Modern Toss love Kickers, father Random Bandits

[singlepic=74,320,240,,left]Continuing the brand’s rebellious tradition, Kickers have partnered with Modern Toss writers Mick Bunnage and Jon Link, to create Random Bandits; a suite of cartoons, all in the pair’s crude and utterly hilarious style.
Modern Toss have developed 3 strands of film themes which appear as short skits in each of the episodes that make up [...]

Highway to Hell

Here’s a sample from a script I’ve been writing about two musicians and their desperate attempts to make it…
Dave is strumming away on his Les Paul replica, while Mick wails, cracking open a can of Carling as he goes.  This is convenient, as Mick’s surname is Whails; Dave’s is Strummer
MW:
Whoahhhhh she’s the only one….

DS:
The only [...]

Jamaican Sprinters

There’s only one way the Jamaican sprinters can be that fast and not be that bothered about breaking the world 100m record.
I have it on good authority that an abandoned dog track in South London has been the home of Jamaica’s Olympic sprinters, where their coach works on their speed in training by sellotaping a [...]

Gay Spies

The announcement that MI5 are gong to recruit gays came as a huge surprise to me as I’d always assumed spies WERE gay.
How else would you explain shady meetings in parks, all that makeup training for disguises and the bondage when they get captured by international terrorist organisations?

I talk to the trees

Prince Charles has recently been challenged by ministers to prove that GM crops are an environmental disaster waiting to happen.
The big question is – how does he know, who told him, and will ministers accept evidence based on hearsay and attributed to barley?

This Shrinking Isle (rewrite)

News from the Environment Agency finally proves that everyone is after the raft of free benefits that the British Government hands out without blinking to asylum seekers and minorities.
Now everybody at the Department of the Environment or whatever it’s called these days is concerned that the UK is shrinking as well as sinking.  One day [...]

Addicted to Sense

A Labour MP has suggested supermarkets should lower the price of bread and milk to a more socially acceptable figure.
Given that the majority of those that can afford bread and milk are smackheads, drunks or chain smokers, surely lowering the price of bread and cow boob juice will only encourage these addicts! They should try [...]

Whiskey in the Jar

Where else in the world outside of Prohibition-era Chicago would 3000 cases of whiskey be stolen?
That’s right – Glasgow.
My own theory however is that this was a crime perpetrated out of a desire to prevent the people of Glasgow getting pissed for the next 24 hours and letting them get off their arses and do [...]

“Virtual Water” explained

Have you checked YOUR virtual water footprint? You may well worry - virtual water EXISTS.
Be afraid, be VERY afraid…

Coastline

News from the Environment Agency finally proves that everyone is after the raft of free benefits that the British Government hands out without blinking to asylum seekers and minorities.
The only reason the coastline is under threat from erosion from the sea is that mermaids are trying to get into the country to claim disability.
