Streets paved with gold
Sitting by the window of a pub with a nice drinkie in my hand, on a sunny afternoon, watching passers-by as they clock the £1.00 coin I have Superglued to the pavement outside, and then as they casually try to kick it to one side and pocket it.

Some of them simply will NOT give up and stubbornly keep kicking away at it, but the best ones are the ones that have a quick go, then walk on, before turning round and strolling past for another crack. And another. And another. Dead casual-like. All the while looking round to see if anyone's watching them, unable to see me in hysterics inside the darker pub.

OK, so some of them do win the £1, it obviously means a great deal to them to score a whole pound but they're welcome to it for making my sides ache during an afternoon drinking session.

This happened to me on my way to school years ago
I was skating along the pavement, noticed a quid down there and tried to pick it up. Fucker was superglued down, so I gave it a crack with my skateboard, and off it came with nary a whimper. Fucker was mine, Ha!

If this were in my town
I'd be tempted to go home for a hammer and chisel!

arrgg!
There's a table at college with money glued all over it. I didn't want to look like ANOTHER pratt trying to get it off though.

This has actually happened. The strange thing was that I didn't recognise the bloke as one of the ones who had unsuccessfully tried to kick it off.
He must have been wandering round town with a lump hammer and cold chisel on the off-chance. Maybe a Peter Sutcliffe Tribute Act?
