2020 has been kicking us pretty consistently where it hurts, hasnāt it?!
Well, itās certainly thrown up some interesting contenders for the Worst Excuse of the Year contest.
Until today, to be honest, Iād thought that Deontay Wilder was a shoo-in for this contest, with his āarmour was too heavyā excuse for getting pummeled for the WBO World Heavyweight title by Morecambeās finest Tyson Furyā¦
He led some online wit to pen the following replacement line to Eminemās 8 Mile:
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, armour's heavy
but noā¦ thereās been a sneaky mid-year entry by Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnsonās 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.
Iām sure you will find / create / have pushed at you via WhatsApp something betterā¦ leave a comment below.
