Hold up! The petite pois are nearly gone!

FROZEN LASAGNE
Cheeky little sods roll everywhere.

PETITE POIS
(chorus)
We can`t help it! We can`t help it!

FROZEN LASAGNE
(under his breath)
You`re just yes veg.

STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE
Perhaps they`ll get some sweet corn?

FROZEN LASAGNE
Evil little critters them. Put them in with the green beans and it`s like a war zone.

STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE
Leave it out! We don`t want to be getting like the middle drawer!

PETITE POIS
(collective gasp)
The middle drawer!

INT. FREEZER, MIDDLE DRAWER - DAY

A SOLITARY SAUSAGE CLINGS TO ONE CORNER.

OPPOSITE, FIVE ICE POPS LEER MENACINGLY OVER THE EDGE OF THEIR OPENED BOX.

RED ICE POP
C`mon porkie, surrender!

SAUSAGE
Never!

BLUE ICE POP
They won`t want you now.

SAUSAGE
(defensive)
But I`m organic!

RED ICE POP
Well you won`t cut the mustard in this household!

THE DRAWER OPENS. A BAG OF GREEN BEANS AND A BAG OF SWEET CORN ARE THROWN IN. THE DRAWER CLOSES.

RED ICE POP
Battle stations!

THE ICE POPS SHUFFLE TOGETHER.

THE SWEET CORN EYES THE SAUSAGE.

Chin up lad. We`ll sort `em!

THE RED AND BLUE ICE POPS LAUNCH LIKE MISSILES AND HIT THE SWEET CORN.

SWEET CORN
Oh no you don`t! Not on my shift!

THE SWEET CORN RIPS ITS SEAL. SEVERAL HARD KERNELS FIRE OUT.

AS THE THREE ICE POPS FALL FROM THE TOP OF THEIR BOX, THEIR COLOURED LIQUID SPLATTERS OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

You`ve reached the point of no return.

THE SAUSAGE JABS THE FROZEN LASAGNE WITH A STRAY GREEN BEAN.

SAUSAGE
You are in the middle drawer. It`s cold and it`s tough and no veg can hear you scream!

FADE TO BLACK

THE SOUND OF THE FROZEN LASAGNE`S SCREAMS ECHO OFF INTO THE DISTANCE.

Aw Jude, your writing is so lovely. Last time I mentioned advertising, this time I'm thinking about children's animated stories. Do you know a good illustrator? Are you one? Is it worth researching children's book publishers? Just ideas to help you with your talent.

Aww Fred, thanks so much for your support and helpful comments, I really, really appreciate it.

Unfortunately I can`t draw, but I do know a really talented artist. I just love writing, really want to become a `proper` writer and I`m happy to explore any avenues to try and become one:D

Exactly the right approach to take. We're all behind you!

Very good stuff Jude ... you build a whole loony world into your pieces. Usual comment as to how it is best presented media-wise ... but nevertheless very funny (can all those fridge creatures see in the dark ... or is the light really on all the time as we suspect!?!)

Thanks Fred.

Thanks Losaavedra, pleased you enjoyed it:D

I didn`t think of that, but yes the light really is on all the time!

This just seems like gratuitous violence to me! Cruelty to vegetables!

Actually I liked it!

Lol, thanks Dave:D

I bow down to you.

Funny, fun, good dialogue, imaginative, original, fantastic.

I know we've gone away from that idea more or less now, but you really need to write a book, sketch show or film called Jude's World.

Move over Walt Disney.

Wow! Thanks Lee, I`m hugely appreciative and now I`m stuck for words... but in a good way:D

Jude`s World... I used to fancy a Thunderbird puppet, but now I want to be a Girlie Pirate! *coughs* How about Lee`s World?

It's just full of pointless posts and sandwiches.

Cupboard should be fine then?

Yey Jude. Loved it. I think Fred gave you something to think about there. I want a Jude one now about loony flowers in the garden. Go on.

Hey Jude,

you stick to this sort of thing you will have people buying stuff all over. Nice one. Original and funny.

It`s all about perspective though, if you knew the sit com-like life I live, yours sounds great to me!

Sorry guys I was replying to Lee there, then I got stuck on the phone!
