More Capping

Although scarcely to be believed, there are a few students who are still prepared to attempt to "fuck the system". The idea was to divert all Karori traffic down Glenmore St, and then down Tinakori Rd and Hill St, so as to have a grand meeting of the morning rush hour traffic of Karori, Northland, Kelburn, Wadestown etc as well as all the motorway traffic at the uncontrolled intersection of Murphy and Hill St.

So they set about 'preparing' the necessary drums and signs -until the 'good citizen' saw, and rang Central - "you would have wouldn't you?"

So in the final minutes struggling up Tinakori Rd with the last load of 6"X3" 'Detour' signs, the way was suddenly blocked by cop cars from three directions.

The uniformed branch see the joke..

The C.I.B. arrive, say, "Theft".

The uniformed branch forget they've seen the joke.

The night in the cells.

Remanded in court.

Civil War in Waring Taylor St, Commissioner tells C.I.B. they're stuffed.

Next court session charges withdrawn.

So next capping do your bit, hinder the sedition of our society -(unless you have already gone under) -it will boost your ego.
