Posting about getting thrown out of a political meeting in the Tiny Little Things thread has just reminded me that I once threw a buttered scone at the mayor's car. It bounced off the bonnet leaving a highly satisfactory butter smear all across the front, after which I scarpered, promptly.


Any advances on scone-based insurrection?

When I was about 14 me and my mate put tights over our heads and under the cover of darkness went and took down a huge vote labour poster thing opposite our house but my mum caught us and made us put it back even though she always said she wanted to throw paint on it.

They never said a word to me but about a week later in the same pub I got slapped standing at the bar for no apparent reason. I put it down to Da Managment.

When I was very much younger I used to delight in switching the politcal party boards outside homes on my estate, Tories would wake up to to see themselves proclaiming their support for the Labour party, etc. I graduated from this to dousing the boards with lighter fluid and setting them alight.


And to my amusement, just last week under the cover of darkness and cider I defaced a large UKIP billboard at the end of my road by spray painting the words "You should be ashamed of yourselves". It lasted a day before being replaced.


I am not naturally a revolutionary, but I do object to UKIP hoardings outside my home.

With two friends in support I shinned up a flagpole in N. Wales and removed the Welsh Flag flying there as a response to some nationalistic baiting of the three of us by some Welsh earlier that night in a pub. (They objected to one Englishman and two Scotsmen climbing "their" mountains).


The flag remain in the possession of one of my friends.

I wouldn't call it revolutionary but it was in response to Concorde being pulled from service and I was very angry regardless of the reasons/disaster and I sent a very long letter to Bae systems demanding an explanation. I also added a sachet of itching powder. Childish I know but at the time I thought otherwise.

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
