Mascot Trials

Boris Johnson and Seb Coe along with the Olympic panel are sitting behind a large table.

A man knocks and enters the room; he is dressed as Oliver Cromwell.

Seb Coe gets the ball rolling;
"Ok so what's your idea for opening these games?"

The man dressed as Oliver Cromwell pulls out a big f**k off sword and then smashes the rooms to bits shouting:
"I will have no idolatry or shameful games, there will be no partly clad harlots leaping beyond what dignity allows, this must all cease!"

Boris Johnson
"He's very realistic I'll give him that!"

For some reason when I was reading that I was thinking of Thomas Cromwell. Much better as Oliver :D

HOWZAT

Man in the discus circle coiling up to launch a throw. He spins and launches a mighty one.

V/O: My God, this is his best yet. Sven burger is going to smash his own world record to bits with this throw.

We track the discus through the air some five feet in the air as it is about to land, a big dog leaps up and catches it in his mouth, like a frisbee, and runs away with it.

V/O: Oh. He's not going to like that.

Olympic Selection Committee

                    LORD COD
          Ah, Jack, come in. I've been going
          over your qualification results.
          Let's see now, shot putt...

Jack smiles.

                    LORD COD
          Three foot six inches...

Jack smiles and nods.

                    LORD COD
          The qualifying distance is
          twenty-five feet.

                    JACK
          You felt the weight of them
          f**king things, like lead
          weights, you should use something
          lighter, go a lot further.

Lord Cob sighs.

                    LORD COD
          The hammer.

Jack beams.

                    LORD COD
          A hundred and eighty-seven feet.

                    JACK
          My strongest event.

                    LORD COD
          You didn't let go.

Jack sits quietly.

                    LORD COD
          Javelin, you speared one of the
          judges.

                    JACK
          I shouted watch out.

                    LORD COD
          He was standing behind you, Jack.

                    JACK
          Got anything else, I'm a good
          runner.

Lord Cod reads the file.

                    LORD COD
          Hmmm, I see you won the London
          Marathon in 24m:32s.

                    JACK
          World record.

                    LORD COD
          But you were disqualified.

                    JACK
          Nowt in the rules about using
          roller blades. What about
          swimming?

                    LORD COD
          Can you swim.

                    JACK
          No.

Lord Cod scribbles across the page.

                    LORD COD
          Look, Jack, I can see you're
          keen...

                    JACK
          It's because I'm black isnt it?

                    LORD COD
          You're not black.

                    JACK
          What about tennis?

                    LORD COD
          But you're no fuc...

Lord Cod regains composure.

                    LORD COD
          But you're no good at tennis,
          Jack.

                    JACK
          That doesn't stop Andy Murray.

                    LORD COD
          Sorry, Jack, you've tried, but...

Jack ponders.

                    JACK
          Ive got a big cock.

                    LORD COD
          How big?

Jack lobs out.

Lord Cod picks up the phone.

                    LORD COD
          Geoff, listen, did you get anyone
          for the pole vault?
