What I’m Seeing

 I awoke with that horrible feeling that I was missing something; I turned to find my lovely assistant grunting sweetly beside me.  So it must be something else.  I donned my silk smoking jacket and fluffy mules and padded out to the garage.

  The bottom fell out of my world when I realised what was missing.  My Mojo was gone.  Some lowlife had had away with it during my slumbers.

  In its place was a child like scribbled note in green crayon on the back of an Anne Summers receipt for a pair of studded black leather shorts from their “Big Boy” range

It read:  

Kevin,

  We have your Mojo.  If you want it back then be in Marrakech on the 19th and all will be revealed.

   Love and kisses,

  Wild Bill Hiccup and Ali Bar Bill.

The sound of an alarm clock ringing on a Sunday morning is a cruel unnatural thing. The bike was packed the day before and I’d been writing lists and checking things twice and three times to make sure I’d remembered everything.

CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS GO INTO ADMINISTRATION

What is the point of cheese and onion crisps?

ADMINISTRATORS were called into cheese and onion crisps last night as the classic flavour became the latest high profile victim of the recession.

The demise of cheese and onion came at the end of a black day for the British economy which also saw the collapse of conkers, pick'n'mix and a nice pot of tea.

City analysts say cheese and onion was unable to compete in a market filled with radical new flavours including Double Gloucester and red onion, Stilton and shallot, and vintage cheddar and onion chutney.

Bill McKay, head of crisps at Madeley-Finnegan, said: "The thing I'll miss most about cheese and onion is how it masked the stench of stale urine that pervades every inch of this Godforsaken shithole of a country.

"But unfortunately it had begun to look very old fashioned alongside modern British brands such as celebrity cock fights, alco-puke, casual racism and sex with strangers in the back of a Vauxhall Vectra."

He added: "For brands to survive these days they have to adapt. Conkers involved two humans in the same place with no electronic devices.

"And who wants a nice pot of tea when you can pay £1.75 for two square feet of boiling foam?"

Administrators are hopeful that parts of the flavour can be salvaged and have already spoken to Waitrose about incorporating it into a new batch of Hand Smoked Gorgonzola and Vietnamese Chive.
