Marathon “A Group Story”
RIGHT SAID FRED as he pulled the bedclothes from us. It was 7 am, and we were on a surfing
holiday. He continued, “lets get down to the BEACH BOYS, there’s a good surf running”. We
quickly got dressed and headed down the STEPS to the SANDIE SHAW, we were alone apart from a
FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
We soon spotted a group of local lads playing volleyball, WHO were all art lovers, they were known
as the CULTIRE CLUB, this part of the beach was for men only and was known as the BOYZONE.
As soon as we joined them the tide rose quickly and we got WET, WET, WET
Dick was the first to get hungry and wanted some breakfast, but rather than use the path back to the
top he decided to climb the rock face. George, the youngest of us shouted “Don’t climb the CLIFF
RICHARD, some ROLLING STONES may fall down and hurt you”. Dick took no notice of the
BOY GEORGE, He had not gone too far when he slipped. Luckily he was not hurt, the few scratches
were covered with a BAND AID.
Back in the van we heated up some BATCHELORS cup-a-soup. George turned on the radio, it was
playing a song by Ella Fitzgerald. Fred told him to find another channel, “You know JOHNNY
HATES JAZZ” he said. We were nearing the end of our week and would soon be heading home, the
money was running short and if we were not careful we could find ourselves in DIRE STRAITS .
We decided to go to ABBA for a beer, The landlady's name was Elizabeth. She was tall and slim, the
lads called her THIN LIZZIE Dick greeted her as he always did with a big SQUEEZE. At that
moment the pub DOORS swung open and a couple of DRIFTERS walked in. By the looks of them
they had been on the road a long time. They were hungry and asked Elizabeth if she could spare some
BREAD and JAM. She obliged but only one slice which they had to CHER. They said thank you and
left.
Dicks love was a fair haired girl named BLONDIE, he was MADONNA and would do anything for
her. She wore BANGLES on her wrist, and her jeans were a TIGHT FIT. Her favourite colours were
dark red or DEEP PURPLE. She was a SWEET little thing, and by her accent came from AMERICA,
which is a very BIG COUNTRY indeed. Her home town was the windy city of CHICAGO
Listening to the weather forecast, the HEATWAVE would soon be over and the weather would be
colder and wetter. Next day we drove away from the coast and started the long journey back up north
to home. After a couple of hours we turned a corner and were stopped by the POLICE A young
constable said we would have to find another way round as there was some MEN AT WORK on the
road ahead and there was no way through.
It was Dicks turn for driving, and as he tried to turn round he went off the road, we got stuck and the
old VW was soon up to its axles in MUD We eventually got going with the help of some VILLAGE
PEOPLE. who included a traffic cop and amazingly a Red Indian Chief! They gave us a friendly
wave as we departed and someone shouted to us “stay in THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD next time!”
We got on our way north again, and soon left the BEAUTIFUL SOUTH behind us. We decided to
spend one more night out on the road, And after a cup of HOT CHOCOLATE we went to sleep. Just
before DAWN I woke up and I could see some SHADOWS moving around, I quickly grabbed a
torch and looked through the window. I yelled in terror when I saw a crowd of SMALL FACES
staring back at me. The others jumped up and we all dashed outside to see 20 or so STRAY CATS
wandering around our van.
After being woken so early we set of in the direction of home. This holiday had gone past so quick, it
all seemed a BLUR but all being well, we would have MIKE AND THE MECHANICS check the
battered VW ready for next year.
We were all wondering what TEMPTATIONS we would have if we manage to get away next year. In
the meantime I would go back to the building sites and keep digging FOUNDATIONS for buildings.
As we left each other we arranged to meet in our local pub and have a few pints and a game of
DARTS on Monday evening.

It was 7 am, and we were on a surfing holiday. He continued, “lets get down to the BEACH BOYS, there’s a good surf running”. We quickly got dressed and headed down the STEPS to the SANDIE SHAW, we were alone apart from a FLOCK OF SEAGULLS We soon spotted a group of local lads playing volleyball, WHO were all art lovers, they were known as the CULTIRE CLUB, this part of the beach was for men only and was known as the BOYZONE. As soon as we joined them the tide rose quickly and we got WET, WET, WET Dick was the first to get hungry and wanted some breakfast, but rather than use the path back to the top he decided to climb the rock face. George, the youngest of us shouted “Don’t climb the CLIFF RICHARD, some ROLLING STONES may fall down and hurt you”. Dick took no notice of the BOY GEORGE, He had not gone too far when he slipped. Luckily he was not hurt, the few scratches were covered with a BAND AID.
  • 4. Back in the van we heated up some BATCHELORS cup-a-soup. George turned on the radio, it was playing a song by Ella Fitzgerald. Fred told him to find another channel, “You know JOHNNY HATES JAZZ” he said. We were nearing the end of our week and would soon be heading home, the money was running short and if we were not careful we could find ourselves in DIRE STRAITS . We decided to go to ABBA for a beer, The landlady's name was Elizabeth. She was tall and slim, the lads called her THIN LIZZIE Dick greeted her as he always did with a big SQUEEZE. At that moment the pub DOORS swung open and a couple of DRIFTERS walked in. By the looks of them they had been on the road a long time. They were hungry and asked Elizabeth if she could spare some BREAD and JAM. She obliged but only one slice which they had to CHER. They said thank you and left. Dicks love was a fair haired girl named BLONDIE, he was MADONNA and would do anything for her. She wore BANGLES on her wrist, and her jeans were a TIGHT FIT. Her favourite colours were dark red or DEEP PURPLE. She was a SWEET little thing, and by her accent came from AMERICA, which is a very BIG COUNTRY indeed. Her home town was the windy city of CHICAGO Listening to the weather forecast, the HEATWAVE would soon be over and the weather would be colder and wetter. Next day we drove away from the coast and started the long journey back up north to home. After a couple of hours we turned a corner and were stopped by the POLICE A young constable said we would have to find another way round as there was some MEN AT WORK on the road ahead and there was no way through. It was Dicks turn for driving, and as he tried to turn round he went off the road, we got stuck and the old VW was soon up to its axles in MUD We eventually got going with the help of some VILLAGE PEOPLE. who included a traffic cop and amazingly a Red Indian Chief! They gave us a friendly wave as we departed and someone shouted to us “stay in THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD next time!” We got on our way north again, and soon left the BEAUTIFUL SOUTH behind us. We decided to spend one more night out on the road, And after a cup of HOT CHOCOLATE we went to sleep. Just before DAWN I woke up and I could see some SHADOWS moving around, I quickly grabbed a torch and looked through the window. I yelled in terror when I saw a crowd of SMALL FACES staring back at me. The others jumped up and we all dashed outside to see 20 or so STRAY CATS wandering around our van. After being woken so early we set of in the direction of home. This holiday had gone past so quick, it all seemed a BLUR but all being well, we would have MIKE AND THE MECHANICS check the battered VW ready for next year. We were all wondering what TEMPTATIONS we would have if we manage to get away next year. In the meantime I would go back to the building sites and keep digging FOUNDATIONS for buildings. As we left each other we arranged to meet in our local pub and have a few pints and a game of DARTS on Monday evening.
