doing that sort of thing always gives you a sense of achievement, as opposed to sitting on your big ass eating crisps and watching the TV which is all i've managed to do today.

there is a cannon taken from a ww2 uboat in the park near where i grew up, excellent bit of kit but 1 year someone painted the whole thing pink. i was a kid at the time but remember the outrage it caused.

irony i think you should sneak back and paint it red
