Digbeth O’lympics 09 « John Mostyn’s Blog – John’s account of the Digbeth O’Lympics last year. It has some great photos of the bizarre fun, such as the cardboard coracle race, welly wanging and the soapbox race. But most importantly, it has this film of John announcing the Free State of Digbeth.

The Free State of Digbeth has no constitution. It has no geographical boundaries. It is the most powerful of all states – a stare of mind…

Ask not what Digbeth can do for you, but what you can do for Digbeth.

The Free State of Digbeth « Steve Coxon – Old Custard Factory resident Steve Coxon looks at the Digbeth O’Lympics and the Free State of Digbeth from afar (well, Moretonhampstead) and concludes our rebelliousness is what makes us great:

If you want to know what makes a city great, you have to search out places such as Digbeth. It is in these places that you’ll find the most original ideas, interesting art, the free thinkers and the dangerous minds.

You know, the sort of people who planners and bureaucrats hate because they refuse to mould themselves meekly into the meticulously sanitised and nondescript schemes of braindead city planners.

Rise up!
