Once upon a time there was a Buy-To-Let landlord called Adrian.

One day, he returned to his Bentley, which he had parked near his
block of flats property empire to find the wheels of the car were gone and graffiti artistically applied to the exterior.

Adrian was particularly upset because he was very proud of his Bently which he had bought a year earlier using money he'd obtained by remortgaging three two bed flats he'd bought off plan after going to an Inside Track seminar back in 2002.

He then awoke in a cardboard box full of piss and realized it had all been a wonderful dream.

What made him even more peed off was that they had sprayed his personalised turquoise paint option with red paint.

Fortunately, the cardboard box he woke up in was in Central London, so he was able to sell it for £370,000 to a computer programmer called Colin.

Colin felt fortunate to be in such a good executive cardboard box.
His father told him he'd DREAMED of living in a cardboard box such as this.

Unfortunately Colin was so tubby the side of the box split and he had to call out Stanislav the Polish box repairer who only charged £6 an hour.

There in the closet were the remains if what would have been a pretty young thing. But she was dead. And had been for quite some time, judging by the odour. By her hand was a suicide note which read:
"Goodbye Mum and Dad. Sorry to do this to you. I love you very much. I can't live with being a failure any more. I'm 26, have a Class 1 degree, but still can't afford to buy my own place. I know you don't mind me staying with you, but I know you were in your own flat at 18. I see no future for me.... I've been dumped from "Middle Class Achiever" to "bottom class who cares".... and I didn't do anything.

"I know", said the ersatz Cherie sadly, "But why is it they can never get the mouth quite right?"
The officer in charge then reached down the android's throat, right up to his armpit, and located the secret OFF switch.
"Okay, another one neutralised", he said to his team, "Now let's go after that Rowan Williams lookalike".

The door creaked open. The silhouette of a naked man was framed against the twilight outside. As he stepped forward the evil grin was clearly recognizable. "Your clothes - give them to me now" said ex-prime minister Tony Blair. Minutes later he was riding towards 10 Downing Street on a police motorbike wearing the dead police officer's clothes...

Emboldened by the prospect that their day had finally come, hoodies of every gender, creed, colour, religion ("ain't that the same as colour?" [sic]), ethnicity ("ain't that the same as creed?" [sic]), blood-type, socio-economic group and "ends" [sic] took to the streets, which was where they were anyway. As the wave of hoodi-dom spread like a kappa-pox across the country, David Cameron changed his name to MC Cameroon and began rapping his questions in "Da House" [sic], with accompaniment by George "beat-box" Ozz-born-to-chill.
As Gordon retired from the dispatch box after announcing new BTL tax treatment proposals, the right honourable member of Tatton put his hands to his mouth. MC Cameroon rose to his feet. The chamber began to echo with the dull rhythmic thudding of George's beat-boxing: "Boom-chi-pah, chi-boom-chi-pah, boom-chi-pah, chi-boom-chi-pah..."

Gordo shook his head sadly and hurried off down the corridor. He stopped. Someone or something was following him. He turned around and looked straight at Mervin King, who appeared to have been standing there for quite some time.
"Merv..." Snarled Gordo
"Please, call me "M"," replied Merv
Gordo knew that he was going to be told about how bad a state the country was in. He couldn't avoid it for any longer. Merv began to walk slowly towards him, until he was cornered.
Merv drew a gold envelope from his pocket and waved it in Gordo's face.
"You know," he said "I can't remember if I cut interest rates by 0.4% or 0.5, so you've gotta ask yourself one question: do you feel lucky?"
Gordo grimaced. Maybe if he hit him with a chair...
