'What if I return it last Friday?' 'Erm...' 'Only joking! There you go' - Mick handed the librarian three shiny fifty pence pieces, gathered his stuff and left.

Larry & Mick Get Caught Stalking Tony Robinson

Larry & Mick were amateur archaeologists. This will be news to some, but not to others. It will be news to those who have not read previous Larry & Mick stories pertaining to the fact. If you are one of these people, then shame on you! Either way... Larry & Mick liked to watch Time Team . But not for its archaeological content. 'Pah!' they would say. 'How can you dig up a 3000 year old fencepost and claim it represents a cornerstone of civilization?' 'Nice pun there, friend Larry.' 'Thank you, friend Mick.' So no, they did not watch Time Team for its archaeological content.

'But what do you see beneath the rock?' 'Nothing.' 'What do you mean, "nothing?' 'The rock is in the way.'

Larry and Mick and the Cuppa-Contraption

I thought I would share with y'all my entry for the 'PG Tips Invent a Cuppa-Contraption' competition.

But they don't know that!!

'Yes it does,' said Larry. 'No it doesn't,' said Mick. 'It's an easy mistake to make,' said Larry. 'No it isn't,' said Mick. 'Yes it is,' said Larry. 'Unless...' said Mick. 'Unless what?' said Larry. 'Unless you aren't who you say you are,' said Mick.

Larry and Mick Decide to Become High Class Hookers But Get the Wrong End of the Stick...

'For once in your life,' said Larry to the small goblin-like creature who stood on his doorstep, 'bugger off and do something useful.' The small goblin-like creature shuffled off, muttering something incoherent and probably unpleasant. Larry then closed the door, tutted, turned back into the room and said, 'Honestly, what is the world coming to?'

Larry and Mick Decide to Defect...

'I'm bored,' said Larry, as he sat before a large, free-standing mirror on the dining room table, plucking out the hairs between his eyebrows with a pair of tweezers he had found behind his right ear, when he had been searching for a pencil he was sure he had left there, only to realise that it no longer existed, due to the fact that he had sharpened it away to nothing, along with two-hundred-and-thirty-six other pencils, at the National Pencil Sharpening Tournament held at the N.E.C. in Birmingham last Wednesday, at which he had won third prize of a nice, shiny badge and a year's supply of pencils, which, in a pique of altruism, he had donated to the charity, Catteries in Need of Pencils, only to later regret it when he realised he had nothing to write with. 'Shall we defect?'

Larry and Mick Donate all Their Furniture to Charity

It may have occurred to the casual reader of the Tales of Larry & Mick that there is some lack of clarity over the living arrangements of the protagonists. Do they each own their own 'space' (to be very 2005), but spend most of their time at each other's abodes? Or do they share in the ownership of a flat or a house, in an entirely non-sexual, platonic kind of a way? (Larry & Mick are not gay. Or are they...? This is one of the questions which will be vociferously debated amongst students of Larry & Mick for many years to come - as well as the lack of clarity regarding their living arrangements...)

Larry and Mick Enter a Elastic Band Flicking Competition

The tension was palpable. The contestants stood waiting in line to be called up to the rostrum. Elastic bands were stretched. Prayers were whispered. Dedications to Pagan deities were recited. 'Fancy a yoghurt-coated raisin?' said Larry. 'Don't mind if I do,' said Mick. Larry and Mick munched on yoghurt-coated raisins. 'What is this place we've entered?' said Larry. 'Let me just get the flyer,' said Mick. Larry had another yoghurt-coated raisin. 'Don't eat all those yoghurt-coated raisins,' said Mick. 'Sorry,' said Larry, as he offered Mick another.

Larry and Mick Find Themselves in a Town Overrun by Hordes of Slavering Zombies

'Where's Milla Jovovich when you need her?' said Larry. 'Pardon?' said Mick. 'Never mind,' said Larry. 'Pass me that shotgun.' Mick did so, and Larry subtly nudged a nearby zombie over that fine line between with-a-head and without-a-head .

Larry and Mick Get Waxed

Larry passed Mick a chicken drumstick, which Mick took, got out his penknife, sliced off a slice, dipped it in the gluepot and stuck it onto the canvas before him. He then stood back and twizzled the small, pointy goatee beard he had been cultivating. 'It's good,' said Larry, over the sound of the welding torch, which he was taking to the large block of cheese; 'but it needs more chicken.'
