Has Anyone Seen Bob Tit?
After a wonderfully successful NO2EU - NO 2 DEMOCRACY Rally in The Old Maypole pub, Hainault on Monday night, Bob Tit went missing! Where is he? As the comments section below amply testifies, there were frantic attempts made to save Bob.
Unlikely as it may sound to the non-revolutionary lay-man, it appears Bob was swept away on a freak bore of ullage, ending up we know not how, in the Thames and then possibly onwards, onwards, bobbing out to sea...
We are in unknown waters here. Time is something we have very little of. No time for reflection or even to bother with elections! Action stations! All hands on deck!
Think John Stonehouse. Ophelia. The Owl and the Pussycat. Arthur Cravan. Reginal Perrin. Red Shelley. John Taylor the Water Poet, who in 1618 journeyed along the Thames to the Isle of Sheppey in a paper boat with 2 stockfish tied to canes for oars, for a bet.
Launch the flotillas, the catamarans, the coracles!
Bob Tit is out there somewhere!
This is the last photo of Bob after the rally on Monday. Typical Bob, telling another of his 'Red' jokes! Always the same punch line - 'Spreken de Deutsch Fraulein? Just speak into this! You hum it, I''ll play it!' And the whole pub sings the Dambusters theme - Dah da-da dah-da-da-da-da... What a card - a big, Bob, block bloke!
PLEASE COMRADES! FIND BOB TIT! DEAD OR ALIVE!
