Did anyone else do this postal comedy writing course as I did in the early 1990s?
It was put together by Vince Powell and George Evans, and I thought very good with the two of them being most helpful. Mind you, for various reasons I did little with it after the course finished and certainly didn't get my £175 fee back with commissions. 
I did one with The Writers Bureau. (I had to learn to spell bureau first) also in the early 90's
They did a money back guarantee if you didn't earn your course fee in paid publications etc.
They have a catch 22 with that. The course doesn't end until you have earned your money back through writing.
For all I know, I'm still on their books.

Well here's an idea for you - write a sitcom about a comedy forum. PLENTY of scope about the nice people and "others", you know - character assassination. Plenty of laughs there. LOOK it's SO easy :-
