You must have all seen this article about the House Rape by now. Apparently this party was touted over the net as the secret Skins Party, that's a T.V. show, and 200 odd people turned up and then trashed the place. (Alright it wasn't the skins party but there are other ways to vent your disappointment.)

My favourite quote on this story is from the 'furious' mother stating that the family had 'disbanded' following the disastrous event. It sounds like her family is some kind of army unit.

Anyway I thought I would give the internet a chance to redeem itself. I'm currently sorting out my front garden, it needs allot of work and the neighbours have started commenting. I think they are worried about a possible negative effect on house prices. Unfortunately the hangover has got the better of me and I've kind of given up half way through.

So here is the deal I’m having the unofficial Gardens World/Ground Force party. I live in ** Road in London, walk down the road until you see a garden with this pile of weeds in the drive way.

Pile of Weeds

Grab a spade and get to work! It’s the front garden and I will only let you in the house if you’re not on acid or sumting, (reference to the Skins party invite). I’ll give you free beer. Go on Internet do something good.

Update: Several hours have passed and I've removed my address. Despite having 2 people view the site, so far, no one has arrived. My faith in humanity recedes ever further, it looks like I'm gonna have to do it myself.

Update 2: I got off my arse and finished the job off, very satisfying. My housemate Will assisted. There are well over a hundred houses in the street; I wonder what the combined contribution in house value we’ve just made. Even it was only 500 quid each that’s still 50 grand! Not bad for a days work.
