Go Bananas for The Boomtown Rats?

Maybe a daft idea, but perhaps we could ressurect the tradition of inflatables in the crowd, and what would be more appropriate for the Rats than the inflatable banana...

Might be a bit intimidating for the ladies in the crowd, what with the bananas being seen as a symbol for something else. In reply to Ian, people have been saying that for years that Geldof has an inflated ego.

Those bananas might be the cue for the Rats to do Charmed Lives :'na na na na' etc, and we probably don't want to encourage them to do that.

I'd prefer a little furry toy rat, which you can check on google images if so inclined.

That's a good idea the only other inflatable conected to Geldof is an inflatable cucumber from the veggies time. We have one here in Room 19. But banana is perfect for the Rats and they are easy to get hold of still.

Any inflatable will do, as long as it's not too big. They have inflatable guitars, microphones, saxaphones and keyboards on eBay. They have inflatable penises to really intimidate the ladies. Whatever floats your inflatable boat.

Got the idea from the Wilko Johnson gig the other night when a beach ball got thrown around and thought it would be cool to have hundreds of bananas and other inflatables being thrown around the venues. Likely to work better at a standing venue.

Bananas are £1.75 (or less) on eBay.

Going by the Irish summers of the last few years, an inflatable dinghy might be in order for the Cork gig.

Ordered my banana for Cork. Could be handy when I'm sleeping at the airport.
