It was a good gag to be fair. Made me laugh anyway.

Thanks Ian!

You're very welcome. Just be careful your millions don't corrupt you

Good gags.

If you ever see the show, they fiddle with your stuff allot, so getting your stuff dead bang isn't necessary.

I got a sketch in too.

So that's at least 4 BSG'ers this time!

Wayhey!!
Got one in.
Excellent.
Unfortunately my internet is out so I can't access the BBC website, which is really useful for writing stuff on the go, without having to fork out for the currant bun. I can, however, still use my Gmail and perform Google searches. How does that work?!

Hopefully it will be working soon.

I think Seefacts has tampered with it to stop you posting any more sitcoms

Thanks for posting that. Haha, Laurel and Hardy got in! Very pleased with that indeed. The Blackadder one's got in for a third week too, it must be going down well. WISH I were there to see it

Oh great, that's good to know
I bet they have a lot of fun.
It's a bit weird not seeing stuff performed when it gets in! I am going to London in a couple of weeks though, so hopefully I'll be able to see the show, and it'll be a nice bonus if I've got anything in that week.

Really?
Hahahahaha, that's funny. I can just imagine Darling quietly seething, keeping a lid on his rage until his eyebrows boil over.

As ever, amused and confused by the ones I got in.

Fingers crossed that something of mine is in this week's run as I will be making an appearance with family (and my 13-year-old brother... assume he'll be OK!) on Friday.

Still, whatever's on, it'll be really useful to actually see the show. Looking forward to it.
