Chapter 1  
OK, you’re walking down the street, you and your mates Dave and Pete and some others, the names don’t matter. You come across an apple tree, and lots of rotting apples on the pavement. Your friends dare you to throw an apple at the house accross the road but you don’t do it because you’re not and irresponsible thug, your mum taught you manners and your dad consequence. Instead, you decide to put the apples in the bin. Your friends think you’re a loser and abandon you, hurling abuse at you in the process (too right too). You feel a little sad but because you’re a pathetic little twit you think ‘oh well, they weren’t propper friends anyway’ so you just put the apples in the bin instead. There are a lot of apples so it takes a few minutes till you fill the bin and then you go home.

Chapter 2  
A few hours earlier at the same spot, Charlie the tramp gets into a fight with some kids who have been trying to set fire to his beard whilst he was asleep. Charlie’s pulled out a knife and sent the kids scuffling. He knew there were people watching and the police might be called so he hid his belongings, including a 2 litre bottle of white lightning cider in the bin. He would come back for his stuff later, once everything had calmed down.

Chapter 3  
Mr Mellville, the head of refuse collections at the local county council was well pissed off. One of his supervisors, Jimmy Jones who is also a shop steward has just announced a binman strike following the unfair dismissal of a particularly lazy binman.

Chapter 4  
Two days later, the bins still haven’t been collected. Charlie’s been arrested and not given bail because he is under investigation for an old murder case, the apples have started rotting and their collective weight in the bin has broken Charlie’s cider bottle. The cider is now in contact with the apples, which have started fermenting.

Chapter 5  
Five monkeys (chimpanzees) have escaped from London zoo twenty hours ago and are roaming the streets of your area desperately hungry and thirsty. They now discover the apples which they proceed to eat. The combination of rotting, fermenting apples and cider makes them very drunk and the monkeys soon start acting in an unsocial way.

Chapter 6  
A group of lads, coming back from a football match drunk as skunks. They pass the chimps. Both groups are too drunk to be aware of each other until one of them asks a chimp for a light. The chimp reacts badly to this and a fight ensues. In the confusion, the lads become convinced they are being bitten by an opposing gang and call their friends. Their friends arrive too late as the chimps have all climbed up the nearest tree and have done a runner. However, by then (4 o’clock in the morning) all the neighbours have been woken up and one of them, Brian, is particularly pissed off because he has got to go to work in a couple of hours. Brian is an Aer Lingus pilot.

Chapter 7  
You’re coming back from school, hardly aware of the trouble your do-gooder actions have caused when you hear the news. An Aer Lingus plane has just crashed into a nuclear power plant in India.

Chapter 8  
Two hours before, Colonel Singh of the Pakistani army was walking along the Pakistani border measuring radiation, a daily duty. Unaware of the fact a plane had crashed into a power plant and presented with an alarming increase in radiation, he tried to contact his superiors in Islamabad. Unable to reach anybody (they had all retreated to the bunker) he assumed Pakistan had just been nuked by India. Now, it just happens that Cl. Singh’s brother in law, General Patel is responsible for Pakistan’s nuclear programme. One day’ when he was drunk, he gave Cl. Singh the codes. Cl Singh now decides to launch two warheads of his own accord (presuming everybody else is dead and having himself lost the will to live.

Chapter 9  
India responds, China gets involved, Russia don’t like it, pandemonium ensues, half the worls is dead SEE WHAT YOU’VE DOVE YOU GOODIE TWO SHOES?! WE’RE ALL DEAD NOW!

I thank you. :beam:

From where you see the ships afar,  
From a well trained eye,  
The waves all keep on crashing by,

Then you own the working class,  
But if you want the answers,  
You better give a piece of \*\*\*,  
Give a piece of your \*\*\*,  
Warning,  
Post hypnotic suggestions,  
Running the ships ashore,  
The orange light that follows,  
Will foon proclaim itself a god,  
If you point your questions,  
The fog will surely chew you up,  
But if you want the answers,  
You better get ready for the fire,  
Get ready for the fire,  
The ships are multiplying day after day sir,  
And they’re coming closer to the shore sir, shore sir,  
We need to evacuate the light post,  
It’s all over, it’s all over~~  
It’s all over  
The piercing radient moon,  
The storming of poor June,  
All the life running through her hair,  
Approaching guiding light,  
Our shallow years in fright,  
Dreams are made winding through my head,  
Through my head,  
Before you know, Awake,  
Your lives are open wide,  
The V-chip gives them sight,  
All the life running through her hair,  
the spiders all in tune,  
The evening of the moon,  
Dreams are made winding through my head,  
Through my head,  
Before you know, Awake  
Through my head, Through my head  
Before you know,  
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,  
Dreams are made winding through her hair,  
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

Ive found that B&Q plaster bonding adhesive is excellent - as tough and strong as concrete when dry, yet can be sanded down smooth and is also easy to make and work with, much nicer than cement or concrete.

I just wanna die  
I don’t want to wake up  
I don’t wanna cuz  
That’s the way that I feel  
I’m barely hanging on  
I don’t want to wake up

I made your life a living hell  
With my infidelity  
Remember your telling me  
All I give a \*\*\*\* about  
Is weed stems and melodies  
Remember you  
Spent 30 minutes in the hospital parking lot  
Crying  
When the blood test read  
The baby of another woman was mine  
99.99  
You should’ve left  
Along time ago like Mary J. say  
Just let it go like Ray J.  
Con’t  
I know your mamma heard  
You yelling mayday  
Spent my life trying to R-A to the P  
You sick of me  
Always bein’ B to the R-O-K to the E  
Now there’s nothin’  
Else left of me  
I was a bum  
But you still wanted some  
Through the rain, snow and thunder  
Foul ups , bleeps and blunders  
But no man shall tear asunder  
Is what you said  
You should’ve put multi bullets  
In my head  
When you found that evil  
Instinct was a song  
Where the events actually went on  
This is the letter  
To my homie, my friend  
Who put up with me for 8  
So now to take me  
Really quickly is my fate  
I’m sorry  
For making it hard  
I know your scarred  
I’m losing my mind  
So now it’s time  
Sincerely sign  
N9ne

You two are the reason  
Why I’m still standing today  
But I’m 1600 miles away  
And you get my heart sinkin’  
When I start thinkin’ about you babies  
I heavily start drinkin’  
On a daily puffin’  
I’m seeing my heart  
I gots to toughin’  
Can’t see me leavin’ my angels with nothin’  
So I keep bussin’  
Use my pain for you two  
I’ve gotta come up in the game  
So one day you can do the same with yours  
Love you galore  
And I ain’t playin’  
makin’ me put an end  
To this suicidal mind state sayin’

I don’t want to wake up  
I don’t wanna cuz  
That’s the way I feel  
I’m barely hanging on  
I don’t want to wake up  
I don’t wanna cuz  
That’s the way it has to be

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies  
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

The signers of the Declaration represented the new states as follows:  
New Hampshire:  
Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton  
Massachusetts:  
John Han\*\*\*\*, Samual Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge Gerry
