Couldn't find my first, but here's my second...

Shitty sketch and tissue-thin skin. Classic case of lashing out at anything less than a head stroke. No doubt about it, 2007 Bussell was a real toolbag.
Well I seemed to like it back then. What a naive fool I was.
This was mine. God, how long have I been here? People were nice.
Thats like a skit from Thats Life, but in a good way.

Not bad at all I wrote something similar 3 years later, great minds think alike.
As I joined in January 2008 I think this was my first.

I think it's given me immunity. From what, I don't know.
I put all my faith into the scum suckers over at Celtx in the early days, so most of my first attempts at sketch writing are now dead links but as you can see whatever I wrote was unoriginal and needed a new twist. It's a good job no other newbie writer ever suffers that fate.
It's so sweet seeing all the back-in-the-days!
This is my second one, can't recall what my first one was called or any key words, although I do remember a long discussion with Marc about making words fit to tunes
Not sure if it was my first I can't remember, but there is this one.
Think it was probably this one:

Feedback was quite good, mostly (whatever happened to Barbs?); but then back in the day we used to be nice to newbies!
How are you finding these old threads?
Is there an accessible archive?
