London Comedy Writers' Festival 2011 Page 4

Just realised I already follow on twitter, ha (recognised the twitter name as a BCG username).

I forgot the deadline was tomorrow. I've not done it all yet, ha.

I don't think I got anywhere with the twitter comp. I haven't seen any announcements anyway,

Well, at least I got into the top 25 of something, haha. No prizes for me though!

Yes, but technically you're still in the running for that 50 smackeroons...

Well done for making it into the top 25, Steve.

Congrats on the twitter. Really liked that idea!

Yes, not much consolation but nice idea Steve!

Ha, cheers guys.

I decided last minute that I definitely was going to do the script thing too, so wrote something in about 10 mins last night. It's an incredibly silly film spoof that won't get anywhere, but I love it myself

Oh, by the way, I won.
And I believe we were head to head at one point, Steve.

Congrats!

Really? Ha, nice. I wasn't even in the top 10 in the end either, strangeness

Well done sir!

Thank you.
I was only just in the top 10 of the longlist, then number 2 in the shortlist, and then the winner! Madness!

Now I've bothered to read them all congrats Marooned / Big_Mezza. That did make me chuckle and has conjured up quite an image.

I have visions of a man who can only look at or take pictures of two of them together rather than three, or somesuch, and when he sees them all together he's a nervous wreck

Thanks, guys.

His condition causes friction between the family and gets him into all sorts of scrapes, with hilarious consequences...

I find I can make myself laugh more quickly when thinking up loglines than I can when writing more traditional gags. The loglines are sort of like jokes really, and they're a good warm-up (for me at least) for writing funny stuff.

Stephen, did you enter something?
