Hello Frank Key,
I enjoyed your programme today as usual. Sorry to hear you are under
the weather but, I thought, once you’d got into your stride, you were
on your usual form. This flattery might make you feel a little insecure
as you suspect what might be coming. yes – a correction is due; you
mentioned the lion on the Golden Syrup tin being attacked by killer
bees. (as i write this I suspect you must know the real meaning but i
shall go on, although now I prefer your scenario). The lion is infact
dead and not just dead but bees have made their hive in its dessicated
carcass, hence the motto under the illustration ‘Out of the Strong Came
Forth Sweetness’

Never mind the logo: I’m fully in favour of scrapping the games themselves and spending some of the money saved on supplying a tin of Tate & Lyle’s finest to each person of syrupable age on the planet. Perhaps Silver Syrup (fashioned from parsnips) and Bronze Syrup (chiefly lions’ blood) could be handed out to runners-up who don’t quite qualify in the main event, either because they are too young, aren’t really persons, or inhabit a different planet.

What about the young lad on the Cerebos salt tubs?

Bit more athletic than a dead lion or two blokes outside a tent Africanised Killer Bees or no…
Or how about the inspirational figure Old Halob? (I have yet to track down a photographic representation of Fictional Athlete Bobnit Tivol)

John, do you mean by themselves, or being attacked by a swarm of Africanised killer bees?

I think the two chaps from the Camp Coffee can would be perfect.
