Red for Number 10

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

After 270 years of black, Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair has announced that he wants the door to No 10 to be painted red. The red is apparently to be associated with the Labour Party. One MP said that "there are some things you can't put a good spin on and this clearly politicises one of the most powerful images in British democracy". The move had not been previously announced and shocked onlockers stared as workmen hoisted the door onto the hinges at the entrance to the Prime Minister's resdience. An American tourist, Earl Myers said that he "can't believe Mr Blair has changed one of England's most famous landmarks. George Bush would never paint the door of the White House a different colour, even with the stars and stripes." There are infact two doors to No 10 which alternate to be cleaned thourougly, and it is unclear whether or not the other door is red too, or whether red and black will alternate. The door has always been black, apart from between 1908 to 1916 when Herbert Asquith painted it green. A design consultant, April Fewell said that it is "a significant declaration of personal ownership by Tony Blair. But it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the street."

I hope this talk dosen't get to political.

but i think its tradition for 10 downing street to be painted black, not red.

Well, that's a shame. I can see uproar over this one.

OMG, this is terrible. Painting the front door red, the colour of the Labour party!

Just noticed your message fosterK. Wonder how many more will fall for it.

Ugh, I actually thought this was serious. But I'm thinking April Fools.

I agree, what happens if the liberal democrats win the next election, 10 downing street will be painted yellow!!!

Either the PM is taking part in the traditional 'April Fools' or he is very serious...

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see my red door and it has been painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun

My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Yeah!

[Micah 16]

Haha, that's a good one. I was planning of playing an April Fools joke about a Jack-Rabbit (which is a hoax-animal) getting trapped in Central Park... but I decided not to.

I missed wikipedias april fools stuff because my brother was hogging the computer all morning... I saw that on CBC, about april fools from the past. People asked how to grow their own spaghetti trees and BBC said to plant a can of spaghetti and meat balls and hope for the best I wonder how many did..
