The Warwickshire Whelk - To Scale

Posted by Picasa
Extremely rare, shy and nervous, here we see a photograph taken during very low light conditions (as it is said that he is alergic to natural light) of Huge Horsefly. Amazingly, here we see him photographed next to a standard size wine glass.

Crill in the Mist

Here we see two unmistakable silhouettes: in the background, The Crab, waiting to pounce on anything straying within snapping distance. In the foreground, we see Mr Huge Horsefly, almost indistinguishable from #4 peg(left of photo) on this drive.

Master of Ceramonies


With a glass raised to the chef and to Dave (see earlier posts), The Crab sings a sea shanty and scuttles off back into a dark corner.

Those left behind

Posted by Picasa
With her eyes set on a set of babyback ribs, this planktonic figure shows her disgust as they are snatched from her eyes by The Termicrab.

Evans - Expensive taste

With squid and shellfish flying all around The Crabshack, a bystander took this photograph, as Mr Charles John Bickerton Evans was handed his most recent credit card bill, having let his girlfriend, Miss S Smith, loose for a spot of shopping in London, to get her out of his hair for a couple of hours.

Terminator

From an early age, it has been said that if The Crab is ever allowed to consume over 40 units of alcohol, he is transformed into a creature so terrifying that he represents a danger to all in the vicinity. In a scene remeniscent of the 1990s smash hit film, The Terminator, The Crab's eye, upon consuming his 40th unit, glows red and a rack of ribs, along with a poussin are terminated.

Side Order

Having finished the first course, The Crab quietly mentions to the staff that he would like a little more scampi.

Double Trouble

With competition for the food becoming increasingly intense and a drift net floating closer by the second, The Crab, with a flick of his claw, reveals his hidden weapon - a second Bib, enabling him to polish off all but the tiniest crumbs whilst others stared in amazement.

Super Crab

With Bib on and a juicy meal within snapping distance, The Crab displays supernatural strength and lunges across the table, allowing nothing to get in between him and the morsels scattered over the table. Note, his normal favoured food - Shrimp (pictured bottom left of this image) is ignored when tastier snacks are available.

Squid Viscious

Sensing that a feeding frenzy was about to ensue, a nearby member of staff rushed over to The Crab and put on his squid-proof Crab Protection Bib, used only for the biggest of meals. Rumours have been circulating for many months now that the Bib releases special powers within The Crab, although until now, this has been unsubstantiated...... some readers may find the next images disturbing.

The Crabshack


Research continues into Crab's world. Sightings are becoming increasingly rare, meaning that more elaborate 'honey traps' are having to be set in order to get close to this mysterious creature. Without doubt, the most regular sightings are recording on the Kings Road and in particular in The Big Easy Crab Shack. A platter of calamari, ribs and chicken was placed in a quiet corner of the Crabshack and just after low tide, the following image was recorded on a motion sensitive camera...... The Crab is seen scutting out of the dark, his sensitive snout detecting his next meal.
