We had many excellent entries for our Smashing Things With Hammers photo competition; but, in the end, there can be only one winner.
Er, ten. There can be only ten winners. Whether it be cruelty to animals (real or fake), giant eggs, or actual self-harm, you’ll find it here. Thanks, folks; your dedication to the cause is an inspiration to us all.
So, without further ado, here are the winning entries:
Firstly, Johnny, who is either very small or knows someone with a very large chicken:
