Well, itā€™s certainly thrown up some interesting contenders for the Worst Excuse of the Year contest.

Until today, to be honest, Iā€™d thought that Deontay Wilder was a shoo-in for this contest, with his ā€œarmour was too heavyā€ excuse for getting pummeled for the WBO World Heavyweight title by Morecambeā€™s finest Tyson Furyā€¦

He led some online wit to pen the following replacement line to Eminemā€™s 8 Mile:

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, armour's heavy

but noā€¦ thereā€™s been a sneaky mid-year entry by Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnsonā€™s senior advisor, today, who made the excuse that he visited Barnard Castle as part of a 30 mile round-trip test driveā€¦ to see if his eyes were working properly.

The internet enjoyed Cummingsā€™ whacko excuse so much, they memed the life out of it, within moments. That is, after all, what the web is here for. Since chronicling all this is my primary function in life, here are the best of those memes.
