so did anyone get anything messy for christams and new year?

Of course I agree with the outraged replies. Fake charity events are illegal here too and hitting anyone in the street with a pie is assault (I asked a policeman once!).

I am not going to be nasty about it though since I suspect the suggestion was a naive one rather than a malicious one.

The good news is that nice women are often into the idea of getting messy as chats with them in the pub and occasional ads in the local paper have proven.

Well I went to a filming of Noels House Party in Battersea Park back in 1996 and there members of the public were asked to take part. People had to search through giant paddling pools filled with balls for a token that would allow them into two phone boxes. Once inside the phone boxes they had to dial the correct number to win a prize, being allowed as many tries as possible. There were two contestants in two phone boxes. The one who got the number first won. The other got gunged. By the way it was an attractive woman who got gunged.

In my suggestion the members of the public will be told at the very last minute that gunge was involved. How it would work would be a couple of people dressed like charity workers preferably women as people are more likely to stop for women, would accost attractive women in a high street and ask if they would like to take part in a charity event. They would then take there phone number or address or email and contact them at a later date.

Then those female members of the public who had agreed to take part would be invited to the splosh studios where they could see what looked like a charity style event was arranged involving gunge. I am sure it would work as people will do loads of stupid things for charity. I don't think that fake charity events are illegal if no money is asked for. It also doesn't have to be a charity event. It could be a fake TV show that people are asked to attend. Also they would not be gunged against their will. They would see at the very last minute that they would be gunged and would be allowed to back out.

We'd still rather go for willing participants from the outset.

What people will do for national TV with the possibility of a big cash prize as House Party offered, and what they'll do for a website for rather less money are somewhat different. We'd rather they knew from the start.

PS I also seem to recall some news story about a guy who was getting people messy claiming they were doing a charity stunt, and if nothing else got questioned by police. We don't need that hassle. Besides, everyone knows what we do!

IIRC, that happened in Edinburgh on the 2005 Children In Need day. Someone went into a shop (poss a shoe-shop?) and told the shop workers he was doing a stunt for Children In Need, and persuaded a young woman to take her shoes off and let him pour something (beans, IIRC) over her feet. After he'd gunged her feet he fled, and the police were later said to be looking for him.

The other thing to remember is that NHP wasn't a fetish event. Ok, the producers may well have known there was a minor fetish element to it for a small minority of viewers, but they weren't producing a fetish show, they were producing what was at the time the BBC's premier family entertainment show with one of their most popular presenters. The gunge was just a part of the overall humour. Very different to a WAM interest.

The splosh team could always contact a genuine local charity event and offer to supply gunge for their event and set up a gunge tank or similar for them. That way it is totally legit.

True, and there are probably some events that would be happy to raise some money that way - though TBH from my POV they'd need to know that there was a fetish element, otherwise it's not fair on the participants - but setting it up would cost, as would the supplies. Possibly something a group of people could put up the funds for?

thats the same kind of thoughts a kidnapper or murderer often has.

this worries me greatly.

Hmm I say nothing in case it looks like I'm just having a go, does take me back to the pm from Chants and Cedes before the last London get together. They also had issues with an indvidual attending.

In that plan the members of public would only be given a contact phone number or email at that point. They would then be invited to what looks like a genuine event with several other people there, ie from the splosh crew. It was only a penciled in draft idea. Like I said in later posts maybe contacting a genuine charity event or village fete might be a better option.

Maybe just doing it legitimately would be better still.

Bill and I have done GENUINE charity events so we don't need to lie about it, and we have always said photos may be used and if anyone objects to tell us beforehand.

These days I get about as far as the Post Office, pub and studio - all within a mile!

I didn't organise the event for Sticky Buns, we just filmed it. I have organised charity pub nights for National Association for Colitis and Crohn Disease though and I'm sure something could be done for them with a messy theme - but we would tell all the participants well in advance.

I told you before Wamdrogony was leading you astray.
You've got gout in your foot from the rich food they use to gunge you. :lol:

Seriously and jokes aside, a naff foot or leg can give more trouble than other naff things.
What with you have use either one to move around and all of your weight is on it.
Hope it gets better soon.

so did anyone get anything messy for christams and new year?
