So how old was the oldest person there? Just wondering if anarchists turn into something else when they get near 30...

some of us turn into anarchists...... wink

and i DID see people older than me

also i think i have also met Wayne when JDMF did, possibly at the bus station when we were on our way to HMP Forest Bank for a little mild activism. He was wearing a strangely attractive bright yellow jacket armed with a walkie talkie...

Hey Wayne, was that you??

So how old are you then?? I don't think I've ever seen an anarchist older than about 25. smile

I ain't telling you samjam. i'll give you a clue.. my eldest daughter is 22.

i was a little hippie freak at 15 although i was kinda political and hated people controlling me so I spent more time running out of school than in it. I was doing a three day week long after the miners gave up on it... so thats another clue. Left school at 16 with not much in the way of qualifications, started work in various shit jobs and started getting angry.. raising kids in thatchers britain on my own did nothing to improve my mood. theres only so many times as a single parent you can be blamed for the downfall of society before you start getting seriously pissed off

the rest is history

you and JDMF's combined age is younger than anyone in the youth wing of the SPGB, so look on the bright side wink

well it was nice seeing GB (who was in disguise as a trendy student so i didn't recognise him), jack (who's actually quite pleasant in person) and lazlo again (whose now joining the ranks of professional activism).

I didn't even become an anarchist until I was about 28.

So was I as cute as everyone expected?

All the girls who went wanted to sleep with me except Zobag who is probably a lezer. Kalashnikov Blues had dialectical hair. George's Bush lives with a porn star who thought Revol smelt funny. In an empirical study, seven out of ten London homosexuals preferred Wayne to Revol. Ed metamorphosised occasionally. Rkn looked like he should have been something to do with PGA. The Colchester lot sat alone debating their position on post-war Germany. Yrwelying shat it. Jess does not exist. Wayne colluded with fascism. The bar man described enrager users as "a couple of gays and a bunch of weirdos". Gav stays in Acknee and eats fancy French food like spaghetti. Jack the beheader really does look like the Taliban. Er... that was about it.

Basically, it was just a talking shop, we had the numbers to actually do something!

It's true...I paid someone $5000 to come to the Bookfair with me and pretend to find me interesting and pretend to have crackpot ideas about feminism.

I just thought that it was considerate of Wayne to leave his burberry at home for the day. wink

Since when has having the numbers to do anything ever amounted to more then having a few drinks, anyway?

No, I did want to sleep with you, which is why I left early for fear of not being able to control my hysterical feminine urges.
