Of course I'll be flipping onto Fox News to see if they get the story first.
BBC's New Writing Initiatives Page 15
You're either trying to be funny by taking the piss - which isn't very funny, or you're a genuine arsehole.
I submitted with a self depricating joke about my poor chances of success on the forum.
All clear?
I had a crack at All Mixed Up meself. I only found out about it a few days ago though. Slipped past the old radar. Ah well. Fingers crossed as always.
Oh and Writer For Hire - did you really think Sooty was serious about checking Fox News about his script? Amazing.
Nah probably didn't realise I'd also entered the comp and was mocking my own slim chances.

Writer for Hire did seem a bit tetchy. I rather liked it. 
Well I do bring that out of people.

Ironic, as you're weirdly touchingly vulnerable yourself.

Sooty's always weirdly touching his vulnerable self.

A bit! Are you taking the piss because it's not funny you genuine arsehole!!

That'd be a great signature: "Not funny and a bit of an arsehole!"

Bushbaby, "Fnaar Fnaar" is from a cartoon strip in Viz Comic called "Finbarr Saunders And His Double Entendres". Finbarr makes strange noises whenever he spots something potentially rude in a sentence. eg:

I'm going to scoop out your wife's uterus and use it for a potpourri dish! Arrrrggggh!

Or an obituary.

Pah. I'm going to pull your Grandma's fallopian tubes out through her nostrils and use them as straws to snort Vim!

No. I didn't think he was being serious, I thought he was taking the piss. Since this is a forum it's very difficult to pull off jokes like that and not come off as taking the piss.

Oh, right, I've never seen that cartoon strip.
Sootjy misquoted me anyway
