Nope, not Billy the barbel or whatever it was called, but a 40ft sperm whale turned up at the mouth of the Lynn Channel this morning.

They were going to get the RAF to blow it up as it was feared it was a danger to shipping, but the tide turned and grounded it on Terrington Marsh.

Get the RAF to blow it up, might give the cormo's an alternative meal for a couple of days ;-)

Can you imagine what that would go up like...? A giant blimp full of methane, encased in six foot thick blubber..?

Bizarrely enough, one got washed up on the beach up here ten years back - who in their right mind would nick a dead whale..?

I've been called a lot worse, and the callers didn't bother with rhyme.
Doesn't go with my character though Chris, dead gentle me!

How come the barbel looks so terriied than mate..? It's probably thinking: "This is weird, the lads told me people breathed air..."
