GAP YEAR GIRLS SAVE EARTH FROM DR EVIL 001

February 2nd, 2010


Zoe and Cassandra’s Gap-Year experience turned out to be a truly spectacular CV burster…. and, as it happens, changed the course of our wonderful blue planet’s history. Whilst traversing the globe (on the look-out for fun and photo-opportunities) in their very pink campervan, they unwittingly uncovered the most dastardly of all ‘destroy the world’ type conspiracies. ‘This one’ was cooked up by Dr Evil (low-esteemer extrordinaire) during one of his ‘more disagreeable’ days. However, before he could push the big red button releasing his ‘ducks of doom’ to wee in the water and give us all ‘bad tummies’, the gritty gals ploughed their trusty VW into his battlewaggon. In doing so they dispatched ‘his grumpiness’ forever into the darkest pit of oblivion they could find on a limited travel budget. When our heroines finally return from ‘gapping’, ’saving the world’ etc. they will start their courses reading alcopop and pot noodle labels at The University of Bryn Parry… We wish them well and will send them two copies of the stupendous ‘Backpacking with Brian’ (available at www.authorhouse.co.uk price £8.30) as a fitting gift in honour of their great service to mankind and VW sales. You can see the covers of this cult classic at www.authorhouse.co.uk that is, if you can be bothered…………..
