Overheard between sequences at a recent AV Competition "That wasn't very good.... No, It's alright, nobody can hear me..... I AM
whispering.
Wonder what the judges think.... No, I went at coffee break... Well I do...
but it's the tablets. I was overhearing; you know; thingy; at the break.... No
I wasn't stalking him..... I was just more comfortable............ behind there.
He was saying about that Horace bloke.... which one? .. .. well you know
grey hair and glasses..... always got a microphone or a camera in his hands
......... sometimes both....... Baggery that's it!...…no I didn't say that!.... He's
got a nice wife though......... no I'm not saying anything about you...
He was saying he was making a new one about some dead bloke. They
only ever make them about dead people .........hope they don't make one
about me.
Do you remember that one about the dead Rolling Stone...took a long
time to make...he wasn't dead when he started.
What's next? I hope it's not another one of those morbid things...... might
as well go and slit my throat now......... no need to be sarcastic!
That one about the London streets was dark..... think they called it ....A
to Z..........If they want dark they could do one about Brum.
I've dropped my pen........around here somewhere.....ouch! ..... sorry I
was only looking for my...... oh never mind...I can't see a thing in here
anyway.
The judges are taking their time ......Same old crowd....that one on the left
fell asleep just now! Is it that Richard bloke again?......... I heard they dug
him up from a car park in Leicester........well I know it's not HIM............Might
be rela ted though........
That was a good one ... I think he made it in an old factory where they
used to make stuff...can't remember what.... it might have been
marmalade... Yes.. I think it was called the power of marmalade.
They never appreciate my stuff .... Well okay it is a while since I entered
anything...can't think of any dead people!
Sometimes they don't get it quite right... I really liked that one about Bob
Dylan...pity they didn't use any of his songs in it though. I liked that one
about the Mountains... think it was called sock song...… it made me cry at
the end when they wrung out the socks ..... all wet and cold. I think they're
ready for the next one now...
Pity the technical team can't get their act together........ well we're all
waiting! I've seen her press that button six times already ... she could try
something else.... shall I go and tell her? OUCH THAT HURT! .... I think
she's got it now....about time.
Okay here we go...what time's lunch?
