News report about two men attempting to chip bits off Stonehenge. Luckily they didn't get to do much before security stepped in.
It drives me mad, how selfish are these brainless idiots.
There's similar at Old Wardour Castle near me (where some of Prince of Thieves was filmed). It's stunning and you can roam the ruins, climb up quite high but all over the place people have carved stuff like "Ems woz 'ere 2003" etc.

I'm just wondering if we could re-enact some Stonehenge human sacrifice with these scrotes at the centre of the first performance....... :twisted:

Nah.... under pretext of restoring and preserving.. a huge domed covering.. remove the original stones.. replace them with aged new stones.. and of course new stones to "resotre" the structure.. move the original stones to Mars....

Moronic scumbags.
Can I chisel out some souveniers with a hammer and rusty screwdriver from their bodies?

...the worst cases I have seen are at Pompeii. Since the eighties large parties of school kids have been on regualr excursions to the site.....the result is predictable....."Claudio per Maria" grafitti'd in black paint across a delicate and already flaking priceless wall fresco. "Forza Milano!" daubed across another....
Doubtless all on RAT are of one accord on this subject.....

Let's be more merciful. We'll let them be pilum catchers. The way many of us throw, they're moderately safe, but just the threat should be enough to make them sweat a little, eh? And it would give us some real-life experience, too. We could give them different kinds of scuta, and see what happens when they get hit by our pila. No questions then, no excuses.

I imagine our accuracy would improve remarkably in this situation Dave!

Theres always going to be that type of person around no matter what!!A similar incident happened in Crete a few years back,some crowd actually destroyed a monument to fallen german paras.Just makes me sick!
Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.

Oooh! David! I like the way you think!
Pila and Ballista target practice! Niiiiice!
We'd need to take 'souveniers' of their feet first, make sure they don't run away. :twisted:

No, we just sow the fields with tribuli, and dig some lillies, and make sure it's in tall grass. Maybe a few blackberry brambles to make things interesting. :wink: Hey, think of the research we could gain!
Now who has a big backyard?
