Default Speccie: Alice's Adventures

Bazza scored twice and Frank Osen, George Simmers and myself once each. Rude entries did not make the cut. By the way, you have to pronounce Menzies as Mingis, as we Scots do, to make sense of one of the entries.


No. 2693 what alice did next
You are invited to supply an extract from a hitherto undiscovered Lewis Carroll work, Alice’s Adventures in ... (Parliament? Ayia Napa? It’s up to you to fill in the blanks, but 150 words maximum). Please email entries, where possible, to lucy@spectator.co.uk by midday on 13 April.

Wot's Ayia Napa? Someone tell me please.

John,

Ayia Napa is a resort in Cyprus where the 'clubbing' set go, to get drink, drugs, sex...

No, I haven't been there either.

It's a resort in Cyprus where rich footballers and other celebs get together to party mindlessly. Give me Bognor any day of the week.

Thank you. I've never been to Bognor either. I have been to Weston-super-Mare, though. The fast-track high life has not entirely passed me by.

I've been to Joppa beach too. That's Joppa near Edinburgh you understand.

I once had an interesting experience with two fattish girls (Tweedledum and T'dee?) in Swanage. But it is a hard place to find a rhyme for ....... and Lucy is obviously expecting prose, anyway. Shame, really.
