I'll wait till the wankend.
Thanks Nabbit . Good luck for the wankend, Michael.
This new schedule is weird. Under the old scheme, Friday mornings were for overcoming disappointment and motivating myself to submit for the next episode. I wonder if the 'drop-off' pattern will change? Maybe fewer of us will lose hope until later in the series. (Maybe that's why they changed the production schedule!)
I expect nothing but hope for the best .

Thanks mate. And as I posted last time around, remember that each rejection is just one step closer. To the next rejection.

Yeah, you have to remember that this is the Beeb so competition will be fierce. You can submit and have a tiny chance, or not submit and have no chance. Tantalisingly, I once had a one-liner recorded but it was cut at the last moment, sob. BBC upload is a safer bet.
The latest theme is " Stranded" so good luck to anybody who comes up with something for that .
Conspiracy Theory Time: They're making the themes harder because they want less submissions.
Next week's theme: The Herero and Namaqua genocide (1904 - 1907).
'Next week's theme: The Herero and Namaqua genocide (1904 - 1907)'
I think this is a lie as I believe this genocidal event began in 1903. I've prepared a voice note anyway just in case.
The word on the comedy grapevine is the next topic will be " Black Holes - Real or made up by Brian Cox " .

This is great news! I have a really funny innuendo to make about Brian Cox's last name!!!!
I don't want to give too much away, but "Cox" sounds like "C*cks" and that means "Penises", which is humorous.
Way to go , Yacob !
Submitted three sketches. A bit tougher this week. Out of interest: how long do you guys spend on writing a sketch? I think I spend up to fours hours on just the typing/editing stage. but that's after a few hours (per sketch) of thinking and making notes.
About 4 hours in writing it up. I usually get my best ideas on the toilet so thinking time really depends on how long it takes my bum to become numb. Also why my contribution is oft referred to as a complete pile.

I've only been submitting one voice note one liner thing for this show . So I get an idea quickly ( or not) record it by the 2nd or 3rd take . So over all not long . Don't want to overdo it at my age .
