Landscape Designer

15/6/96-21/6/96

15 June 1996 - LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

I think I've got a talent for landscape gardening.

Consequently, I've set up a horticultural design consultancy called McGrath Consultancy. We aim to specialise in turning people's gardens into quarries, tar-pits, quaysides - you know the sort of thing.

I've taken on a part-time assistant to help me carry stuff about. His name is Julius St T-Shirt.


20 June 1996 - LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

I've had my first complaint resulting from a garden scaping job I did last week.

I'd been asked by the nephew of a couple of old nuns to turn their garden into an adventure playground for deprived thugs. I set about my task by replacing shrubs with barbed wire animals and filing the branches off all the trees.

The complaint? That my final bill - £64 - was simply too low!


21 June 1996 - LANDSCAPE DESIGNER

I've been running a promotion this week to boost my garden scaping business.

For every plant I accidentally destroy, customers will receive a voucher entitling them to a free Baywatch stationery set. And for each time I accidentally block up a customer's lavatory with turf, I put on a free body-popping show.

I'll also pledge my allegiance to the souls of regular customers' ancestors.
