I was bored and decided to write some spoof music reviews. Then I drank some cider and ended up posting them on Amazon. I had a few chuckles writing them and truly hope someone else finds them amusing.
Spoof Amazon Reviews by Nicky Liar
Haven't read all of them yet, but what I have I liked. David Bowie licking tractor tyres. Inspired, sir!
Thanks for reading Mr Rake.
Your Chicken Vomit recipe is making me peckish!
Hey Nicky, I also read the Bowie one. I enjoyed it!
I liked all the little details best, the farm almanac and the Austin Morris 1100 etc.
I haven't read spoof music reviews like that before, where the person writes as if they knew the musician. Not sure if it's a new idea but if it is, well done for inventing it.
Have your written any other comedy stuff?
Thanks Chickenellie. I'm very grateful for your comments.
I got the idea from reading some of the cobblers people write on Amazon and wondering whether anyone other than me took notice. Judging from the comments (or lack of them) on the Amazon website only my mate Steve has read mine.
I started writing a blog a few years ago when I went back to work following a nervous breakdown. I was doing a lot of travelling so it was mainly to stay in touch with a few close friends. They found it amusing and passed it on to other friends until finally I had quite a following. So there's a year's worth of observations and ideas I'm hoping to use somehow.
I put a spoof episode of Bear Grylls - Man V Wild in Scarborough on the critique section of the forum which I think needs more work. Other than that I have some personal stuff about characters at work. For example we have a guy that is extremely accident prone so I wrote a Risk Assessment for him.
I await with interest to read more of your work, especially how you develop the characters further.
Thanks again for reading my stuff
