    I'm going to buy up a container full of latex gloves, balaclavas and various other 'riotous paraphernalia'!


    I will then set up a stall in the Grafton street area selling these items at vastly inflated prices! cos when this kicks off, the fan is going to hit the crap!


    Quick everyone, to your shelter!

    What sorts of riots have you been to? You sure you're not getting confusticated with orgies?







    If it's the latter, I'll take twenty boxes of latex gloves

    Terrible pitch, but I do see potential. I'll give you £10,000 for 40% of the company.

    With any luck, they might also throw a dictionary into the container before shipment.

    I'm going to bet 100 quid on Mozambique to win the next World Cup with Paddy Power.

    If they don't win, I'm just going to take my betting slip to the Dept of Finance and get them to pay me out instead.

    After all, it worked for Roman Abramovich!

    I think you should expand your enterprise to include balaclavas, petrol bombs and sticks with nails in them.

    Don't think you'd make too much as I would just start the pre-riot looting at your container.

    There's a march in Dublin from Parnell Sq to Kildare St on Sat 4th Dec.
    Have a sneaking feeling it could turn a little "tense". Better get the stock in quick OP.

    Rioter: Dear Sir, May I have a pair of gloves, a balaclava and some 'riotous pariphenlia' similar to a board with a nail in it?
    OP: Certainly, that shall be €100.
    Rioter: Thank you. [Puts on balaclava]
    Rioter: Now I'll have that €100 back please? [Waves board with nail]
    OP: Aaaaah. I did not think this through.
