http://www.bobslayer.com Beards for Justice - I bumped into Harry Deansway at Edinburgh Fringe and he said "C'mere let's go see Jimmy Cricket on the BBC live comedy marathon..." It seemed like a right proper laugh So we texted someone and they replied and said "OK, what time are you on?" What time are we on? Well that seemed like a good idea! And there's more... After a few more drinks in Bannerman's we found some marker pens and card and we had our "The Fringe is Dead" and "Long Live The Fringe" protest sorted... Unfortunately we couldn't source any live Chickens which would have been nice. Harry said we were doing a very serious protest in the name of the Spirit of The Fringe. I agreed and added that we were also protesting the lack of protest at the Fringe. Some of the Audience thought we were protesting Pussy Riot... We will have that too... And many others were so pissed it just woke them up... only to throw up... It was a right good chuckle, happy if it stirs up some more interesting debate, although really the main thing it is likely to do is send Mr Spank to my Botty Land... Andrew Maxwell's response is our favourite... x Some images of Harry and I with our signs here http://www.bobslayer.com/photos/bob/ ...more
