News Grind

Ran into these guys, they're great and they're welcoming contributors:

"I've set up a new website to take on the handful of established satirical/ spoof offerings and I'd love to get more writers involved.

Frankly, we need more consitent material and I want to grow the site to a point where we can all earn dosh for making people laugh.

It shouldn't take long, given we have grown from zero clicks a day to over 1,000 in just three months.

Please check out the site: http://www.thenewsgrind.com/

And email me for more info about getting involved leehallfreelance@yahoo.co.uk

Comments, criticism all welcome too!"

You say email you, but you give what appears to be Lee Hall's internet address?

Michael is quoting Lee. Check the speech marks.

Who's Lee Hall?

Not to be pedantic, but shouldn't it read:

Or the quote in a quote box?

Sorry for any confusion. I was quoting the guy, email him if interested leehallfreelance@yahoo.co.uk. Check out the site too!

The site has got good feedback from writers on the Chortle forum.

Perfectly clear to me, Michael. Cheers.

Are you saying that everyone who comments on here needs to put their comment in speech marks? Because that's crazy talk.

This. I'm not quite sure how anyone could get confused about it.
