Jolly good.

We aren't being let in or out of the building, for our own safety. We aren't sure exactly what the protestors are protesting against, but they have a head on a stick.

Superb.

ETA: Even better. I've just gone for a look out of the window; the "dangerous protestors" are in fact 6 portly middle-aged people in silly wigs and purple polo shirts carrying a coffin painted with the Union Jack. Oooo, scary.

Idiots.
Hang on, if you can't get in, how are you posting this? By phone?
Whose head?

We were being let in earlier; it's a recent thing.

It's one of the Terrible Three's, possibly Blair's. Unfortunately, I think he's either using his spare one, or is continuing to talk out of his arse and therefore it hasn't put a stop to the whole thing.

Ah.

Heh.

Is there any way you can phone in sick tomorrow?

*worries*

Unlikely (and I can't really work from home, either). It shouldn't be too dangerous though; the protestors don't like gettiing up early enough to be a problem in the morning, at least.

Don't worry; should anything happen, I'll be sure to find an internet cafe and post a scathing incoherent rant, followed by a drunken Whee!NoMoreOffice! one...

Remove the head of someone you work with and stick it on the end of the golfing umbrella that lives in every office. That plus chino's will make Them think You are one of Them.

I preferred [livejournal.com profile] pmoodie's idea of turning uop in fancy dress. I would just not wash, but I think I've left that a bit late for it to be effective before Friday (when I'll be in London).

Perhaps you could find something to roll in, the weather here is awful and I'm sure I could get filthy if I mucked about in a park.

No one would notice if you did fancy dress in London.

I'd be using this as the best excuse in the world for not going to work, and I'm quite loyal :-s

Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but it's possibly the least scary demonstration ever. Day-old chicks would be more dangerous.

Don't be deceived by appearances Pudding! Portly middle-aged people in silly wigs and purple polo shirts are pure EEEEEEVIL!

Stay safe inside until you're absolutely sure they've left the area.

So are accountants & lawyers. *evil grin*
I went out for a sandwich and didn't see a single camera, protestor *or* bloated slug Prescott. I feel cheated.

Polo shirts are the deal breaker in my marriage. A man should have some standards.

[identity profile] pmoodie.livejournal.com 2006-09-25 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Too right! Silly wigs are one thing, but polo-shirts are a definite no-no.

*just off to check to find out what a polo-shirt actually is, and whether I own any...*

Nope! :)

I feel cheated too. I watched the news this morning and there was plenty of coverage of the Labour Party Conference, but no sign of you whatsoever!! :(

What the hell do I pay my license fee for??

Top Gear.

In response to your ETA...

Oh don't bother to phone in sick. Get down there and give 'em some advice on the correct gothic attire if they want to go carrying coffins around for fun. *nods*
