Yes those two posters (I think the other one was AHM?) were just horrific.

Weren't they the same person? just an abbreviation of the name I thought.

No worries, it was a perfectly logical guess! And in fact I did worry slightly that people would think it was me as soon as I saw the question myself.

Although - I suppose there's no way of anyone knowing if I posted several questions under different names, some of which were slightly abusive. Of course, I'd have to be a proper mental to do that. We're talking Bill Oddie mental.

In all fairness your avatar is giving me the fingers :P

Don't be paranoid, it's giving *everyone* the fingers.

Shandonbelle - you're smart, I hadn't noticed that! (That's not sarcasm, by the way)

Yeah that genuinely didn't strike me SB, he probably changed it when his questions stopped getting through(?)

Well the tone of both was the same so makes sense.

It was almost certainly the same person using a different signature.

JobBloggs69 - Sorry, I feel a bit bad for raising the question, I said it as a joke. I didn't genuinely think it was the work of a BCG member - no-one here is that bitter...well, not on the writers forums anyway - go to "General Discussion" and there's all kinds of crazy. ;)

Honestly I think it what some person who after a series (or several) not getting on wanted to find a reason why their genius jokes/sketches had been ignored, I mean it couldn't have been their fault, clearly it was the Newsjack team.

But you may have already implied that using the term bitter...

There's still the more important matter outstanding - Crake what did you get on this week's episode?

There's still the more important matter outstanding - Crake what did you get on this week's episode?

I wrote a sketch which, except for the first line, was completely rewritten! It was the David Cameron's history of the world thing.

Has no one submitted this week (other than me)?

Congrats Crake!

I've submitted a couple of sketches, and responded to the NJ advice of avoiding stuff that might attract lots of the same jokes. So, I wrote three Savile sketches and dropped one for not being offensive enough.

I sent in three this week on:

1. Trains fiasco and DfT's modelling
2. Running out of electricity in 2015
3. Mice cloned from skin cells.

Just checked one of my sketches I sent in and realised the last minute changes I made included typos - arse!

I have indeed sent 3 in. The hilarious subjects I covered were:

Still can't decide on a new Archbishop of Canterbury
David Cameron trying to upstage Boris in his speech
And the perenial Euro-Zone crisis
