“Should’a seen this do before I left the house, Suze, ‘bout ten inches high it was, like that Leaning Tower of Pizza it was, and look at it now. Ruined. Oh no, summer isn’t going down without a fight this year, Suze. Weatherman’s predicting thirty degrees tomorrow. Thirty! At this time of year? So inconvenient and I mean what’s it all coming to, eh Suze? If science is to be believed, and at this rate you can’t help but believe, Suze, we’ll all be rowing to work before long. Lickle you and lickle me, canoe-pooling, wouldn’t that be a treat? A silver lining if ever there was one, eh Suze? Eh?”

Sex, drugs and Beethoven, with a big helping of dark humour. Conspicuous Nonchalanterie is the story of Serge's third year at university.

Sex and Death in Skeleton City

29 parts Complete

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
