(c) Feb. 1991

For Miss T. Boreham

Sketch 1. Cock Sucker.

Announcer : And that will be after we take some commercials here on your local ITV

station.

GRAMS : Mcdonalds music

Commercial : Yes, here at McDonalds, we are not only just pleased to serve you food

which an Ethiopian would probably turn his nose up at, but because of

our intensive training for staff, we have reached a new high in

slimeyness. And you thought the off green gunge we put on out burgers

was disgustingly slimey, well we would even now put it to shame.

Commercial : Here's Fred. Say hello Fred.

Fred : Hello Fred, How can I help you?

Commercial : (Forced) Ho ho ho!. Now Fred, could you tell me how our training

courses are in rough terms?

Fred : Will that be with Fries?

Commercial : (Forced - more!) Ha ha ha, yes. Fred is one of our brighter male

assistants. But for the Girls, it is quite different. We have included a new

item on the bill. Here is June and she is about to serve a customer.

June : Well, I fell that Brecht summed up the futility of the whole of human

existance up in his wonderful book, "Why do you always pee in the

swimming pool?"

Staff : Yes, I supposed he did. Oh God, look out, another dosy customer.

June : Hello Sir, how can I help you?

Cust : A Big Mac and Fries to go

June : Small, medium or large Fries?

Cust : Oh, erm, better make it a large as I'm going to have to have something

to eat once I've spewwed up the burger

June : Anything else sir? A milkshake, fizzy drink or blow job?

GRAMS : "THATS THE DIFFERENCE AT McDONALDS YOU'LL ENJOY!"

Sketch 2. The Bleech Monster

Ben Elton Voice all the way through - previous title : Madness 1.

Loony/manic cheers and whoops.

Don't adverts strike you as sometimes being, well, just a bit silly?. Take that Domestos

one. How does it go?. "Kills 99% of all known germs DEAD". That's all well and good,

but what about that remaining 1%?. Is it an unknown germ or can the bleach just not kill

it?. Well if it can't then maybe it the advert should go "kills 99% of all known germs but

not that 1% which it can't kill because it is CRAP".

But then what will happen to that remaining 1%?. Will it just sit there, reproducing under

the rim and just lie dormant until one day WHOOSH!!! one bloody great germ reaches

up after a nice drink of bleach and starts to make a grab for your privates.

But don't you worry 'cos by the time that happens we'll have another type of detergent

called BLOW TORCH which will roast the guts out of it and then Colonel Saunders will

have another new line - so far they have chickeny bits covered in grit, reconstituted

chicken nuggets - REGURGATED NUGGETS more like. I mean, they taste nothing like

chicken do they?. Chicken is nice, sweet, tender and juicy - a chicken nugget is rather

different - more like paper!. And those cartons of sauce, even that comes into doubt.

How can fast food chains pass that stuff off, you know, that red, vinegary stuff as

anything. Tomato sauce they call it. Bollocks!. If that's tomato sauce, then I'm a member

of the East German Communist Party!

Have you seen the new ads coming on TV. You must have seen them, those American

ones with very badly dubbed voice overs and because the Yanks can't talk proper, the

lips don't fit the words. Almost as bad as the so called "news". Seen it recently?. Saudi

Arabia declares itself a bit silly, Iran buys a Maxpax machine and promises to import

more Blackadder videos, the Check Government renamed itself as no-one can spell

Checkos, Chelosov, Checkoslavacia, Checko well you know what I mean. And what is

even worse now is Saddam Hussein Mania. All we seem to get is Saddam Hussein this,

Hussein that, Hussein the other - pretty difficult owing to the fact that he has such a tiny

dick - well he must, you just have to look at all of the massive phallic symbols he has put

up. What will we have next?, Saddam goes for a walk, Saddam invades Milton Keynes,

Saddam blows his nose, Saddam has a fart?!.

One thing that Saddam has managed to do is get rid of his oil. This has sparked off the

greens again. Now they are a bunch of headbangers aren't they with the so called

"Green Issue". What a load of CRAP!. Alright, I'll come clean. I use unleaded and

recycle my paper and use CFC free anti pong stuff and I've got the tee-shirt, the badge,

the tape, the book, the film of the book, the sequel of the film of the book, the lamp, the

CD, the microscope, the computer program, the sellotape, the video and of course the

Governments Green Bill - what a waste of paper that is!.

But getting back to the tee-shirt. What happens when this green madness goes out of

style, you'll want to get rid of the I'M ON THE BANDWAGON logo and the NUCLEAR

POWER? NO THANKS hippy badge on the jeans. So how will you do it?. That's right -

use bleach. But then where does the used bleach go - down the sink to feed THE

BLEACH MONSTER!

F.X. : More loony cheers and laughs - fade.

Sketch 3. The Blues Song

(FORMAL VOICE) Announcment.

This Sketch has certain words in it which may be deemed slightly offensive, but not as

offensive as used in most everyday speech. Therefore, if you don't wish to hear it, then

fast forward the tape for about two and a half to three minutes. If you do wish to hear it

then I wish to make it clear that I am in no way responsible for the mental state of

yourself after exposure.

(SIDE - STILL FORMAL) P.S. It is also based on the Python Sketch about the man with

Three Buttocks.

Announcer : And now will you welcome onto stage, Mr Julian Clary!

F.X. : Loony cheers and wolf whistles

Julian : I thank you, I thank you. Now as many of you know by now, I am a bit of

a singer and in particular, I enjoy singing the blues.

F.X. : Loud laughs

Julian : No you fool, you should know, I'm not that sort of man. Anyway, here's a

small song about someone called Phil who has three arseholes. I thank

you.

BLUES SONG.

Oh I'm a man with three arseholes

Yes I've got three arseholes

I've always had three arseholes

Include my mouth and I've got four

My dad had three arseholes

Man how he could shit

Except when he had a Chernobyl curry

Then for a week he couldn't sit

It can be a pain with piles

Or if you have a spot on one rim

But it can't half be fun

With Mike, Joe and Tim

F.X. : Loud cheers and laughs. Laughs die. Steps walking on.

Hello there funny little man. And who are you then?

Man : I be one of those yokel folks with a combine arvester!

Julian : So what are you doing here then?

Man : I don't rightly know

Julian : Then go away you smelly little man.

Man : But I've got three arseholes

Julain : No you haven't.

Man : Have you know

Julian : No you don't so run along

Man : I arve

Julian : Then let me see them then

Man : No

Julian : Why then?

Man : Cos I wuz only avin' you orn! (Laughs)

F.X. : Steps off

Julian : Funny little man. Now back to the song.

Oh I'm a man with three arseholes

Yes I've got three arseholes

I've always had three arseholes

Include my mouth and I've got four

My mother only had one arsehole

But they say Buggering was he game

That's how come I've got three arseholes

And my sister has got the same!

When I was young and still in nappies

My mother she would cry

Cos all day long I'd scream and shout

And fill them up with crappies

Oh I'm a man with three arseholes

Yes I've got three arseholes

I've always had three arseholes

Include my mouth and I've got four

Oh I'm a man with three arseholes

Yes I've got three arseholes

I've always had three arseholes

Include my mouth and I've got four

I thank you and good night.

F.X. : Cheers and claps - fade out.bp

lighter hole in the Citroen 2CV?

at my helmet.

mouth open again and put it to you that you are telling a bit of a

whopper to the court.

GRAMS : Documentary type music fade.

THE END

GRAMS : Mark Summers "Summers Magic"

Credits :

Everything was done by Paul except for the music and sound effects. They were

engineered by Bill Robinson who also produced the work.

There may also have been some other voices on the tape but that could have been

either a malfunction on your part or that there was another voice actually tape recorded.

In which case it was probably Bill and Sue Robinson but it might of been the Queen and

Prince Charles doing damned fine impressions of the said humans.

This has been a very silly piece of work which I have enjoyed doing. Hey, why has my

nose just grown?. Tune in to the next tape when you will hear amongst other things part

2 of "The Trial of Bottle" in which we see the case getting somewhere fast (in reverse!).

Also appearing on the next tape will be Dan Druff, Eva Brick and Willy Take A Check.

So til next time I shall leave you with this thought. (Longish pause)

Thank you.

F.X. : PING!
