RON IS AT HIS TRAVEL AGENT KIOSK IN THE HIGH STREET
RON: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to a unique holiday opportunity! Thanks to recent developments in time-travel, I can now take you back, way back, to the ‘80s! Come on ladies and gentlemen, take a ride in my time machine. Let us re-live those days of our youth. Those days where everybody had a mullet or a bad perm. Those days when tight t-shirts and excessive denim and leather were all the rage. Those days where everybody was dancing to electronic synth beats and the Hoffmeister bear was king!
STAN: Hey Ron! What’s all this time travel nonsense? I thought you made a good living arranging coach trips to Germany.
Thanks also to Chris N who put it on the blog. The funniest thing about it is that Miura is actually a 'he'
I suppose it does sound a bit like an old Ladies name. I took it from the Lamborghini Miura car of the 60's. The butch names like 'Cobra' were already taken.
I feel obliged to state that ContainsNuts is my real name. When i lost my testicles in a horrific photocopying-bottom incident i couldn't afford the cosmetic surgery so this was the next best thing.
In the past when i've been unsure of what gender the writer is i've tended to avoid writing his/her - a bit like when you don't know someone's name and you end up saying "mate" a lot - but this time i was certain that Miura had to be a woman! Alas, i was wrong.
