He probably reads these boards, he's tracking you down.

It would be funny if somebody was tracked down and hurt over something they said on here.

Its Graham Linehan! :P 15 VOXPOPS 1 Correction and 1 sketch for me, I thought I would try harder this week as I'm going to the show so if I do manage to get anything on I can laugh extra loud :D

They did, but I don't think it quite stood up.

Well that's forums for you. I love Father Ted (first two series) and think 'disabled toilet' is the funniest single half-hour in years. But the nature of message boards means I'm fighting to the death with complete strangers over whether Linehan's 'lost it' or not!

Back on topic.

With Raoul Moat being the 'blue whale in the room' it will be interesting to see how they fill 30 minutes this week.

Though not on this forum!

I submitted 1 sketch, 1 correction, 5 vox pops. This week I tackled subjects such as John Prescott's betrayal of the working class, Israel's occupation of the West Bank, sectarian violence in Belfast, Iraq and the NHS. Oh, and also a joke about poo.

I'm going to wait 17 minutes before emailing my pisspoor vox pops. I want to send them in with mere seconds to spare. It adds a degree of fun before they reject them in favour of this weeks Viagra / "Amy Pond's crack" / "Ronaldo's son dribbling" nuggets of comedy genius.

Because, yes - apparently the script editors thought they were amongst the best in previous weeks. The competition remains fierce.

Knackers. I've turned cynical again.

Oh, what was this Gazza incident that they don't want material about?

(I know - should probably pay attention to the news if I intend writing for a news-based comedy show)

(PS. Before anyone comments that 17 minutes is too late, I sent the above message at 1643hrs exactly - the timestamp was updated when I asked my burning question about Gazza)

Gazza built his own space rocket and is now living on the moon.

What fuel mix did he use?

Tennants and Buckfast.

Green or Brown bottle Buckie?

I'm worried about him now.

He didn't say green or brown. It's a secret so that other people can't copy him and the moon becomes over-crowded.

True. There's a huge pile of my material that the BBC have just fly-tipped on the moon. Still, at least poor Gazza will have some top quality comedy to while away those lonely hours.

(If anyone sees a mod coming do shout so we don't get told off)
