Which 'celeb' do you want to be lurking on BCG? Page 9

A few posts here and there recently suggested there were a number of "celbs" and well known writers lurking these hollowed boards under pseudonyms.

I'll go for Elton John - I'd love for him to be commenting on my tightly clenched butt cheeks

Aim higher bigfella, you're better than that.

This may well be the case.

Celebrity comedians are usually funny.

Well-known writers are usually good writers.

Both groups are, by definition, active rather than passive in their fields so would they really be likely to lurk on BCG after having taken the trouble to register?

Many of BCG's funnier and more literate members are known (by virtue of real-life meetings, etc) to be neither celebs nor well-known writers so who's left that might realistically be a celeb?

Well, I've seen newbies with blindingly obvious comedic talent immediately attacked and driven away by established members. Could any of these new people have been celebs?

I'll tell you one thing: if Peter Cook or Spike Milligan had joined BCG, they wouldn't have lasted a single day.

Please give it a rest with your constant jibes at people being attacked or driven away.

You yourself have brought things up most of the time (intro threads for example) and I think I ask, on behalf of EVERYONE else, to please just stop going on about it, give it a rest and just DROP it. It's 9am!!!!

Lets just go back to the way things were before all the stirring. :) I'm a tolerant person but I am so bored with all this. Thanks!

You're quite obviously NOT, Ellie - at least not today.

Today, you're clearly in a foul mood, a very foul mood indeed.

And you don't speak on behalf of 'everyone': you speak only on behalf of the few my criticisms relate to.

They don't like it up 'em, you know.

I will, however, desist from commenting further upon subjects that offend you.

SO, LURKING CELEBS EY?

I hope Johnny Depp is lurking and sees my love for him, and decides to leave his wife and run away with me. Seems plausible.

It won't when you sober up. ;)

Thank you. I shall look forward to that. :D

Mood has lifted.

Is it 'cause I did a sex on you? I thought that would help.

Yep, I was copying Bigfella's spread-eagled position and someone tripped and fell onto me.

Slaggy face (I love you).

:)
