'Excuse me, but is that a crown of thorns above that fist?'
Last year, me and my mate Graham Hughes tried to think up of what would be funniest/most offensive flag for Glastonbury and see if we can get it on TV.

Now, to be offensive and funny in as few words as possible. It was easy being one or the other, but both? Surprisingly tricky. It took us several beers but we came up with a solution. Three simple words.

Fist.
Me.
Jesus.

And so it happened. dressed in dinner jackets and top hats we wandered glastonbury making the BBC's life a nightmare...

Anyway, we've been to pretty much every glasto since 1997 together, but sadly not this year. he's visiting every country in the world for charity but since last week he's been falsely imprisoned off the coast of senegal. www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jun/07/briton-arrest-santiago-cape-verde and is due to go to court today

It’s a shameless plug, but do check out his website. www.grahamdavidhughes.com/ Hopefully there will be news shortly & he can continue on his his odyssey.

Thinking of you buddy.

In fact
I just read that link and sounds scary for the lad. All the best to him.

Sadly all completely true
There's quite a few variants on the same story on the net.

Some of them refer to him as the 'irish' ringleader (he's a scouser). Must have assumed red hair + hat = Leprechaun.

His blog/twitter feed tells of the hassle he had chartering a boat to take him there in the first place.

I have absolutely every confidence it will get sorted though. It's just a waiting game at the moment.

Falsely imprisoned?
Does that mean that he hasn't actually been imprisoned at all?

Did he post on B3ta about this trip?
I'm sure I remember reading about him setting off.

Anyway good luck to him.

Awesome Flag
I often used your flag as a marker at Glasto last year whilst waiting for Hot Chip and Elbow to start, made me piss mysel laughing every time. Sincerely hope everything works out for your pal!

Was the flag orange? It sounds mighty familiar.
