Ah, but what if you were allergic to one of the ingrediants? :D

Laughter is the best medicine!

Asking a writer to pitch a sitcom when there is a script written is like asking a baker to pitch his recipe. Just eat the cake for f**k's sake!

Exactly, Marc P!
Asking a writer to pitch a sitcom when there is a script written = Asking a writer to beg.

Ah, but what if 'they' dismissed writers who couldn't spell, or just ignored the spellchecker? :D

Awesome. I know Yacob Wingnut's written for them as well... I got a rejection from that quarter only last week saying "liked your sketch but not enough to use it sorry."

Hello - can you tell me/us where you sent your sketch for consideration?

This seems to be a recurring problem, that of creating something which is *perceived* as having already been done. Yet paradoxically, it seems that everyone wants 'more of the same' of a successful idea.

If you do something perceived as close, it won't be done. Do something completely original and it's too much of a risk.

This Topic is just not on! It's diabolical, appauling, self-indulgent... madness. I hate it.

Not sure it's self-indulgent - after all it requires that you list your shitty experiences too.

Well don't f**king read it then, dickhead.

Ahh don't you just love it when a plan comes together.

That sounds very much like an admission of deliberate trolling to me.

No take it as an admission of me wanting to smash your face in.

No I am pretty sure he meant appealing TIm.
