When/Why did the BCG become so dull & lifeless? Page 26

Rhubarb.

Better covered in custard?

I am beginning to crumble.

I like critique and so does my wife.

Does that cvhat up line every work at swingers parties?

No need for chat up lines at swingers parties, it's keys in the bowl and off we both go.

I'm waiting for the first time they do an FA Cup draw live on telly and someone pulls a pair of car keys out of the glass bowl...

"37 - Northampton Town, will play....Mr & Mrs Whiplash from 12, The Close."

Much of modern life bemuses me, but naught so much as those who take to an online forum to decry the state of said online forum.

If you don't like it, either do something constructive to improve it or say ta-ta.

Valid point.

Critique only matters as a recruiting ground. When it is working well it brings in people who aspire to a career in comedy writing, and they tend to be good posters. Not that there are not many excellent posters who are not deluded psychotics.

Actually, yes, that's a good point. I came to the BSG purely for the writers forums first of all, but over time found myself nestling in in General Discussion as well.

Oh yes, Mrs Whiplash would love that and I heard Mr Whiplash likes to watch.

But yes I see where your coming from, I used to put the news on every time I had my food (some weird thing I had going on) and I used to get upset and moan about it and sometimes it would put me off my food, then one day my wife suggested not to watch the news while I was eating because I get so worked up and upset. So I tried it and she was right and now my food goes down much better.

I seem to remember the Perry's of this world with real success tended to be amongst the most generous and thoughtful critics.

As for you who've known neither failure, nor success. Why don't you take your sense of inadequacy along with your failure and bury it in the back garden, along with all the cat turds.

Sooty, who are you talking about?

I'm only asking as I am a Perry - though my wife isn't...

I think he means Lee Henman. His previous username was Perry Nium.

Thanks Ben.

Yes that keeps me awake at night too. I think the answer is if they have comments to make about said online forums they should find another way of communicating them, maybe bongo drums??

Oooh, sarcasm.

How pretty.

It's a bit like writing in to the Daily Mail letters page to tell them you hate the Daily Mail and will never be buying it again.
