Up yours!

Basic rules are as follows

1 Some people will laugh more if you target specific people.
2 Some people will laugh less if you target specific people.

Really liked all your posted jokes (but agree they could be tightened)

Cheers for that. I'm beginning to see how, every sentence needs to be 'content rich'.
They were a bit rushed. I wanted to do a bit of a stand-up video to post on FB, to prove to my 'friends' that I wasn't the miserable git, they thought I was. It took me 3 or 4 days to get the material together, and I didn't spend enough time refining it, or the performance (30 minutes from finding my digital camera to finish editing). Some of the outtakes of me swearing at the cat were the best stuff.

I think I'll keep my original clip, then post it at the same time as I do a 'slick', rehearsed session. I'm hoping the improvement will speak for itself.

:( My God you are more prolific than me!
I will have to pull confidence socks up and begin.

Oh liked your stuff.

Thanks. I'm sure you'll be fine.
My problem is, I tend to think of stuff very early in the morning, then blank all day. Maybe I should work 6-2 as a comedy writer ?
