Anyone know if theres a limit to the number of one liners you're allowed? I thought it said 12 somewhere but on twitter the team are asking to 'keep them coming'

I don't think there's a limit, just make sure they're all in the same document.

Thanks, I won't go sending any more in then in that case as would have be on new documents

I seem to have 'drawn a Blenk' with the auto-reply.

I sent two sketches this morning, and plan to send a collection of one-liners tomorrow.

Dammit, I knew I'd forget all about this.

Oh well, maybe try a few one-liners.

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

"Drawn a Blenk" - very good.

Me too. What that does for the self esteem - being rejected by an automated process.

I just sent my one-liners. I've written a selection of voice messages (formerly vox pops), NewsFox stings and corrections.

Trabs didnt you score more times last time than Wayne Rooney in an Age Concern brothel?

Not quite. If we were using a football analogy, for the last series, I was centre forward who had spent the whole season failing to break my duck, missing sitters and hitting the post from close range, only to score a wild volley on the last game of the season.

Might be a new script editing team but I'll tell you this much. Not unless I'm terribly mistaken it's the same effing email robot!!!

;)

I like to think that I've not got the automated reply because the email robot is so busy laughing at my jokes...

I will have nothing in this week. Didn't even know it was on. I'm a little out of touch.

You've still got 164 minutes to get some one-liners in...

163...

You wait a day and a half for a Newsjack auto-reply, and then two come along at once.
