This is gloriously funny! I was grinning the whole way through. And now I think there should be a little series with this guy doing a one-man resistance movement, fucking with places that insist on doing zero hours con tricks.

And it should be included in one of those anthologies of little humorous stories. It's that good!

i was toying with extending it so that it became a huge viral international thing of vermin based sabotage but I did actually have to do some work today and it seemed a good place to stop. glad you think it was funny. the croutons line was my favourite. i sniggered at my own joke. i know that's self indulgent.

I always snigger at my own jokes. Partly why I love writing them. We should definitely be self-indulgent because it's good for us.

You should do more writing at work - instead of work lol. I hope you didn't get in trouble.

One of my favourite lines, or descriptions, rather, was when Debs got caught in the pigeon storm and you suggested it was like a strobe effect. That was really quite cool.

But there were so many great lines in this one. More please!

i was indulging myself with my glorious glittery Hitchikers guide last night and the humour rubbed off a bit I think.

Yeah - those books are so re-readable. And funny every time. It's partly that kind of humour where you are expecting the joke and you know what's coming and start sniggering before you even get there.

Thanks Mariella! I enjoyed writing it a lot... sort of wished it really was me and that i was doing the pigeon sabotage in front of mcdonalds and all of them and sparking an international pigeon feeding craze.

i really enjoyed writing it and of course as a sandwich loving anti capitalist, franshisee hating anarcho rebel at heart, I put myself in it. give yourself the best parts, that's what I say.
