Happy Manic Roses
Juxtaposition is a great word. Just bung two or more things together to get some comedy value or combine some band names to make the ultimate 90’s group ‘Happy Manic Roses'

Rap and Surf?
How about the Beach Tang Clan?

How are watersheds used?
This is number 94 on the current google trends list. Well how would you use one? Would you try keeping your fish in it? Bathing perhaps? I think I’d use one to store my pumps.

Putin Dissolves Government
In at number 87 in the trends list. Did he? “Tired of your old Government? What to clean up those dirty rascals? Use Polonium-210.

Red Planet
Did I mention that my script for this competition bounced back? At least they opened up another email address and now the email says it’s SAFE!

Two Fun Characters
Jose and Alicante are two Mexican Bandits that I wrote in some sketches a while ago. The Juxtaposition? Well they’ve settled in Little Chalfont in Buckinghamshire to run a breakdown service and indulge in their favourite pastime, Cricket. They do have a tendency to menace and discuss leg side spin.*


INT/DAY
A SOFT FURNISHING STORE
MRS THOMAS IS ONE OF THOSE FORTHRIGHT ARROGANT CAREER WOMEN TYPES SMELLING OF CRABTREE & EVELYN SOAP AND THEIR OWN IMPORTANCE. BTW SHE'S JUST BEEN RATHER SNOBBY WITH THE NICE GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER.

ALICANTE:
(TO MRS THOMAS) You Laura Ashley.

MRS THOMAS:
Not quite.

JOSE & ALICANTE LAUGH

JOSE:
No my little brother mean you like a Laura Ashley printed frock.

MRS THOMAS:
I don’t follow.

JOSE:
You twee.

MRS THOMAS:
How dare you.

JOSE:
It easy. Alicante - The Sunday Telegraph Magazine!

ALICANTE PRODUCES THE MAGAZINE FROM HIS TROUSERS

JOSE:
Page fifty one - The Mock pearls.

ALICANTE FLICKS THE PAGES AND HOLDS UP A PICTURE MRS THOMAS FINGERS HER PEARLS

JOSE:
Page eleven - The comfy two piece that make you look like a girl again. And you only twenty-one.

ALICANTE FLICKS THE PAGES AND HOLDS UP A PICTURE MRS THOMAS LOOKS UNCOMFORTABLE

JOSE:
And page Seventy four - The discrete erotic body stocking with stretch panels.

ALICANTE FLICKS THE PAGES AND PRESSES HIS NOSE AGAINST THE PICTURE

JOSE:
ALICANTE!

ALICANTE STOPS LICKING THE MAGAZINE

MRS THOMAS:
I have never...

JOSE & ALICANTE:
We know - Laura Ashley.

MRS THOMAS ‘STORMS’ OUT OF THE SHOWROOM

ALICANTE SLOWLY INSERTS THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH MAGAZINE BACK INTO HIS TROUSERS

- END -

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
