Britain's dullest men pose for 2015 calendar, in pictures
|
The 12 dullest men in Great Britain are featured in a new calendar. The Dull Men's Club has more than 5,000 male members, who are passionate about everyday mundane things, which others think are dull. Leland Carlson, assistant vice-president of the Club, decided to publish the calendar to celebrate the eccentricities of its dullest members. "We wanted to have a bit of fun. The British are well known for being eccentric and this calendar is a celebration of that," he said. The year begins with Kevin Beresford, from Redditch in Worcestershire, who is president of the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society, which he founded 11 years ago. Kevin, 62, spends his weekends travelling around the country photographing roundabouts and turning his pictures into books and calendars. |
英國《每日電訊報》10月17日報道稱，英國最無趣的12名男子拍了一套新日歷。“悶蛋俱樂部”（The Dull Men's Club）擁有5000多名男性成員，他們對日常的平淡事物充滿激情，然而這些事物在他人看來卻是枯燥無味的。利蘭·卡爾松（Leland Carlson）是該俱樂部的副總裁助理，他決定出版這款日歷贊揚(yáng)其成員的怪癖。他表示“我們希望帶來一點(diǎn)樂趣。英國人以怪癖聞名天下，這款日歷就是贊揚(yáng)這些怪癖。” 這款日歷以凱文·布雷斯福德（Kevin Beresford）的肖像翻開一月份。凱文·布雷斯福德來自烏斯特郡（Worcestershire）的雷迪奇（Redditch）市，11年前他創(chuàng)立了英國環(huán)島鑒賞協(xié)會（the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society）并擔(dān)任該協(xié)會的主席。現(xiàn)年62歲的凱文每周末都在國內(nèi)游歷，他攝影捕捉環(huán)島處的美麗，將其制成書籍和日歷。 |
