How NOT to write a sitcom Page 3

Sorry, wrong thread. I wanted "how not to become a mason."

Edited SlagA - Caps

I'd like to know how not to not write a sitcom ... are there any suitable courses? ;)

Edited SlagA - spelling

I think the point is that no course or critique will be able how to write brilliantly, but when you are starting out they are good ways to broaden your thinking about sitcom and to get your work objectively appraised. Until your get industry people who will seroously read and consider your material, Marc provides a really good value for money service.

Yeah, yeah, writing from my new BlackBerry.
Already making look like a c**t.
When I'm basically just a wanker.
Happy now?

Your verse doesn't scan nor rhyme, Tim. Try this:

Writing from my BlackBerry
Looking like a c**t
I'm basically a wanker
'Happy now?', I grunt

.

You see - now Mr Walker can afford a blackberry.

No, Marc - you're confusing it with a 'Burglary'.

I think that EVERYONE I've met in the media owns a Blackberry. It's like part of the uniform or something. Mind you that new Blackberry Bold looks quite tasty.

NO! I shall not be sucked in!

Go on. Buy that Blackberry...live the dream. You know you want to. It's what's holding you back Lee.

You're in a meeting with the Head of Comedy and your phone rings. It's that fu**ing Nokia tune on a 6310. You don't know where to put yourself.

You may as well make your excuses and go. But with a Blackberry Bold?

Je ne sais de vivre my son! DING-DONG!

I purposely have an old skool monophonic ringtone on my mobile, just to annoy youngsters.

"Yeah, it's mono you little f**kers! Deal with it!"

Diddle-ah-dah, Diddle-ah-dah, Diddle-ah dah-dah!

It's retro but it's the way forward if you ask me :)

Anyone for a course on 'How Not to Pick a BlackBerry'?

It will be intensive. Bush, twig, and thorn-by-thorn breakdowns.

Please bring an idea, a bitch (you will bitch!).
