Favourite Passage: "The Boy Who Kicked Pigs" by Tom Baker

(this is a conversation between two reporters on the local radio discussing the huge catastrophe on the road)

"Was there anyone in the cab"? asked David revealing again there wasn't much inside his cab.

Cassandra pushed on. "Well David it seems there were two people in the car, a man accompanied by another man. They were twins, both of them. Twin brothers. At least that's what they told Mr Crump, who is good on details and picked all this up while trying to save the little car. Both the men were of the male sex and aged seventy-three. It would appear that they were on their way to the birthday party of their old headmaster, but as I said their number was up. Their name was on the bullet"

"Oh my God" responded David the brain who would have said the same thing if Cassandra had told him it was raining.

"We rang the old headmaster", said Cassandra, "to tell him of the tragedy and to spoil his party"

"Oh my god" groaned David. "And what did he say?"

"Well, David it seems he was too upset to talk coherently. All he kept saying was the twins were good at geography and nothing like this had ever happened before."
