1020pm Throw Bricks at Coppers:
Is this kind of thing really likely to improve people's impression of the London messenger community? Even assuming that it's a joke, it's in extremely poor taste.
Of course, if you want to be lumped in with all the other idiots who have nothing better to do with their lives than throw bricks at whichever authority figure happens to be passing then you're doing a great job.
