  • Meanwhile the Rev Pat had been working all night, you could tell by the surgical loops perched sat at the end of his nose. He had already taken breakfast at Pax next to Central Park and completed a 20 mile recovery run at 5 min miling through the park because he was a real runner. Now he was sat on a bench eating jello staring at Trump Tower with bright eyes. Had he really heard a reference last night to "illuminous shit" this could go big time in night time USA if it hit the fan. The environmental possibilities were endless (Facebook eat your heart out). The Man in the tower would understand........

To usurp the fabric of society, rip apart it's benign moral codes and chew them up without hesitation before anyone could say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" let alone spell it, would be a coup among all coups.

    jealous. The living standards of the animals far exceeded the squalor in which he resided. Despite his wealth he found that he felt compelled to keep every item that came into his possession. As such, his million pound mansion was stuffed to the gills with empty milk bottles (the milkman was not happy...), a tower of cardboard tubes from long gone toilet rolls and a veritable mountain of receipts from his weekly Tesco grocery shopping. His greatest fear was that one day he would be crushed to death by the weight of....................

  • At least he never had a bad hair day, being bald and all that. His collection of wigs and hats, for the days when a wig was too much, was second to none. What's more he still had a full collection of 1982 Texaco tiger tokens.

    The collection was his pride and joy. A business rival had once offered to exchange the set in return for a night of passion with his comely wife, and whilst he was very tempted the thought of giving up the Texaco tiger tokens was simply too much to bear. Jocelyn, the wife, had been most displeased at his rebuttal, for she had always...

    what if, instead of dressing as z-list celebrities, they dressed as Kenyan men? They'd be guaranteed a spot at the start line! No messing about with pens and trying to traverse the various charity runners, men dressed as bananas, or first timers who entered on a whim and were planning on walking the whole race whilst supping on Lucozade-zero-sugar-what's-the-point-in-drinking-it? and looking for the BBC cameras.
