England’s annual knob-throwing festival has been cancelled

Tragic.

We were looking forward to that. There's honestly nothing we enjoy more than bracing ourselves, getting our hands wrapped around a knob, and throwing it far away. It's a rush akin to holding your newborn for the first time, jumping out of a plane, or walking down the aisle to marry the love of your life. Unfortunately for us though, the UK's annual knob-throwing festival has been cancelled so we won't get to do any of that fun stuff that we genuinely look forward to every year. We had our flights booked and everything lads, we swear. According to the organisers of the Dorset festival, the knob-throwing event will not be going ahead because the company that makes the knobs, Moore's, is pulling out. (In case you hadn't realised yet, knobs are biscuits.) A spokesperson for the event told the Dorset Echo: 

"We own the rights to the festival name but we really do feel Dorset Knobs belong to Moores and we wouldn’t want to progress without their blessing. "Without Moores on side, we don’t feel we can really do it. Moores has always provided the biscuits so we have decided we are going to spend this year mending bridges and hopefully it will be resurrected in 2019 at Kingston Maurward."

The knob-throwing festival has proven very popular in recent years, with people travelling far and wide to throw some knobs, race some knobs in knob-and-spoon races, and pin the knob on the Cerne Abbas giant. Oh well. Until next year then.
