what's going on here?

Something that isn't really to do with any of the rest of us??

You're probably right, but from a neutral observer's view it looks like Mark is using his position to bully someone who's criticised one of his pals. It has got nowt to do with me though, so I'll butt out.

What this thread needs is more ill-informed opinions.

9/11 was a conspiracy!

Good idea.
Accusing people of bullying is a bit much, to be honest.

Children, please!

I think I'm going to take a step back from this as well.
As too many people butting in never seems to do any good.
Although It did seem slightly heavy handed over a bit of handbags.

Your avatar looks like an angry tarantula.

I'm trying to keep things on topic - and Jack keeps bringing up his beef with the Trials/Mission in threads (like this one). That's the problem. I've no problems with people stating their opinion even if I don't agree with it... but in the correct places! That all said, if you've got an opinion, it needs to be one at least factually checked, and you mustn't get un-necessarily personal, which is why I've stepped in here to remind Jack to calm it.

Yes, I'm in a bad mood and a bit stressed... and the fact this thread has gone on for another page shows I have shot myself in the foot a bit and scored an anti-goal in posting... but I was annoyed at Jack for calling The Sitcom Mission a rip-off. If he was aware of all the facts he'd realise that's anything but the case.

Please PM me with any follow up comments... at least then the thread can go back to what it's meant to be about.

I've only had pancakes once in my life. FACT. They were nice.

You f**king trolling liar! Where do you get off coming on here and talking shit about pancakes?

When respectable and established industry figures choose to grace this forum it's nice. It makes it feel like some people are actually occasionally lsitening to us.

So incestant and intemperate bitching doesn't help and makes it harder for the rest of us.

Most people who can afford £75 for a course know a little bit about life. Know what they're getting in for. Even if it's no more than dicking about with writers talking about subjects they love and maybe seeing a few people in a room read their scripts.

Jack frankly stop it. You may be embarassing yourself, your certainly embarassing the rest of us.

I think I'll have a go. Nothing to lose and good practice.

That's exactly how Darth Vader started. But good luck!

I haven't heard back from them yet regarding their company info and their submission guidelines. But this could be me; I seem to be on some sort of guidelines blacklist at the moment.
