Revolution!
Last I heard of a particular gentleman was one morning when I went to work in the library and was told that he had been banned from using the computers at any library in Devon, and if he came in, we would have to ask him to leave, and if he didn't leave we had to call the police. I had also heard that First Bus had also banned him from using their bus services, which at the time was quite unfortunate given that they had the total monopoly of bus services in the area.

Now, to me, this gentleman was nothing other than a harmless nutter, but obviously Devon County Council begged to differ. I never saw him after this occasion I will now relay to you, but apparantly he was also agressive, had insulted staff and had also attempted to make passes towards the female staff (and rumour had it several of the male staff too).

But anyway, this one occasion, I was behind the library counter by the door, when this gentleman walked in, all 6 foot of him, wild red hair and beard, rucksack on his back and a Somerfield carrier bag in his hand, he stood right in the middle of the room, and announced in a loud voice:

"THE REVOLUTION IS COMING!"

and walked back out again.

My colleague was elsewhere in the library (the library at that time consisted of three rooms) and there was only one other customer in the bottom room by the door with me. They turned to me and said 'what the fuck was that all about?'

I said I didn't know.

Because I didn't.

I'm still waiting for the revolution though.

The thought did cross my mind as well...

(then again, I also have slight red tinges and am slightly mad - maybe it's a trait...)
