SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT YESTERDAY'S ALIEN INVASION

A Wiltshire man had a £1,000 bet with bookmakers William Hill that an intergalactic spaceship would appear in our skies yesterday. His odds of 1000/1 would win him £1million.

Well, I certainly didn’t see any IFO – like a UFO, but identified (Aussie psychic Blossom Goodchild said it would belong to the Federation Of Light). And neither did I see anything on the telly about an alien invasion.

But all is not lost: the wording of the bet is that either the US President or UK Prime Minister will confirm the existence of alien life within a year (on the well-known premise that our dastardly governments have a penchant for keeping strange, other-world creatures a secret from us, although the U.S. made an exception in the case of George W Bush).

And I have this strange feeling that the Wiltshire punter might have some inside knowledge. Well, he is called Lawrence Trout.

Half-man half-fish. What more proof do you want? Especially if the fish is the top half.

It certainly made Hills edgy. They cut the odds to 100/1 pretty sharpish.
