Newsjack - Series 5 Page 60

I've clearly not got any sketches in this week's show. :|

Hopefully, I'll manage to get a one-liner performed though.

Yeah the crowd seemed to love it

25 minutes to go. I just need to finish editing my gags for critique.

I hate this time, I've just got an email trying to sell me tickets to a 'Steps' gig, I was not amused :)

I get them off Play.com, who messed me about for 4 weeks over a faulty digital camera, and off whom I will never buy again !!

Which member of Steps was it from?

Okay, it's an old gag of mine:

I'm not one to want to bring back capital punishment, but in 'H's case, I'd make an exception.

Some f**ker always sends me the iPlayer spam at 5pm on a Thursday.

I'd like to pancake them!

Does anybody else follow this cycle?

Check email (speaking of which, time to unsubscribe from Vue!)

Check BCG to see if anybody else has received an email, or posted the writer's list.

Check Newsjack page to see if writers list is up.

And repeat...

I go email - forum - email forum. sulk

I just assume failure so get drunk and start crying half an hour in advance.

time effective sootyj

I go gmail (to see if my writing partner got the email) - tentacle porn website- gmail - another tentacle porn website- and so on......

I follow that pretty much exactly. Pavlov is probably pointing and laughing at us right now.
Still, a laugh's a laugh...

I go email - forum - email forum. sulk

I too follow the email-forum-email-forum model.

With an occasional 5 minutes break thinking 'If I don't check they can't reject me'. Then cracking and going back to the cycle above.
