Don't take me to heart Manchester <3
Wow, wasn't it only yesterday they were saying they hoped to contact all the 'nearly top 40' people by the end of this week and the top 40 by next Monday?
They're really cracking ahead with this selection process.
so is anyone a top 40? come on. lets be having you etc.
You wish, bushbaby.
I haven't had an e-mail, boo. Is it silly to hold out until Monday?

Is anyone actually doing any comedy writing amidst all this fretting...

Not as from today, I'll pack it in I think and concentrate on the novel I'm writing.

Nevermind comedy writing, I'm supposed to be working on a funding bid for a charity and I'm arsing about here.
And I'm supposed to be doing serious IT work, but we keep getting side-tracked by what may as well be problems like this:
Dear IT
As you may recall, last week I experienced a rather complicated problem. In an attempt to go to the toilet, I appeared to forgot to pull down my trousers. As a result, I shit not only in my trousers but also in my shoes. The request to urgently remove the shit from my shoes and my trousers was not treated with the high urgency I expected. This level of service is unacceptable. I have had shit in my shoes and my trousers for a week. Please remedy the situation forthwith, as this is an IT problem.
Big Cheese Somebody Important
So forgive me if my fretting is merely my way of turning off reality...

Just do what you normally do and ask him to reboot his shoes/trousers.

I've been doing it for the past two to three weeks. I just finished another draft of something I'm working on. This (rejection, if you want to call it that,) has now made me want to improve it even more.

"Have you tried taking them off and on again ?"
What about that guy who arrogantly started this thread claiming he was a shoe in for the scheme? I do hope he's got through. 
Well I didn't hear anything back, but I don't feel tooooooooo disappointed, mainly because I fear I may have been one of the vastly underqualified people.
I only have a little sketch on youtube and a couple of radio monologues so I guess I'm running before I can walk in this field!
Hey ho, running is supposedly good for you.
You get people who even run in the rain...freaks..
