This is what happens when you don’t put out, ladies. They turn blue and fall off.
That’s funny, I grew up in Teesside and come to think of it, these things were always a pretty standard feature on the beach. I never thought to wonder what they are.
“According to experts at Tees Valley Wildlife Trust, the balls originate from Hartlepool power station, which use the abrasive spheres to clean the system’s pipes.
Dubbed ‘Taprogge balls’ after their manufacturer, the balls are rarely released into the sea, but sometimes need to be dumped if there is a sudden build-up of pressure.”
The Incels are coming!

^(Or not in this case.)
How many other “accidental” releases have happened at this nuclear power station?
‘I contacted EDF and I found their environmental compliance manager was interested in talking to us.’
Totally read that as complacence manager.
They’re from all the guys who went to Ibiza expecting some fun, only to realise the male to female ratio is 10:1 and they have no game.
You would have thought the blue balls would have been cleared up by passing seamen…
These gender reveals really are getting out of hand
It’s just the time of year always happens towards the end of November
A plot pivot to Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy – the mice, which had trained scientists as part of an experiment, refocused their attention towards innocuous sea creatures. Could they be used to increase the supply of seemingly valueless blue rubber spheres.

Could it be a shipping container that’s fallen off a ship? I.e. [Lego kept washing up on a Cornish beach (Atleast until 2014)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28367198).
