so you want me to say i have too much tiime on my hands to the general public

this will all be filmed as well

that would actualy be quite funny if you just stated how you have nothing to do and thought it would be a good idea to get a mega phone and shout out the reason why … xD

There used to be this Asian dude on here from Essex (it wasn’t me) what used to go around the centre of London acting as a sort of “guide” like you get on explorations in faraway foreign lands telling random visitors from all across the world stuff like that Alligators were regularly found in the River Thames and Grand Union Canal (and to therefore be most careful when walking near these waterways) and that the cultural centre of London was in fact across the river in Peckham. Americans in particular would believe him without questioning a word.

The only problem i can see with doing it in Hyde Park isn’t that its controversial or frowned upon (quite the opposite) but you will be competiing with a great deal of people doing the same due to speakers corners etc, when I was at uni all the yoghurt weavers/lefties would meet up there for protest marches. This makes it hard to think up something unique.

I would personally have gone for a more random area of London – however you do have the advantage that there the special feds they have are far more likely to accept its a teenagers prank and in line with a tradition of public speaking in this area (and be more concerned over the heavier political speakers), whereas in a suburban local area rentaguards/borough metpol units are going to think its something to do with the urban music scene / “mc’ing” and that you are trying to start beef with rival gangs and at the very least move you on/discourage you (plus there might be genuine safety risk to yourself). Which is a shame as there is more comedy value in picking a less popular/obvious target.

try reloading the page. there are odd random things happening with the forum (for instance my computer was behaving like scroll lock was jammed on and it wasn’t).

there used to be a roundabout around Crystal Palace where 4 separate boroughs met in the middle, which (if you could get into the middle of it without being knocked down) had potential for all manner of pranks but I had a look on Bing aerial photos (google doesn’t correctly deal with the complexities of UK geography) and the road layout there appears to have all changed and that roundabout is long gone, replaced by a number of smaller ones on even busier main roads….

there’s an acsidental shortcut (well i only ever use it acsidentaly) that if you press on a web page it’ll change scroll mode to mouse activated .. not sure if that’s what you are describing.

There’s a place in america what has like 5 or so states all meeting in one point iirc

yeah daft if someone posts when your in the thread and it comes up new the like doesn’t come up until it’s refreshed.

Just say Kicke’em nobbers in the face!
