That's pretty cool! I've actually been toying with the idea of going to the protest this weekend just to take a couple of photo's (apparently it will be London's biggest ever), but didn't know what to do with them if I did. On the other hand, public transport in and out will be a nightmare! Also, I'm far better with landscapes / nature, etc. Are you going this weekend? CP T-Shirts all round? :cool:

Throw in a bit of S&M or eye-ball sucking**-Paul Watson on the merits of swearing, sex and obscenities in CP posts** ...they assumed that reasonably intelligent adults would know enough to leave the building if it was burning. Those who did not were, presumably, expendable, and there was less paperwork involved than trying to fire them**-Roger Wright on fire drills at work**

Also involves those taking part more actively, they think about it more. There is an AIDs rally this Valentines day I may go and join. AIDs is a bigger problem than Iraq for us.

Will you be attending in the buff? It seems to be growing in popularity...:-D It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

I thought it was a specific call for the upcoming march. There terms and conditions is a bit strong, but I am in no position to complain :) Thanks for the link then Benjy.

Yeah, they just mentioned the war and the london marches as an example - If you photograph anything newsworthy then it's worth sending. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
