Isn't that the nature of these forums, though? Two bald men fighting over a comb?

My role is to snap the comb.

INT. PRISON CELL - DAY
We are close on David and Perry in what appears to be a neutral location
Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue.
Pull back to reveal they are in a cell.
It's not a problem to reveal the trick up front, because it helps people like me to visualise how a sketch or scene will work. If what seems to be one thing turns into another later on, it's confusing, but only mildly, although I would suggest that clarity is best.
Odd how an innocent question can lead to such heat!
Thanks for weighing in, Michael, even if you did have to present the scenario of my sharing a prison cell with Perry to make your point. Have you seen the man in the flesh? It's like a bulldozer gave birth.

Micheal is quite aware of my bouncer-like appearance thank you Bussell. We can't all be impossibly tall and lean and sophisticated with bounteous hair, and legs so long your arse sits squarely between your shoulder blades. You're like the bastard offspring of a 16th century French aristocrat and Black Beauty.

The advice on reading that I gave was meant in good faith, but the way I said it is because I am an official G-O-M (Grumpy Old Man) and I've got the bus pass to prove it. My feet hurt all the time and the world has gone to pot. I have no reason whatsoever to insult any of you, and I'm generally known as a very helpful person. So if I give general advice, take it or leave it, it's NOT addressed at any individual unless I mention them by name.
So there, now shut up on this issue.

Hi Micheal:
I'm not actually heated at all, just my usual caustic self.
Hello Bill.Nice to see you.
...to see you nice.
I'm the leader of the pack, which makes me such a lucky Jack, but here they are, they're so appealing, come on dollies, do your dealing

We love the Bruce even if he does look like a manifestation from a Terry Gilliam nightmare. His seemingly eternal longevity inspired the premise behind one of our sitcoms, although we didn't write a part for him.
Is that the Micheal Jacob, from the BBC, posting on the BSG boards?
If so, that's actually rather cool...

Providing he stays away from threads devoted to recent new BBC comedies like The Cup, Lab Rats, The Wrong Door and Coming of Age.

It is. And it is.
He comes here to crib notes for his seminars in the Ivy clad walls of his comedy college.
