Marco and Laura

Post by lpm » Sat Aug 22, 2020 11:00 pm

Romance is in the air. Will these two get it together in the great melting pot of New Orleans? Or will Marco breeze through the Big Easy, leaving Laura all at sea? Tune in this week.

<set: 5 oxbridge / footlights types (at least three should be recognisable to the general public) are arranged behind three desks, two pairs of two to the left and right, with one in the centre. Each has a buzzer>

Contestant 1: <buzz> I know this one!! It’s about two hurricanes at the same time in the same place! We haven’t seen the like for years!

Audience: General hilarity and applause!

Unfortunate timing for the Texas Republican Party to announce that their new slogan is the Qanon-inspired "We are the Storm".

It's looking like Marco is weakening, but will saturate the Louisiana/Texas border area over the next couple of days, while Laura is strengthening and heading into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where it will strengthen even more, before hitting the same Louisiana/Texas border area as a fairly intense hurricane.

Marco turned out to be Mr Floppy so Laura ditched him and is going alone. Currently fancying a trip to Galveston and Houston.

It first was a rumour dismissed as a lie, but then came the evidence none could deny:
a double page spread in the Sunday Express — the Russians are running the DHSS!
