Notes for a possible radio show about grocery delivery drivers. Back at the Depot is the title, but this may, no will, change.
Myself and another writer from this site were about to put the final polish to a pilot we've been working on, before I placed it into the hands of a producer contact.

Arse! Big, hairy arses!!!!

Right just got back from Greggs I've got; 200 chicken and mushroom, 50 steak and kidney, 31 minced beef and onion and 132 apples.

Started reading it to my girlfriend hoping for some positive feedback.
The story has absolutely no educational value and the pig is inciting the others to criminal behavior. Apparently the story gives children the message that stealing is ok and a shit load of other stuff I can't understand that she is criticizing me about. (She's a Child Psychologist).
Is still lecturing me from the kitchen as I am typing and actually believes I'm listening.
Not wanting to reiterate the old chant of 'PC gone mad' but I've just finihed reading 'Danny The Champion Of The World' By Roald Dahl the best selling childrens' author ever and that's all about stealing.
I liked it. In fact I liked it so much I might steal something tomorrow.
Writing a slightly messy Larry Sanders/15 Storeys High/Arrested Development rip off to test out scriptwriting.
The amount of scene changes(and pop up bits in the middle of scenes) is a bit deranged already.

Sootyj is writing rubbish for his own amusement and the News Revue.
He's also listening to Betty Boo.
And is considering paying some gypsies with tarmacadam to pitch his scripts.

I recall being read that as a child! The bit I remember is the raisins they soak in booze (or something?) to make the pheasants easier to catch. I went home and tried it myself and eat them all.

I'm currently reading Flashman which is ace (why'd I wait so long?) and mega unPC.
The Flashman books are superb.
