Bike Shop Sketch Page 2

When I read either version of the sketch I see at the end the customer standing absoulutely rigid and the pike shattering on contact, the customer completely unperturbed and unmarked. It would be a twist on an old slapstick routine? He could then glance at his watch and walk off with a disdainful look or he could say, for example,

Cust: Actually I was in the market for a MEDIAEVAL pike (PAUSE) but...

SHOPKEEPER QUICKLY PRODUCES ONE FROM UNDER THE COUNTER

Cust: (SHAKES HEAD)...I'm not now!

CUSTOMER GIVES SUPERIOR LOOK AND WALKS OFF

I liked that mediaeval pike thought!

Oddly (as I am) I actually felt that the second sketch had more to offer and would continue working on that if t'were mine! But sadly it ain't!

There are so many variations possible (as always) and theres your original anyway mate, which is fine as it is, and is preferred by most, t'would appear!

Maybe I can save it for a BSG Sketch competition one day....

Ah yes, the BSG sketch competition - the thing of myths and leg-ends.

If I ever win that thing again I may suggest 'Fish' as I have a fish sketch I could try out!

Frankie, just as a sidebar, it hasn't actually happened yet but be patient because one day it just might.

I am not sure what you're talking about there!

But if you are referring obliquely to you giving back your bogus 50 points then, yippee-yay-ay!

We do have a laugh don't we!

Goodness how we laugh.

I have had a look at your filks site and had a good laugh at that!

BSG advertising does work!

"F**k you Mrs Robinson heaven help the ones who cannot play ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay (Annie Robinson) tune: Simon & Garfunkel

If you wrote that lyric, well done chum!!!

Frankie, the 50 points f**k up was my fault, but if you were indeed good enough, you shouldn't need to worry about such a thing.

Thanks Frankie and yes, I write them all.

Hey come on I am only joshing, don't get too serious on me and if the points don't matter Lee, just scrub them off then mate.. Scrub mine off too if you want!

If I were indeed good enough to get more points? Yes of course I'm good enough!
I'll get me mam to vote for me now tonight, er no I forgot she's dead ..I think.. mmm, well there must be somebody left daft enough to give me a vote (without being paid of course)!

INT. FRANKIE'S LONELY GARRET ROOM. NIGHT.

FRANKIE: Mam, are you there or what? And where's that f**king bacon sarnie I asked you for just before the funeral, eh?

FRANKIES MOM RETURNS AS A ZOMBIE WITH A ZOMBIE STYLE BACON SARNIE WHICH FRANKIE LOOKS AT WITH DISDAIN. SHE THEN PROCEEDS TO LOG ON AND VOTE FOR FRANKIES CURRENT SKETCH COMP ENTRY "THE BANK ROBBERS".

MOM: (ASIDE) He's always been such a lovely boy! (TEETH FALL OUT, HEAD IMPLODES)

Good stuff! I am a song writer (unpublished but still live in hope and anyway I just like writing songs!) I notice you do have some donated filks.. It's something I've never done before except doodling but I'd like to have a go sometime...

I'll give it some thought and if I come up with anything, I'll submit it and if you like it, it would be nice to see it on your site. Btw there'll be nothing in it about points of any kind!!

I nearly voted for you or KP in the current comp but had to go with Fred's in the end! It's a bit of fun, I think we all enjoy it don't we? Forget I mentioned the 50 bogus points thing.. lifes too short as it is, I don't mean to cause any bad feeling!!

"Life is but a jest" - Bob Dylan 'All along the watchtower'

Hey there's an idea ... a Jehovahs Witness version of Bob Dylans All along the watchtower!!! It's 5:00am and I've been up 24 hours so this may be a shit idea.. Goodnight fellas!!! Sorry to hijack the thread btw!

All along 'The Watchtower' the Jehovahs witness wrote his brief
To "knock on doors til midnight", his neighbours got no relief
The twat just kept on knocking his God to introduce
So I asked him in and with a grin, squeezed his orange juice

There must be some way outta here, said the Witness to the geese
We're all stuffed and got no heads have you seen where he puts the grease?

I'll work on it later... nite

It was nothing but a straight up, simple reply to your 50 points comment. I prefer to use my smiley's sparingly.

Mmm! Your straight up simple reply appears to be nothing of the sort. You agree you have f**ked up with the 50 points and yet it's me you're having a go at when I say they are bogus!

I'll spare you another smiley!

Here it is:

Oh Frankie, Frankie, Frankie. I want to like you, get on with you, but you make it so hard.

Lee this is what you posted mate. I'm just responding to what you're posting! Anyway, it's not important to get on with everybody, nor is it possible!

Let's agree to differ and bury it!

This 50 points will tear us all apart!
