goodself, using my mastery of multi-coloured pencil crayons, or indeed, just 'tricks of the light' or 'a moth alighting on the (21megapixel! ) camera lens'.

 

These pictures were taken on my new mobile phone … one so complicated to use that I haven't even bothered to read the instruction library that comes with it … I don't need 'em, just 'point and click'. The results are astonishing! ...

 

Here, a Tyrannosaurus Rex can plainly be seen crossing the road on its way to getting a tattoo with absolutely no regard for other road users whatsoever (note the volcano opposite the Newsagent's)

 

Just here, and using a little more road sense, a ghost Velociraptor can be seen waiting patiently at the pelican crossing for the lights to change, whilst on its way to the bakers for a tasty cheese lattice.

 

Thankfully, these spectral dinosaurs can't be seen by the human eye alone ... just as with all photographs of ghosts, a camera is the best device with which to view them (and indeed photograph them). I say 'thankfully' because although admittedly not Jurasically 201 million years old like the dinosaurs, the majority of the population of Crookes are well past their 'sell by' date, and easily scared ... my next-door-neighbour being a prime example (it wouldn't take much than a Triceratops for her to spit out her last remaining tooth and feature heavily in next Sunday's remembrance service at St.Thomas's).

 

Anyway, rather than selling these photographs for large amounts of money to the world press, I thought that I'd share them here with the readers of this fine forum instead. At a push, I may involve the (Sheffield) Star or the Daily Mail.

 

Has anyone else seen ghost dinosaurs round Crookes?

Last time I saw a dinosaur was when Wednesday was doing well... Or so we are all told

You must lead a very exciting life if you think ghost dinosaurs at Crookes are boring.

Maybe those Dinos scared off the water delivery people to the Sheffield marathon??

Why have we never been informed about this. I smell government cover up, its a conspiracy, it has to be.

I agree, most of Alcoblogs posts need sending to the I'm Bored section

I think that Attercliffe is more of your sort of Triassic area (230 million years ago), maybe even Permian at a push ... Just before the Early Parsonian Era. Maybe the occasional Eryops or the like ... perhaps plankton?

I don't believe they're ghosts, there's clearly a volcano in the first picture, is that a ghost too?

I put it to you that your so-called 'ghost dinosaurs' are actually live dinosaurs. You must take us for mugs Alco *shakes fist*

I only read Alco's posts when I'm very excited, so I don't think that would pan out very well
