| Slough Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air -conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales. sorry, always comes to mind when I think of Slough | |

| to point at hand...I guess Slough could always ban their workers from travelling to work in their cars for a day or something (sorry haven't done the maths there, but presume that would be more than enough) to offset their footprint... | |

| As far as I know, the Guy Fawkes night in Glasgow has never had a bombfire, just a fireworks display for as long as I have been going to it. (I may just never have been close enough to see it mind you) | |

| Looks like a precedent has been set.
At least the major one here is happening. I saw the bonfire already 50 feet high in the park today with a gang of kids dragging more stuff up to it. | |
