Melancholic Troglodytes Melancholic Troglodytes (meltrogs1@hotmail.com) is a collective of proletarians from different cultural backgrounds. We are involved in catering, painting and decorating and educational industries. We came to accept our inability to change things a long time ago. Our literature is read by very few and understood by fewer still. Nowadays we perform our ‘revolutionary role' without much conviction. But we do have a bucket-list (a list of things we want to do before we kick the bucket). The bucket-list keeps us going! Simon Worthington
