What was your minute of mayhem?

Last week saw the death of Malcolm McLaren, a man whose business model was based on anarchy and controversy. Today, McLaren was buried in north London and his family asked that people mark his passing with a "minute of mayhem" at midday. Here at guardian.co.uk/music, we played Soweto on full volume. Unfortunately, our office stereo is so lame that "full volume" meant "vaguely audible to the people on adjacent desks". Apologies for the mayhem fail – did any of you lot do any better?
