***NEWSFLASH*** Sooty J falls off tall horse

INT. DAY. NEW YORK APARTMENT.

Sooty J, Fred Sunshine and Big Fella are sat on a sofa watching t.v. Morrace enters

Morrace// Hey guys! Wasssssuppppppp!

Sooty J, Fred Sunshine and Big Fella (in unison) // Wassssssssupppppp!

Morrace// So, what you guys been up to?

Sooty J// (sounding downbeat) oh you know just hanging out

Morrace// oh no I know that tone, you guys have been arguing about ellipses again haven't you?

BRIEF SILENCE

Fred// It's 3! That's the limit!

Sooty j// No it's 6!

ARGUMENT STARTS

Morrace (looks to camera and shrugs shoulders)// we're like this all the time

TIME LAPSE SOOTY J IS NOW SEATED AT COMPUTER

Big Fella// What ya doin Soots?

Sooty J// Oh just writing a skit for news revue, it's pretty funny and if I may add, rather topical.

Big Fella// Blimey Soots, you must be rakin' it in with all the skits you do for those guys

Sooty J// (Looks at Big fella) Well anyone who knows me knows I don't like to bragg, but lets just say the 12p for my last effort has come in very handy. (looks back at computer) yep just another £15,999.88 pence and I can quit me day jobaaaa.

Big Fella// Which is what exactly?

Sooty J// Oh you know the small brown bits of shit which sometimes gather round the basin of a toilet?

Big Fella// yes, of course I do. I am a regular contributor to the BSG website after all.

Sooty J// well I sniff them, and sometimes I like to pick them up, smear it over my computer screen and post it on the internet

Big Fella// oh OK (WONDERS BACK TO OTHERS SITTING ON SOFA)

Fred Sunshine// So lads, what are we gonna do tonight? Get into all sorts of unimaginative, poorly constructed and highly unoriginal japes no doubt.

Morrace// Or we could stay in and write some sketches?

GROUP STARTS LAUGHING

Big Fella// Good one Morrace, I liked the start but I do think the punch line could have been stronger, it was pretty decent though. I see that more as a sketch rather then a serial comedy.

Morrace// Oh Big Fella, I thought you were having tonight off?

Big Fella// I know I know! I just can't help myself.

Morrace// (LOOKS TO CAMERA) We're like this all the time!

THE END

:D :D :D

I had to laugh. I just had to laugh?

but he has just posted it and pissed off?

Why does Nitram get stick on here though?

his work is good.

You found the picture you wanted then Griff? after the third attempt.

If you know who Nitram is, then this is actually very funny.

I think this is often true of in-jokes, which are rarely amusing out of context.

what do you mean Don, am I missing something about Nitram?

Oh, is he going under 2 names on the BSG...

Maybe even three.

Martin Riks?...

No. I don't think so.

And do you know who he is?

And do you know who he is?

I'm not 100 per cent - it's just I thought I recognized the writing.

Whoever it is, they have talent. I just wish they would channel it in the right way.

They did, in an English/French sitcom. Wasn't the right way though. :)

I'm fairly certain, from what I've read, that he does channel it in the right way. Unfortunately people on this site appear to be quite "traditional" in their sketches and thoughts on comedy and so aren't open minded enough when someone else tries something innovative.

I think he was perfectly justified in writing a humourous "piss-take" of the names mentioned as they do appear to have been giving him a bit of a hard time on other threads giving aloof remarks rather than constructive feedback

Nitram, this was clever and very funny! More like this please!

Oh - and before anyone thinks I'm a 'friend' of Nitram; I refer you to to my edit/re-write of this:

Interesting... and then you allegedly don't know?

Quote: Scottidog @ May 4 2009, 8:29 PM BST

Oh, is he going under 2 names on the BSG...

Even more interesting. Perhaps, the natural reaction might be "so, Nitram works in comedy?" (though that's for the reader to discern). But no - immediately, the reaction is about multiple BSG identities.

Could just be a case of suggestability of course.
