tech_guy Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) You may have seen the news story about Anthony Gormley's latest art project - 2400 people each standing for an hour, every day, for 100 days, on the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square: One & Other BBC NEWS | England | London | Housewife first on Fourth Plinth Well, on the 23rd July at 1pm I too will be a plinther! Can the world cope? I'll be sending a stream of consciousness during my hour to my Twitter account: Plinth_Man on Twitter Okay, Edugeekers - I need suggestions on what I can wear?! I'll happily wear it if you can provide it! Edited July 6, 2009 by tech_guy
tech_guy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Is it big? It needs to be big. Have you seen how small and high up you are on that plinth!?
localzuk Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Kilt!! Although, is it in the air? That might not work...
mattx Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Thats it, I'm taking a half day to come up and heckle.....
tech_guy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Please do, and bring rotten fruit and vegetables with you.
Ric_ Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 @DB: We can send some stickers too to adorn his body... we WILL get rid of the stickers eventually

CAM Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Hmmmm, I believe that is during the summer holidays for people in the LGfL area. I may have to pay a visit too. (What flies better through the air? A mouse or a keyboard?)
tech_guy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Suggestions so far include a kilt with a pair of coconuts swinging from my nether regions, and, a heavily bloodstained white suit with the caption, "Courtesy of the Met G20 Police"...
Busybub Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Please do, and bring rotten fruit and vegetables with you. Can we bring BRICKS???
elsiegee40 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Well, on the 23rd July at 1pm I too will be a plinther! Hmmm, Thursday lunchtime in the school holidays... sounds like a good excuse for a trip up from Kent to me! PS I can recommend the restaurant in the National Portrait Gallery (not the National Gallery) for eating... It's right on the top floor and has excellent views across the rooftops towards Trafalgar Square.
torledo Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Is it big? It needs to be big. Have you seen how small and high up you are on that plinth!? in your case, clearly not high enough.
mattx Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 How about dressing up as a giant pigeon and crapping everywhere.....? 3

tech_guy Posted July 7, 2009 Author Posted July 7, 2009 Why not do it when Im on holiday in London I think you need a big Edugeek banner to hold up as well as funky dress Sorry, but it's a condition of my parole that I don't wear women's clothing....

tech_guy Posted July 7, 2009 Author Posted July 7, 2009 wear a computer attach motherboards to yourself and make a cpu hat Hey that's quite a cool idea!
mrbios Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 If you have your ears pierced you could get a 12v battery and hang 2 fans from your ears with them running
Reaper Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 a heavily bloodstained white suit with the caption, "Courtesy of the Met G20 Police"... Ouch! ;-)
JJonas Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 @DB: We can send some stickers too to adorn his body... we WILL get rid of the stickers eventually If you are trying to get rid of them you can send me some stickers. Do you have window stickers?
Maz Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 How about dressing up as a giant pigeon and crapping everywhere.....? ... because his name isn't Phillip Schoefield. (For further information, Phillip Schoefield + Bo Selecta).
Michael Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Remember (whatever you decide to wear) you'll be up there for an hour Good luck
