Tis the season of charity, love, and good will GRIFF. Dish up that soup before I open a can of whoop-ass on you!

With love of course. Pleased

4Laughs gave me: Rubes

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What happened that night was a one off. How you and Mr B managed to bake roofies into cupcakes still puzzles me. I still have your saddle by the way.

Giddee up Girl. I almost chewed through the reins that night.

SlagB's catastrophic prolapse didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. He didn't think so though. Specially when I stood on it.

Thanks 4Laughs and all your crew. I had a great experience up at Babycow earlier this year. Sad news indeed.

He knew what the safety word was. At no point did he say "Toilet duck". His fault totally.

He said a lot of word rhyming with duck though.

I look forward to more projects with people I met there - including Frank, who still hasn't collected his hat! xx

Hang on to my hat!

I shall be over in due course!

Could next year's Comedy Lab really be affected by Channel 4's financial problems? If so, it's just as well I didn't enter.

I have a very bad feeling about this...
I did enter :(

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so downbeat. I haven't heard anything concrete, just kind of makes sense in my head (but that doesn't run C4, in fairness).

I did enter myself though, but in that 'better put something together and send it cos we don't get that many opportunities' kind of a way.

4Laughs was a great concept but began to lose its way quite early on unfortunately. It started with daily updates and comps that turned into weekly then monthly after a while. Still, I was grateful for the site and I used the Test Bed a lot to hone my sketch writing.

So I'll miss what it could have been as much as what it was. Thanks for the memories (and the 4Laughs Mug).

It's a nice, big mug. I use it often.

Who are you calling a big mug? Oh, wait... I see what happened there. *holsters Luger*

I still have my mug!

I still have my mug too. It has never had tea in it. It's got old pens in it and is now pushed to the back of the shelf above my desk, whereas once I displayed it proudly at the front!

*sighs for what might have been and spins 'Paloma Azul' by Dave Brubeck*

Ditto.

I never won a mug but I have some lovely friends on the 'outside' now....Loopey Hedge Dan Frankie Vole Fay Snowdrop Otterfox Sabriel & the Slobbs. You should all be made into a Beatrix Potter novel...

Thanks for keeping me up to date with life in the world. I appreciate you sending me the food & comics parcels, they help me a lot.

All my love,

UHT MILK.

Monsieur Milk - that would be one wrong children's book!

I'd like to add that it's a real shame 4laughs has gone - it gave a lot of people inspiration, opportunities, friendships and advice.

I hope BSG regulars can find room at the inn for a few newbies like myself...
