Saudi terms

GORDON BROWN IS TALKING TO THE QUEEN.

QUEEN

Ah Mr Brown so is this beastly credit crunch over?

BROWN

It is ma'm I've just returned from Saudi and they've agreed tp bail us out.

QUEEN

Mr Brown isn't there a little risk in taking money from fundamentalist Islamic dictatorships?

BROWN

Not at all, they have asked us to make a few changes.

QUEEN

Really what kind?

BROWN

Booze is banned, these are your new royal robes.

HANDS HER A BURKA.

This is William's new uniform for Iraq.

HANDS HER A SUICIDE BELT

QUEEN

Will we be stoning whores and adulterers?

BROWN

I'm afraid so.

QUEEN

Jolly good that's Camilla sorted.

Think a gag is needed after booze is banned. Can't think of one mind.

You could maybe get another gag out of the burka e.g. "Does this come in pastel?"

Small point, but I would begin the Prince William line with "And".

Shit you're right.

Booze is banned,

Anne won't like that.

Thanks.

Liked this one, clever too

Thanks it kinda swings on one line.

The one about Thatcher.

I hope not, as there's no line about Thatcher in this one . Think you're referring to your "billions" sketch, which I thought was decent and well-enough thought out, but didn't quite feel right (maybe it's just the obvious straight greedy bankers asking for money again gag, otherwise can't think why not)

Would like to see a take on "Merlin" with Mervyn though.

Good idea, but you deserve first shot.

By all means have a go. Have a song and sketch that I want to finish first, and long day tomorrow, so probably won't have a chance too soon.
