[Closed] Anyone up for a revolution?

Can't we wait a couple more months until they really fk things up?

Why not? I'm not doing anything this afternoon.

[edit]Just remebered that I've got to sort out a wonky wardrobe door so I can't make it comrades. Punch a toff for me.[/edit]

Anyone got a DIY Revolution guidebook?

Didn't know this lot were still going but it's kind of nice that they are and they still have some very angry/moronic followers judging by the comments on the youtube page.

<burrrp>

Hold up, let me drink a bit more Cobra so's we can make some Molotov cocktails..........oooh, cocktails anyone?

I'm already revolting.

Isn't it treason to even talk about revolution? - mind you don't twitter it!
(waits for the legal eagles)....

Best make the revolution a successful one then.

oooh, cocktails anyone?

Make mine a Tom Collins.

Done it already.

Just got to paint the loft hatch in my daughter's bedroom, fix the faulty tile in the kitchen and put another shelf in the airing cupboard. After that I'm all yours.

Need to get shift on though cause I've got a pile of ironing to do tonight.

Mines a gin and tonic, more gin less tonic

The revolution will not be televised, although it will have RSS and Twitter feeds.

Revolution is futile. You'll only replace one lot of people who don't know what they are doing with another lot.

What are you planning to replace the current government with?

I'll have a new years revolution......last years was great (todmorden cross)

I don't think the Karl Marx bar stocks gin? And CFH is barred from revolutionary activities for obvious reasons...... 😉

Sorry, we don't use Gils anymore,

dunno, but a vote of 'no confidence' in the current gubbmint would go down nicely.

I'll join in - for the animals (see thread re animal welfare)

I thought we worked this out before.

I'm prime minister, Ernie lynch gets work and pensions, CFH gets the foreign office, TreeMagnet defense, Elfinsafety home office..............

FO? A very clubabble position, TJ, I can handle that. Now, where's my drinks cabinet?

I'll take the Dept of Health.

Either you let me join your party TJ, or I'm gonna get Awesome Mat and Ton and stage a coup...

What portfolio Sir? Agriculture and fisheries?

CFH gets the foreign office

You mean CFH gets gruel in the Gulags.

Although I reckon it's only fair that a man of his standing should have a drinks cabinet to keep it in.

Give them a chance, thatcher took at least a year before she closed all the mines, and destroyed the industrial base, and sold most state assets off.

🙂 @ Ernie!

Culture Media and Sport please.

And I want to be a mod on here too.

No way Flashy can be in it. He'd cave in at the first sight of blood. Unless it was foxes'.

Home Office? Does that mean I'd be in charge of Law and Order, the Police and Prisons and that?

Excellent....

(Scampers off to draw up plans for an Elfinstasi...)

And I want to be a mod on here too.

Don't be getting ideas above your station now...

Surely that'd be allowed if I'm in charge of culture an' that.

I reckon I'd be pretty good with propaganda and indoctrination.

Fine TSY kultur it is

can I have environment or foreign aid?
Can I have a cabinet sourced from sustainable forests full of fairtrade alcoholic beverages?

Quals! nce 1 Teej, am gonna do massif fings! Woop Woop. lolz lolz

Sorted Junkyard

There is only one way, that I think, it could succeed!

Does that mean the Tories will be looking for volunteers to help them put down the revolution?

Elfinsafety, last sighted on day three of the uprising - me wearing a hat, getting in some target practice:

Yeah, in your dreams, toy soldier boy.

Have you been to see anyone about your anger issues yet?

Fantasists like you can't handle it when up against real threat. You'd soil yerself and be found cowering in a basement somewhere.

What we need is a name for our party and a slogan or two. Any ideas?

If you are allowing Flashheart to have a portfolio, you could be the Socialists, Toff and Workers Party...

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

I think it's a great idea, then when you all turn into maniacal ****in despots (to be fair most of you are nearly there already) we can have uprising number two and [s]kill the lot of you[/s]. give you a telling off

Yes I say we call our selves the Kindred and that we focus on quality of life and getting our hands on resources.

Rather than asking the rich not to steal from us or to stop destroying the world, we out smart them in business and remove all the power that they have.

I'd say we have about 8 years to do it in before there is no chance for humanity and the planet is destroyed.

Kindred Monster Raving Maniacal Despot Party it is then.

This revolution malarky will I actually have to do anything?

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Just stick him in a cage in yer office then? Poke him with a stick from time to time. Sounds a bit cruel? Nah, Flashy wouldn't think so. He voted Tory after all! 😀

What if we did rebel?

How much would it cost and would it be possible to live away from everything?

😐 oooh........first tactical error

[i]"Death solves all problems - no man, no problem"[/i] Joseph Stalin

Death solves all problems - no man, no problem" Joseph Stalin

yep he solved about 750000 problems that way

Are there any MTB communities, where people simply make the money they need to live and then spend the rest of their time enjoying life, surely somewhere someone has rebelled and escaped the ratrace?

What if we did rebel?

the rebellion would be put down.. or.. civil war and guerilla skirmishes and terrorist attacks and anarchy.. followed by mob rule.. then more civil war.. leading to [i]really bad[/i] bullies being in charge rather than silly rich spoilt ones.. followed by more war.. with UN peacekeepers and stuff..

lets start tomorrow

EDIT: ahhh.. you [i]actually[/i] mean what if we dropped out..

do it.. it's ace.. very good for the spirit and for clarity of mind.. enriching and enlightening..

Indeed.

couldn't we all just have a nice cup of tea and chat instead?

I have a cousin-in-law who met his wife while backpacking around India. After a few years together there they then spent six years together backpacking in South America. They and a small like-minded group of fellow travelers then returned to the US with a plan - they worked all out for a year and a bit, whatever jobs they get while continuing to live in a frugal backpacking way. They then pooled all the cash they had and bought a chunk of land in Alaska and an electricity generating windmill. That was seven years ago.

They built earth houses on the land - houses which are still serving most of them fine - but when my CiL's wife got pregnant (five years ago now) they decided they needed something more permanent (for want of a better word). They got an old school bus towed onto the homestead, half buried it for insulation purposes and now call it home!

They get seasonal odd jobs working for highway maintenance crews and the like to bring in cash, but they are largely self-sufficient. They're certainly not part of the rat-race, but their life is not one I could live full-time. Nice to visit though!

So yes, definitely possible (except that it's not a mtb community, of course...).

But do all the women have hairy legs on this commune?

Fullbush Commune.

hairy eyeballs too

*waves*

I wasn't thinking about dropping out or living in a hut, although it doesn't sound too bad!

More having a good amount of money and managing it effectively, let's face it, if we had our own pub, we would save a fortune, if we had our own garage, we would save a fortune, infact the list of ways that we could be more effective with money/resources is endless.

But you guys are right, let's wait for the government to sort the sh1t out. It's not like the longer we wait the more likely our species will become extinct 😯

Yep! It really is about time we stood up and were counted.

People don't seem to demonstrate these days, what's wrong with folk?

Nothing. Just a bit worried something might happen on here in my abscence. Not left the house in 4 weeks now. Got my sleep down to 3.47hrs.

TSY - you need to stay away from those dating sites. It's not good for one's health and sanity!

Is my daughter at your's?

TSY

I thought she was at yours?!

I bet she's out on the tiles again, slipped us both a lie!

Re those sites I think you're right. Possibly more addictive than this place.

Tazzy - don't make me take another thread OT... don't you know what we're talking about...

You say you want a revolution.
Weeell, you know, we all want to change the world.

sorry, back on track

what the hell is going on. I've been poncing about decrying boutique bikes while you lot are reverting to a houseful of art students. This place is like a time warp.

How's the family, Kimbers? All doing well? 🙂
