Something I'd love to do at the moment when a group of students refuses to be shushed. Think Basil Fawlty...

*point to books* - - - - - - - - - This library.

*point to clearly worded sign* - - This silent study area.

*the next step is obvious* - - - - This smack on head.

*run away feeling much better*

A strange choice, but if I could draw well I would like to do a modern version of the Bayeux Tapestry in the style of the original but based on modern event such as the Falklands War or 9/11.

Going back to the whole dealing with people who litter theme, I once really did do what I always wanted to do. The chap opposite me on the tube dropped his chocolate wrapper and drink carton on the floor. Mine was the next stop, so as I got up to get off, i picked up his rubbish, put them on his lap, and said sweetly 'Don't forget your litter!' before, frankly, legging it (so I have no idea how he reacted).

I wish I was brave enough to do it all the time.

Spinks, the Bayeux tapestry idea is very cool indeed. Can I help? I'm quite good with a needle.

Madbeachcomber, I've done my spring cleaning, does that make me sad?

I spent several minutes in the pouring rain tonight picking up chip papers and alcopop bottles from opposite my shop.They had been dropped by kids that quite frankly I think should have been in bed at that time of night not roaming the streets. So I would like to go and see the parents of these little darlings and tell them what their kids have been doing and then give them a hefty fine for not giving a damn about what their kids get up to, a fine that will double if their kids do it again. Iknow it wouldn't make a jots worth of difference but it would make me feel betersmiley - erm

Agapants, I think it's one of those things I'll never get round to. smiley - sadface

Also, if I was very very good at painting I would like to do famous paintings in the style of other artists. Maybe the Haywain in the style of Van Gogh, or Sunflowers in Constable style. I think they'd have good novelty value.

I actually did something that ought to go in this thread...

Was queueing to get into a concert (Franz Ferdinand at London Astoria smiley - smiley), and there were loads of random people walking up and down and giving people in the queue leaflets. I got fed up with this and when one of them turned after giving me some I slipped all the leaflets I'd been given into his pocket and he didn't notice smiley - yikes.

smiley - laugh
I like to stuff unsolicited mail {with my name & address removed of course} into envelopes provided by other unsolicited mailers, and post it to them.

Things I won't do:
See current journal.
I would love to tell the vaccine-manufacturers' Solicitors to stuff their offer of "closure" where the sun don't shine, but I won't. That little word "costs" frightens me to deathsmiley - skull

Before I die I would like to sleep with a woman, or a couple, or a couple of men, but I won't.

smiley - chicken

I *have* challenged smiley - dogowners who have left a steaming packet on the pavement at the front of my home.
But it's almost always given me the about-to-have-a-heart-attack feeling, collecting litter is preferable than having to clean up smiley - dogpoo!

I would like to go blonde...just to see what I look like...but I won't. My hair is too dark and I'd have roots showing tomorrow!!!!smiley - yikes

Fill a bucket with Marks and Spencer's cheesecake and see if I really *could* scoff the lot as I always so I could.

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

Dress up in a badger costume and wear a badger hat and badger shoes and badger pants for the London Summer meet.... I probably won't be able to find such things, or afford them if I could, and I'm not good at making costumes smiley - ermsmiley - sadface I might have to settle for a daft linen suit instead smiley - erm

2legs if you turned up in a badger suit, then we would have to find someone to dress up as a mushroom and someone to dress up as snake. Or is the Badger suit to be used for the Badger Parade.
