Which brings to mind that old joke, from circa `Come on Eileen': Dexy's
Midnight Runners didn't tour, they were just moved on every night.

I think, however, if you were going to really wind up The Man, you'd
make some careful checks on the provisions of the Official Secrets Act
1911 as amended and the Wireless and Telegraphic Communications Act 1948
- --- after all, any fool can get arrested, the cool thing is to _not_
break the law --- and travel with your vehicle equipped with an array of
cameras, aerials, scanners and suchlike.  Do a live webcast of any
mullarky with GSM and a laptop.
