Croppie Gossip: How Those Rumours Burn

There are tears aplenty over on the Facebook sewer as Dene Hine someone called BlueGrapefruit35 has emerged from under the tarpaulin to cry about how unfairly Team Ten Watt have been treated this year. The fly in Dene’s Grapefruit’s ointment seems to be how the Crop Circle Connector and, apparently Monique Klikenbergh’s Crop Circle Visitor Centre and Exhibition have treated the dream team’s work. Week after week, the Connector has consigned their rubbish to the rumours section. 

Let’s go through the points raised by Hine Grapefruit one by one, in order, as it’s the easiest way to make sense of the nonsense:

The legitimacy of this year’s crop circles brought to you and promoted by the crop circle connector and the crop circle exhibition are questionable.

Questionable, maybe, but not as questionable as Ten Watt’s own practices. Read on.

Once a crop circle is made by the various teams known to the website a certain drone pilot is scrambled to be there at sunrise to capture the first images.

Correct, to an extent. Once a crop circle is reported to the Connector they will ask photographer Nick Bull to go there. Sometimes he will arrive earlier, other times later in the day. Funnily enough, brave stroke and cancer survivor Hine and his merry band of losers have tried to exploit this themselves this year, contacting the Connector under a false email address to report the ‘commission’ they illegally made for ‘psychedelic artist’ Harry Pack near Stonehenge. Each and every other time, Hine’s team have been out making something and then releasing it through the Facebook septic tank he administrates (usually under a cover story that Billy Breen or some other ‘friend’ just happened to be in the right place at the right time). 

The exhibition centre then promotes the circle and attempts to convince the farmer that bus loads of tourists will make him money.

Ah, the same ‘exhibition centre’ that also promotes the work of Hine and his clan. Klinkenbergh and equally misguided photographer Hugh Newman have been Ten Watt’s biggest promoters outside of the Facebook sewer in 2025. But if Grapefruit had anything resembling intelligence he’d be appreciating the work that Klinkenbergh has done for him this year, sharing details of his circles as if they are genuine rather than hoaxes. That doesn’t fit the narrative though.

Farmer is not interested and cuts them out.

That’s quite an overstatement. Of Hine and team’s hoaxes, the majority have not been cut out, despite being featured on Klinkenbergh’s website and social media presence. 

For the record, we do wish that Klinkenbergh would stop contacting farmers — essentially all she is doing is pushing the circles away from Wiltshire — but that’s one for another time. 

For legitimacy of crop circles. The ones not promoted by the usual suspects and not eaten by the angry farmers are probably the real deal.

Wait, are you really that stupid? Well, yes.

Hine, Davies and co. have posted their construction plans and diagrams in the sewer since they’ve had their webbed hands over it. They’ve openly admitted to what they’ve made in there.

Yet, apparently Hine and his team are now stood before us, reborn as aliens and producing crop circles that are the ‘real deal’. What’s more, ‘real’ crop circles are now those which don’t feature in the Connector or within Klinkenbergh’s online presence. You’re so utterly thick, you’ve wiped out the legitimacy of pretty much every circle you’ve made this year given how Klinkenbergh has been foolish enough to promote you.

It’s so hilarious that we’re wondering how this idiot functions in the real world.

So, ‘real’ crop circles are those which Hine and team boast about having made, share the plans, aren’t cut out by farmers and haven’t appeared in anything  to do with Monique Klinkenbergh and the Crop Circle Connector. Good luck with that one!
