Originals

This is a picture of Kev. You can poke him through that hole in Sputnik if you don't believe me.

'Twas a shock when he showed up in this T shirt yesterday - surely it died years ago.
Although not quite as ancient as the wearer, this is a very old garment. It's ages since I bought it from a car boot sale when it was already vintage.

Why buy it?

Well the title is 'Originals' and it advertises the rare and possibly extinct
'Flowers Original' - as fine a pint of real ale as you can imagine. I used to pull frothing pints of it for Skegness holiday makers when I worked as a barmaid.

The T shirt inspired a game which we played yearly on campsites in France and Spain during the eighties and nineties. The drunker we were and the darker it became the more hysterically enjoyable it was

The rules are very simple Kev (wearing T shirt) and Kaz sit on opposite sides of camping table which holds several bottles of red wine which probably cost about 20pence each.

Kaz: Second row second left?
Kev: gi' us a clue
Kaz: No
Kev: Ish it Tea bag?
Kaz: No
Kev: Ish it Shtradivarious? ......and so on

So now that the party season's over and you're all skint - I suggest you print the picture out, pin it to your chest and have a go.

Or better still do an updated version using some of today's originals e.g. iPod, low fat rhubarb yogurt (mmmm) or heelies (thanks Betty).

Any more inspiration?
KAZ
