Anyone got some good rejected one-liners they're willing to share? Here's one of my failures. Feedback much appreciated.

"The partners of Belgian politicians are being urged to withhold sex until a government is formed. Many people are calling for sex strikes to be introduced to British politics, with Michael Gove's wife thought to be particularly keen on the idea."

That's a loooooooooong list of writers for this week. I see Tony Cowards got something in as well.

Yey, well done Tony the pun master.

Thanks Will.

Well done to everyone who got on the show this week.

Congrats to Gerry, Jack and Aldrin!

I'll be posting my losers up in critique shortly, but quick word of encouragement to all writers - I'm taking out a contract on Tom Neenan. He'll be dead by next week, so chin up.

Gonna add a :) to that last comment.

Just remembered how easy things can be misconstrued! ;)

Well done to Gerry, Tony and Jack. Sadly I didn't get on this week, but then again I did have two things on last week.

Thanks guys, might just stick to fake newspapers and bin NJ as I am obviously a hopeless case. Where's Blenkie when you want cheering up :(

I'm here Will. Just sulking in the corner. Nobody loves me...not even a fuc*ing robot. :(

I propose a campaign to force Ian to include this as his new signature.

Really? Why have you taken until now to tell us?

Wow. That was easy.

Erm. I propose a campaign for Carmen Electra to become my housekeeper.

Well done to all of you who made the cut.

I'm proud to say this was my very first attempt and my very first failure. I'm sure it will be the first of many.

I'll listen to the show later. I need cheering up after sitting through 90 minutes of sheer tedium (S. Prague v Liverpool). I wonder how much Berlusconi is in it?

Laughing out loud

Congrats to those who made it; really is a big list of credits this week so well done all!
