A Fishy tail...

A silly little piece masquerading as biting satire...



  Cod an` chips please

  Got no cod

  Right, I`ll have haddock then

  No `addock neither

  You haven`t got cod or haddock?

   It`s `cos of them fish quotations
 
   But someone told me you could walk across the North sea on the backs of    haddock there are so many of them

    Ya` can

    Then why can`t the fisherman catch them?

    `Cos they might scoop up a cod as well

    Better have a sausage then

    Can do ya` a goldfish

     Goldfish!

     Or stickleback

     But you can`t eat goldfish and sticklebacks!

     They`re not fa` eatin. I`m a pet shop now...

I was going to be equally succint in my review but it's not my style. The beginning sounded like being in my local chip shop but then the biting satire kicked in.Very funny piece,woody even your throwaway stuff is in a league of it's own, rememinded my of Mony Pythons cheese sketch a bit. 
What happened to your railway station piece. I never got to review it. 
And I don't know why you think I wouldn't like Bennet. I think he touches genius at his best. I heard 40 Years On on the world service recently , mesmerising stuff 
You crazy guy,you

What day did you say it was....

Thanks Tali and Elli for your time and comments... 
As for you Jane...Sorry about our revered Mr Bennett, I must be confusing you with someone else..how could I! 
Re the railway station piece, I`m afraid I `inadvertently` hit the delete button and obliterated it..maybe I will resurrect it at a later date. Finally many thanks for your kind comments. I always appreciate them.  
 
PS Hope we can hear Mr Bennett`s words as the only tickets we could get were up in the `gods`- Next stop the car park! 
happy writing

Bit short Woody. Hardly worth it? Never mind it was nice while it lasted. Which, incidentally, was what the wife said to me last night in bed. 
 
Only joking. Which is what a Comedy Site is for. Well done. Not your best; but witty nonetheless.  
 
I see you are off to see The History Boys. I caught it some time ago and was hugely disappointed. Call me oldfascist but all this Oxbridge poofery doesn't do anything for me at all. Look forward to Stephen ' Call Me Stephanie' Fry in a stage version of Enid Blyton's' Fatty Fry and His Oxbridge Chums'. Wow!! Spiffing!! Wizzo, Old Bean! [Much preferred 'The History Man']. 
 
Slan!
Still around..

Thanks Leo. Yes I`m still around but just can`t find anything worthy to stick on the site..Have started several pieces and ended up bining them..A writer`s life..what more can I say.  
HI Gerard - thanks for the comments, honest as ever. Thought I`d just get the stupidity of the fishing situation off my chest. 
 
Interested to hear your take on The History Boys. I will let you know what I think after I have seen it. As you know I am a great fan of his, so I hope this won`t cloud my judgement. As for Stephen Fry. I once caught him hosting some back-slapping award show somewhere and I have never heard anyone more in love with the sound of his own voice. What a complete yawn... 
 
cheers as always

Nice quirky but simple and straightforward piece. Part 2... the Pet Shop sketch?
