Hahaha. It looks like they're about stretch him and catapult him across the room.Also I though as it's a bible compo I'd share my preacher story.
There was this deranged old Australian bloke who had clearly come on holiday to England to preach loudly in the streets, specifically outside EC road tube station.
About two weeks in we were getting annoyed at him as he was the sort of preachy preacher who thinks it's their roll to point at people who may dress a bit differently or look a bit different and shout that they were going to hell or that they were sinners.
I came up with a plan. I procured five longhaired wigs sandles and cut head holes in the centre of some sheet.
Myself and a couple of guest then donned out Jesus costumes, walked round to the back entrance of the station, walked through to the front and out behind Mr. Preachy McPreach.
He was preaching away and people started to laugh as he now had five Jesuses standing behind him in the 'arms apart' position. Their laugher only madde him angry and I think started to eat at his self confidence and it only got worse as he continues.
He finally turned round and did a classic double take. After ranting at us in a blind fury he then moves on to preach somewhere else.
Half an hour we followed that guy. He gave up in the end and never came back again.
:)

I'm actually surprised it didn't end up as a viral so there were enough people around with camera phones. riverghost servicing your mum since,

Matthew was that tall?Yeah I've always liked the irony of street preacher that go round damning people as judging is a sin.
There was a guy that used to preach on the district line and was verbally quite agressive about it. He even had a megaphone he used for outside the trains. He is actually the only person who has an asbo restraining him from the entire tube network.
