Man Completes Monkey Nut Protest
Man Completes Monkey Nut Protest

A man protesting against student debt completed the bizarre stunt today of rolling a monkey nut seven miles to Downing Street using only his nose.



Crawling on his hands and knees, Mark McGowan nudged the nut over a kerb and up the steps to the famous black door of Number 10.

(snip)

Mr McGowan, who was wearing a grubby plaster on the tip of his nose, was applauded by a nearby policeman as he finished his task and was handed a mug of tea from inside the building.

(snip)

Describing his journey, he said: "The streets were dirty. There was hair and spit and bird poo. There were unmentionable things."

(more)

Gotta hand it to this guy. And to whoever it was at Number 10 that gave him a cup of tea! :)

2. Ha!
Five freakin' minutes, matcom beat me by!

I'd say "delete, dupe" but frankly I can't see anyone really wanting to reduce the number of "monkey nut" thread titles. :)

"That monkey's nuts! Grab 'em!!"
