Richard, I see from your profile that you like "off the wall" stuff and have been writing on and off for twenty years. I am a big fan of skewed comedy myself but I struggled to find any purchase in your script. As Morrace says the spelling etc is pretty bad, even by my own standards so I would definitely sort that out. Being oblique is fine, but this, just seems random.

That's not 'off the wall', it's just nonsense that no one can understand.

We've had a spate of strange scripts recently and while I respect Zoo's opinion - indeed, I wouldn't seek to disagree with it - we must allow that 'total bollocks' can sometimes be the product of a brilliant mind.
Let me stress that I'm not suggesting our recent crop of 'bollocks-writers' are necessarily more talented than they appear or that their works are worthier than they appear.
I'm merely suggesting we should allow the possibility.
I just meant that the original reviews of Pinter were not that far off the mark.

I'm with Timbo on this. I can't stand Pinter.

A few stiff whiskies is exactly what you need before sitting through one of Harold's masterpieces.
I had put a totally different connotation on that...
I'm just pleased you got it.

And I don't suppose it was a KitKat.
More like a finger of fudge...
