Far be it from me to ignore a challenge from the almighty Dispatch!

However it was a bit too far for me to manage to remember the proper instructions to the challenge on such things as dates (hence why i now upload it oh so very close to the deadline. Curse my lack of internet i say!

It was on a sunny wednesday that my plan was hatched. With a invitation sent out to the beloved Meta Tron to join me on a large patch of grass with further plans to make stencils and paint t-shirts. However secretly i harboured the evil desire to present himher with.. a present. One so big and brash that it would be impossible to hide.

And what would i put inside such a large box? Well i thought to myself, i must stay true to mine and Metatrons BARTpa background. It must therefore be based on the idea of transport. It must aid the present-worthy Metatron in herhis travels through the sprawling metropolis of London. Feverishly i cast out the net through the city to find such a thing. My travels were not wasted as shortly i came across this beauty in a nearby shop.



It was perfect, it called to me, it berated me for not owning it, and for not immediately heeding its order to Bounce back to the 70s!.

And so i set about building said present on the said grass. It is about now that i point out my chronic inability to wrap any gift without much blustering and general todo. It was therefore rather a comic 3 hours that i spent infront of an audience of a hundred or so, trying to wrap a massive box without looking foolish.



Matters were made worse when the wind picked up and everything flew everywhere. But after some negotiation with the inanimate wrapping items, things were almost finally ready.



Yes i say almost as next came my plan to turn Metatron into a walking advert for sf0 upon receiving her gift and carrying it through the city. Never has the back of wrapping paper been put to greater cause.





And of course nothing says Big Brash Present like a big shiny star bow thing and ribbons.



I then scampered quickly to the local train station that i knew Metatron would be arriving at shortly. I placed the gift in prime location for her to spot, and then waited. It was around then that i started to notice a similarity between the box i had just created and placed suspiciously in a train station, and the boxes that received some attention in the press in the states some while back.. Oh dear.
I therefore decided to stick pretty close to my potential bomb package with its mysterious markings and to keep on making sure everyone knew very well it was mine.



I was not arrested.

And then Metatron arrived and the gift was presented!



Happy Present Day one and all!
