February 1981 - Aged 16

On Sunday 8th February we made our second and unfortunately final movie, again filmed by Andy’s Dad.

The Wimp

Starring, Alister Baldwin, Andrew Sarjeant, Cameron Fraser, Gudge and Brian Fraser

I starred as The Wimp in this classic second movie blockbuster.  I was dressed in a flowery shirt, my hair was slicked back and I’m wearing National Health specs.  The look was completed with a tight pair of shorts and black shoes. Nice hey? 

The film was shot on location at McBain Memorial Park near Loch Ness.  I am merrily skipping along the road, smelling a pretty flower, when I encounter a gang of reprobates.  The first person (Gudge) is cocking a rifle, the second (Andy) looks at me and spits on the floor in disgust, the third (Cameron) is flashing a blade in the sunshine and the final person (Brian) is sharpening a stick.

Gudge fires a shot in my direction, which stops me in my tracks.  I gather my composure, turn around and start running away down the hill.  However they soon catch me and proceed to beat and kick me, as I lay helpless on the road.  When I realise I’m not dead I stand up and boy was I angry.  I wrench my tie from side to side, and then set off in search of revenge.  The first person I track down is Brian; he puts up little resistance, as I kick him to death. Next I creep up behind Andy and strangle him with my tie.  I find Cameron and stab him with his own knife; his stomach is a mess of cotton wool and ketchup.  Finally I track down Gudge and beat him to death with a stick.  I raise my arms in the air in triumph.

The moral of this story is “Never mess with WIMPS”.
