David, David, David.
I bet every time you drop the soap in your shower you stoop as low as to get a cheap laugh.

:):):):):)

That's optimism.

You ever tried to lasso anything with soap on a rope? It's the ultimate shower ninja waepon.

Where's the soap? !!!

Pad and pen? Bleh! :)

I work on the basis that if any idea sparking through my neurons is good (i.e. memorable, strong) enough... I'll remember it.

The best time for ideas is once you've had a few scoops of ASBO juice and you just sit there and watch your mentalist mates chat total garbage. As the night flows along with the Beer Google squash you make up about a million comedy situations. Then once you've enough ideas you kick them into the night and you start all the backstabing writing as you watch them untie themselves from the wrestling dwarfs they are tied to, before the large electric round saw cuts off their privates and they arnt your mates any longer. Or just steal an idea from the BBC's collection of seventies sit-coms and revamp it a tad. Happy Days.

I tell one thing, I never have a 'golden moment' staring at a blank word document! I always make notes on a pad and only use the PC to write them up. I have a large pad by the bed and its amazing how well you can write in the dark. Although once the ink ran out straight away and all i had were scratchings.

does anyone have a golden moment? its when everything suddenly becomes clear and your head fills with brilliant comedy just waiting to be written down. mine usually happens about midnight just as i'm dozing off. i guess its to do with my brain relaxing. i always have a dilemma as to whether to get up and write it down or to hope i remember it in the morning.
last night i trusted to luck, and damned if i can remember the bastards today.

the exact same thing happens to me... but if it's truely funny I have to get up... which is annoying cause it takes me about an hour to get to sleep normally.

sometimes i get up, write it down, go back to bed, think of another, get up again....etc it can be quite annoying for the mrs.
i dont think the pad would work because i'd have to put the light on and then i'd get told off.

That's fine for ideas, but don't you sometimes come up with a perfectly worded sentence that you can't risk losing?
I have to repeat it to myself over and over until I get home. Either that or write it on the back of my hand in eyeliner.

It's a pain in the arse when I think up something, which I consider comedy gold when I'm in bed. I can rarely be bothered to get up and write it down. I normally remember the gist of it in the morning though and slowly but surely, it normally comes back. I sometimes write down ideas quickly and when I come back to it a few days later, I have no idea what the hell it's referring to. I'm still trying to figure out what the "How much does it pay?" gag is supposed to be!! :$

On average I have a 'golden moment' 3-4 times a day. About once a day I have a 'brown' moment but that depends on how much fibre I've had.

Is this one of those NHS surveys?
