Latitude: The Kings of Confession

Big thanks to all of you who came down to see us at Latitude – we had a great time and printed up a storm with the fabled BAD IDEA Printing Press, which was housed in our very own tent near the literary stage.

As Laura said, we created seven editions of the ‘Tell Us Everything’ magazine, including a kids special, all of which were riotously funny. We’ll be posting every issue online in due course (for free), but here are a few of the funnier entries to tide you over until then…

MEOWS IN MINUTES

When working as a veterinary nurse, some muppet had put the body of a deceased cat in the freezer overnight. I then had the task of defrosting the kitty before his owners arrived an hour later.

I tried warm water, a hairdryer, everything I could think of but no joy. I went to the senior vet for advice. I’ll never forget the smell of kitty’s tail starting to cook while the rest of him defrosted.

MISINTERPRETATION

On the first night my boyfriend slept over, we woke up in the morning and I said, ‘Ooh, I have the clam.’ I meant that I had clammy hands, but he thought that I had chlamydia.

CHA-CHING

I once borrowed £80 off an acquaintance. He died not long after, and I was secretly pleased.

Result?

SHE HAD NOODLES

My friend was sick in the corner of your tent on Thursday night. She’s very sorry- it wasn’t alcohol induced- she just felt poorly. Sorry, xxx.
