Bussell's avatar is really weirding me out.

You're my wife now, Graham.

Yes, somebody must be able to beat me. I've actually submitted two short skits to critique since I've been here. Christ I'm a workaholic, someone get me a chair, oh and a drink, and a sandwich made by Leevil would be nice.

The only thing I've written so far is a rewrite of a line in a Sootyj skit. And I've actually made the thing shorter as it was before, so maybe my writing record is in the negative now. My intention of becoming a writer hasn't been that strong from the start, though.

Well, that sounds thouroughly pathetic. I win. Yay! :(

Oooh, we have a new contender. Sofa Matt is positively a powerhouse next to this man!

Surely the least succesful would be defined as the person who has written most but failed to get anywhere with anything? If you've only written a couple of skits you're not a failure, just a lazy bastard.

Ha! Finck's a girl.

I did that with zooo. I assumed for weeks she was a gayer.

As long as you don't mind the teeth marks.

Or a beginner.

Dave I mentioned this elsewhere but I really hope you photoshopped that avatar and didn't make yourself up in blackface.

I sort of hope the opposite.

No kidding. Actually what happens with me is that I knuckle down to some writing, and then as soon as I get bored of my characters and my story and my jokes I log onto BSG for a bit of entertainment. Two hours later I return to writing. It's now midnight. Determined to get the scene finished anyway, I stay up till 2am to get it written.

End result (1) I am so knackered the next day it's a miracle I haven't killed anybody on the drive to work (2) my script is even shitter than it would have been anyway because I was exhausted when I wrote it.

You know why this is? Because Aaron actually hates writers and it's all part of his masterplan to keep us from writing.

Or both. :)

Are you really a Teutonic woman?

As far as I know, yes.

I'm sorry to say I did. For a Halloween party in fact. In Brixton. The moment I arrived every black person at the party vanished. And there I was pleading, "but I'm Papa Lazarou! You know, from The League of Gentlemen? I'm not even human!"

Quote: Finck @ July 30 2008, 10:29 AM BST

As far as I know, yes.

Can we have a rule about people using appropriate genders in their avatars? I'm tired of the feeling of shame I have to endure when I realise I've sullied myself to someone who only later turns out to be a girl.
