Quote: Declan @ March 14 2011, 11:09 PM GMTAnd one sitcom opens with a guy in a wheelchair on the phone to his dad:
"You can't cut me out of the business, father. I'm half of this company...A quarter? How do you get that?...Oh, because I can't use my legs, well, that's a fair point, actually"
I liked that as well!
Anyway, good luck everyone. I can say this with great generosity as I decided to save Simon and Declan some time by not entering.
Right, I just want to know now, so I can go to bed.
Why I'm so interested in a competition I didn't enter, I've no idea...
Just got a rejection email. 
Pizza Hut don't want me to be their free pizza, cake and ice-cream tester, b*****ds.

Oh wait...I see a pixie...
I think the port thing was a brilliant idea to fill the wait but now I don't think I could see pixies even if they were there ...
(holds breath)
I just got so worked up I kicked my neighbours cat, laughed like Brian Blessed, took a dump in the sink then punched my mum.
Feeling fine now.

Behind every great writer is a port-induced pixie.
So it says on pg 343 of the Writers Handbook.

How intimate.
5 minutes to go.
And it would appear I've turned into the speaking clock.
