Young Charlie Thompson and the Crap Little Sister part 3: Penultimate Chapter
By givitsum
06 March 2007
Struggling to match your part 2 Jane, but I'll leave the door open for you to close it.

Charlie's dad polished off the wholesome yet slightly 'overdone' dinner his good lady breadknife had prepared. He should have known better than to expect his dinner to be both on time, and not burnt. "Right then. I think I'll nip down the Dog & Bollock for another skinfull" he slurred in that gruff, sexy tone that had first attracted his missus to him.

Having years of experiece of driving under the afluence of incohol, Charlie's dad wasn't concerned about getting a tug from the plod. In fact, every one of the pedestrians he had mowed down during his years of drink driving had been asking for it. Be it walking on the pavement without luminous jackets, or carelessly sitting in dimly lit bus shelters, none of the deaths had been his dads fault.

"Come on kids, let's get you two ready for bed" Charlie's mum said. Typically, she failed to notice Charlie was on for a personal best on Grand Theft Auto Playstation game, and was just about to murder a gang of prostitutes who had failed to pay their pimp.

"Muuuuuuuuum!! Can't I finish me game? I just need to murder this herd of hookers and I'll be onto the next level" Charlie grunted, upset at his mums lack of consideration. "OK my petal, just hurry up and violently slaughter them, then its bed time sweet pea."

Charlie grinned as his character macheted his way through the young ladies. "Wear that!" he giggled as the corpses fell one by one. After his butchering spree, his mum tucked the kids into bed and curled up on the sofa. Just then the phone rang. It was her sister, Molly Arbuckle, the phantom husband hacker of old Pontefract Town.

"Hello Sis, have you er..., done it?" Molly asked quietly.

"Hi Molly. Yes, this afternoon. He's set off down the pub already, hopefully I'll be hearing something soon."

"Good on yer, I'm glad you came to me for advice"

"Well who else could I ask? Makes no sense when I've got the best husband control expert for a sister! Molly Arbuckle: Everything she touches turns to rigor mortis! he he"

"OK dear. As long as you got the papers signed first. Right, let me know when you hear anything won't you? I'm so proud of you, I might even translate the days events into a humourous tongue-in-cheek, women's lib orientated short story-type peice, and post it up on that website I bugger about on all day. Tarraaa!"

They hung up, and Charlie's mum started leafing through the holiday brochures. Needless to say she hadn't even done the washing up from dinner, but then again she'd always been an idle cow. Just then there was a knock at the door. She quickly bit into a juicy onion to get the tears running, in a cunning, albeit well used bid to feign sorrow at the expected news...

"Mrs. Thompson? I'm PC Nonsense. Could I come in please, its with regard to your husband."

With tear filled eyes, she invited the nice constable in. He did a pretty good job of disguising his amazement at the pile of ironing that had yet to be done, and the sink full of mucky dishes. His jaw dropped as he noticed she'd got herself a cup of tea, despte all the outstanding household chores left untouched, but his training forced him to bite his tongue at her domestic indolence. He mused that were she his wife, she'd be due a clip round the lug, or at least one of his size 10's up her arse.

"Mrs. Thompson, I'm afraid there's been an accident"

"Oh no, no, no! Please tell me he's OK.... oh, oh, etc etc", she cried.

"Oh your husbands fine, but I'm afraid you may be in trouble."

"Me? Why? What have I done?" she asked, getting all nervy like.

"Well I'm afraid your husband lost control of his vehicle en route to the Dog & Bollock Public House. Fortunately the local Weight Watchers meeting was just chucking out. His car was heading for the beer garden, but luckily a couple of 18 stone plumpsters named Tracy and Sharon respectively, were wobbling past on their way back from the fish shop, and their generous midriffs cushioned the impact somewhat. Your husband was a little shaken, but luckily for him, a couple of passers-by called the fire brigade, who managed to cut the car free from under the girls. They carried him into the pub; It's nothing short of a miracle he didn't miss the start of the darts match! Sadly the 2 fat lasses sort of burst on impact. It's terrible scene; there's cellulite everywhere. It resembles an explosion in a lard factory. I'm hope your insurance will pay for the degreasing..."
"Er.... phew. Thats, er, a relief. So what's it all got to do with me?" she asked.

"Well our investigation has revealed the brakepipes have been cut. We suspect female inteference as the sharp edges had been thoughtfully filed smooth. We also unearthed a piece of paper, which was found sellotaped to the underside of the bonnet. The interesting little document is a printout from a website called 'HowToCutYourHusbandsBrakePipes.com and whichever dopy bint cut them forgot to remove the instructions."

Charlies mum was lost for words. How was she going to extricate herself from this one.....?

Thanks a bunch,sweetie, as you say HOW to I get out of this one 
This has all the hallmarks of a Givitsum classic,even dear old Molly makes an apperance. I'm not sure I can follow this but when I've finished my copy of Hello magasine and the tub of Ben and Jerry's .I'll have a go 
You really are terrible

Oh Jane, I do love your humour! I wish I could write like you. There are some classic lines in this, and I can just imagine it on the TV. 
 
I know I'm not very good at reviewing, but I know what I like, even if I can't always put my point across as eloquently as some of you. :)

I agree with Lyn: you do this so well, with real comic genius. (And so does Givitsum, whose post this is!) 
 
If anyone can get out of this, though, it is you, BBS. Do it for all of us! By all means, finish your pedicure and leave the ironing, but get Charlie's Mum her well-earned holiday. All of us lazy sluts will get to enjoy it vicariously. 
 
Givitsum, I loved the 'PC Nonsense,' wee Charlie Junior and his PlayStation games, the onion, and so much more. But Charlie's Dad has to go.

Sorry, I don't know what made me think this was Jane's. I obviously read her post, and thought it was hers. 
 
Sorry both. I think I'll go away and crawl into a corner. :cry

Nonsense, Lyn -- it was Jane's funny response and the fact that there are now three posts with virtually the same name -- I almost did the same thing myself! So stay out of that corner -- we all need to be here for Jane when she comes up with her rebuttal!

Thank you, Mary. I just feel so stupid... :sigh

Another brilliant episode, when are you to going to get together and do this for a living? Just send this out, bet it'll get results! 
 
Off t't put mi mangles in a G-clamp.

it made a great refresher after struggling through something teenagey that I'm writing at the moment. Lots of giggles - you two are really sparking things off each other.

Nicely done, sir, Certainly upped the gag-count. Particularly enjoyed the state-of-the-art detection techniques of CSI Yorkshire - always best to stick to an old copper's nose when flushing out unwanted scum.

Greatly enjoyed this - more than your first bit. I'm hoping that BBS comes up with a suitable rebuttle.

I'm glad you left the door open GVTSM.  
 
Enjoyed very much, especially the crash scene. Even if BBS does away with dad, there's still little Charlie to fly the flag. 
 
Phil.

Thankyou Gentlemen and ladies. 
 
Jean, Mary: I'm looking forward to the finale myself, like a young camel looks forward to its first hump. 
 
LynB, Kathy: Thanks for the reviews, absolutely priceless! Gave me a good chuckle this morning.  
 
Lads: much obliged. Fatties are always good for a chuckle. The mention of a chubby porker can brighten even a dreary piece. And I love the idea of CSI Yorkshire!! 
 
And Jane, thank you dear, now don't disappoint your public. Someone said we should join forces, so this can be the first one. Here's my pitch for a title: Young Charlie Thompson and the Crap Little Sister: The Final Chapter. 
There, I've done the lions share, just add a few gags n' stuff and away you go. 
 
Very Best Regards, 
 
Givitsum
