- I have prepared a delicious and original recipe for your delectation.
- Enjoy !
-
-
-
- I call it... 'Un Sandwich au Fromage'
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-
- Ingredients

- Piece a cheese
- Piece a bread

- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Put the cheese on the bread under the grill for 3 minutes and eat it. MMM!
-
-
- Is this enough to save the B'n'B ? I hope so, as I for one will be more
- than a little saddened to say goodbye to what could be the most interesting
- and exciting feature in this magazine. Is there anyone else out there who
- shares my opinion ? Come on then ! Do something !Get a petition together,
- write to your MP or.. or.. maybe even send an article ( What !!! ) !
- If all my efforts fail to keep what is undoubtedly the most splendid of
- features alive and well then I will be forced to take drastic action and
- go it alone...
-
- YES !!!, a magazine dedicated to B'n'B ! Just imagine a disc mag with only
- two sections - one containing the address, the other just B'n'B. It will
- kill ST Format, ST User and ST Review stone dead they won't know whats hit
- them. I already have an idea for at least one article for the 'ALL-NEW
- B'n'B magazine', sort of like.. well.. a follow up to the above kinda thing
- but with a slice of tomato or two or maybe a dash of pepper.Anyway, I
- already have an army of loyal followers who fully support the cause...
- I wrote a coded message to all at 'Sesame St.' ( how's about that for
- political weight ? ), my message was too tough for your interceptors laying
- in wait at the Royal Mail central offices in London, and yet in the right
- hands ( Big Bird, I think ( since the letter had the special Big Bird logo
- emblazoned on the top ), or should it be 'in the right wings' ?... Oh well,
- never mind, er... what was I saying... but it doesn't ACTUALLY fly does
- it... Big Bird I mean.. well I'VE never seen it flying through the summer
- sky.... Ah ! Hang on, what I am on about, Big Bird ? Seeing Big Bird
- flying ? Ha Ha Ha ! I must be out of my mind, Big Brid lives in Spain...
- with Santa... Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ! Unless I moved to Spain, there's no way I'll
- ever see Big Bird flying. Anyway, I keep going off track, what was I talking
- about ? Oh yes, that's it... Big Bird in Benidorm shacked up with Santa, yes,
- thats a strange relationship, what with Santa working all year round ( it
- isn't just Christmas day y'know ) working his fingers to the bone to meet
- that ever-so-important deadline.
- 'It snow joke' said Santa merrily in a recent interview on Newsround ( is the
- woman who presents Newsround, John Craven in drag OR WHAT ? ), he continued
- in his own jolly style 'Aye, what with the population boom, 2 billion kids,
- well, it's just snow joke!, Ho Ho Ho!' ( Newsround producers voice - 'Shit!,
- Santa used the same crap joke twice in a row, the kids'll rip 'im to peices
- once he leaves the studio!' ). 'Well,' Santa continued, '2 and a half
- billion kids aren't to be sniffed at you know, I mean, take 3 billion kids
- each armed with a copy of the 'Argos Christmas Special Bumper Issue' and
- your talking ooh...403 billion toys, have you any idea what plastic costs ?
- And the hours I put in, we're talking 900 million toys a day, just to meet
- the demand, I mean It snow j...','BUT what... er about the Elves ? ' John
- quickly butts-in.'ELVES !?' Santa laughs, "What do mean Elves ? I'm sorry
- but I don't call a bunch of young offenders, ELVES'.'But surely they help
- ease the burden, Santa ?', John hopefully adds.'What kind of help is a herd
- of 15-year old bastards trying to knife you every time your back is turned,
- eh ?, eh ? That's the reality !, I know the kids at home like to picture us
- all living together happily, but it's all a load a Bollo...er, well... as
- I was saying, when there's 17 billion kids crying on Christma...', '17
- billion ? I thought you said 2 billion ?' John quizzes.Santa, stuck for
- words at this 'juncture' turns to the shrugging studio staff looking for
- someone to bale him out. Santa's in luck.'Heeeeyyyy! Take it eeeaaassyy
- Johnehh ! '. Like a shining white Knight on a snorting black stallion, Big
- Bird comes lolloping across the studio clutching a very long and crumpled
- cigarette.
- Big Bird, full'o'beans ( or something ), starts building up speed while
- making 'her' way over to the two Demi-Gods, first, she's jogging, then
- running, until finally she's sprinting faster than her bandy legs will carry
- her. 'Whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh !!!'. Big Bird hurtles through the Studio
- with wings at full span. The cameramen gaze in awe at the beautiful sight
- that is Big Bird. Gracing them with her wondrous vocals, she rises one last
- time like a pheonix from the ashes... and then drops like a brick.
- I will always remember that particular episode of Newsround, it brings a
- tear to my cheek even now, 9 years on. Things got worse when the police
- arrived - Oh the shame, seeing my favourite TV heroine and personal mentor
- being handcuffed on live Television. She got off though, claiming Grouch had
- sold her the cigarette, under the guise of an old sherbert stick. Big Bird
- explained to the court that she was just 'humouring' Grouch and bought it
- because she felt sorry for him.
-
- 'I had no idea it was a cigarette containing illegal substances dad... er, I
- mean Your honour'. 'And did you not suspect that £ 7.00 for a sherbert stick
- was a trifle, er, Pricey ?, shall we say ?' 'Nope !, thick as a brick me.'
- Big Bird replied.
- 'Case dismissed, not guilty !' the judge boomed out.
- Shame about Grouch though, he's still inside, the poor sod. Fifteen years,
- they gave him.
-
- Well, to cut a long story short, I received a reply to my coded message
- 3 years, 9 months and 23 days later - on the dot. I knew the blank cheque
- would help speedy things along a bit, I think Big Bird must have lost it
- though, as it fell into the wrong hands and I'm now £ 2.2 million in debt to
- the Co-Op bank in the high Street. Still, it's not all bad news, I hear Big
- Bird's just come into 'A large amount of money' and bought a chain of hotels
- in Benidorm, the 'Sun said something about her lost uncle dying in a freak
- moped accident about 13 miles off the North coast of Alaska. Poor Big Bird,
- with every windfall there's a tragedy, I really do feel for that poor Bird.
- Oh well, I think I'm speaking for all of us when I wish her the very best of
- good fortune with her new-found hard-earned cash, so 'Good luck with the
- hotel chain Big Bird, me old mucker !'
- This brings me back to my now-more-than-ever important message. For those of
- you who wish to join me in my crusade, please read on, carefully. If you are
- with the enemy, intent on destroying the B'n'B section then could you just
- turn away from the screen for a couple of minutes as this really is
- Top-Secret.
-
- Right, they've gone. Tape deck ?... recording, now... listen chaps... er,
- excuse me, hey! You lot! It's started ! Come on !Damn, oh well, I'll carry
- on with the briefing, as it has to be recorded for the historians anyway.
- So, here goes...
- Er... Hello ! Guffaw, Guffaw ! Hang on a sec, I'll just rewind that bit.
- I wonder what I sound like... I'll just have a quick listen...
- 'Er... Hello! Guffaw, Guffaw ! CLICK'
- Shit ! Do I really sound THAT bad ? Maybe if I could just... yes that'll do
- the trick, I knew it would come in really handy one day. In fact I don't know
- what I'd do without my voice scrambler. So far I've only used it for those
- 'private' phone calls to the girls next door. Tee-hee they'd have such a
- shock if they knew it was 'That perv from next door' as they affectionately
- call me. I wish their dad would stop beating the living daylights out of me
- though, being whacked about a bit with a cricket bat every evening becomes
- tedious after a few months.
- Tape Deck ?... recording, voice scrambler ?... on, lets make history !
- This is Vern Snodgrass, June 3 1993, and I'm er... about to re-write the
- history books, or something.
- I'm not going to bore you all with the elementary stuff as you will find all
- that out later, I think you'll find Mr James L Mathews who lives at number
- 3 Salisbury Road, Maidstone, KENT will be able to tell you all you need to
- know about the... what I like to call, the SLAUGHTERING of a 3 month old
- section in his magazine, P O W E R.
- As you all know, I have sent a coded message to Big Bird at his Sesame St.
- HQ. For those of you who wish to see this message in full, I will read the
- translated version out for you... next month.
