Hello.
I've been a reader since the old days of sitcom.co.uk. Felt, at length, I ought to participate rather than just keep sponging off everyone else. I'm unemployed so thought I might as well.
See you around.

Hello Fence! 
Which side do you sit on?
Hullo!

Hi Fence,
Well if you'd just like to fill in Sections A - V or this 'Laughter Benefit' form, enclosing your passport and national insurance card, we should have your membership up-and-running in around 5 to 7 months.
Nice to have you on board, mate.
Tim

I always think of this as the "waving goodbye" emoticon, rather than the "waving hello" emoticon. So I always think when people greet other BCGers with this they're sending very mixed messages...
Hullo again!
Hello, I've developed Parkinson's disease in my left hand.
(Particularly tragic as I don't appear to have a right one.)

I've had mixed reactions to my gags about Parkinson's.

Well, it's always shaky territory.
Hi Fence. Are you a comic foil?
Touche.
Touchy, more like.

I'm not even convinced your hand is attached to your body.
Welcome!
Fence!
Thanks – I feel very welcome – despite everyone waving goodbye.

When they ask me what I've been doing for the past two weeks before they let me sign on I always think about telling them the truth: 'I'm working on a couple of scripts for a narrative comedy series', but I've always had the feeling they wouldn't accept that as real work.

Damn you people are quick.
