Thanks for this Danno, it's really helpful.

I wish the BBC were allowed to show some of the rejections and tell us why they weren't used. But knowing my luck they'd show mine!

Thanks Danno.

Did a sketch but only had an hour before work again. Need to be better organised. Need to try harder. It was on Kim Jong.
Did business-themed newsjackipedias this week - one on water bosses.
Did some breaking news on the man driving whilst eating lasagne, Weight Watcher rebranding (also) and the woman drinking urine for breakfast (I like toilet stuff).
Good luck.

I read them at least once a day after submitting. I tend to obsess over every detail of them so am always re-reading.

Sadly, this doesn't confirm that you're normal. It just shows we're all nuts.

Pfffff...there goes another Monday deadline. Managed the full quota this week and feeling a little more buoyant, so here's hoping.

btw like the new look Danno.

@KingLob...I should imagine NJ gets loads of emails from contributors asking for feedback. Is that 'you're doing really well, keep it up' email an actual thing that happens? I reckon NJ sells our rejected jokes on the black market, apparently I'm an absolute hoot in Outer Mongolia and Azerbaijan.

@BTF...Good luck, I'm rootin' for ya! ...the pic is Swiss Toni from the Fast Show. Glad you like it.

I've substituted Playmobil figures in place of Lego people - Generally, I find them more receptive to my material

I did try in front of some Sylvanian families, but they were brutal

For one liners I went with - crisp packet graduation gown, increase in non-payment of vehicle tax and.......eurovision moment.....another vote for weight watchers
Newsjackpedias re Labour Party and Scottish dentists

our sketches were on Cryptocurrencies and the Tower of London Raven breeding programme. good luck everyone!

Good luck everyone. Day job got in the way this week so nothing in the mix for me.
