A little more complex, the last Pope was a s polish as pork sausage and anti semitisim, but was universally portayed as Italian.
But Benny was such an odd choice, his Germanic nature stuck.

______________________________________________________--- as an addition to your script - It was a possible way to cover your MISTAKE should you have kept it in. Your mistake being:
A GERMAN Pope saying, "and she not start, is a she broken?
As Badge said originally, 'The Pope's German isn't he? So the cod Italian doesn't work.
Trying to cover your MISTAKE by with "the last Pope was a s polish as
pork sausage and anti semitisim, but was universally portayed as Italian." and "Benny was such an odd choice, his Germanic nature stuck." (sic),etc, etc, does not wash!'You might dodge successfully for a while....' 1984
Maybe I was going for that tiny minority who focus on the humour in comedy, over and above factual accuracy.
Benny seems oddly absent from satire.
Come to think of it, it was an error in draft 1, I corrected in draft 2, why all the fuss?
Personally I thought the first version was livelier and funnier.
Always delighted to inspire a page of impassioned prose.
Jesus Morrace chill out. You're a tad obsessive don't you think? Why don't you post some of your own material up here instead of re writing everyone elses? Also this whole copying and pasting from past threads and online dictionaries is getting a bit boring. You're also telling people what they should have said in response to comments! Just weird.
SootyJ. Didn't like either. Both overly long without a decent punch. IMO.
Fair comment Wayne I guess I was looking for a way of fitting the story to the gag, and going for recognition laughs over construction.
n.b. Morrace seems like a lot effort for something I spent about 10 minutes on.
haven't been winked at by a "bear" in a while
Quote: Morrace @ July 19 2008, 11:42 PM BSTOi! You! – No not you - the Welsh geezer! Yeh, YOU – the one who said I was obsessive - c'mere, I want a word. No, no – I'm not gonna hurt you, mate. I just want you to read this – and read it good, OKAY? Right – nice one…….
____________________________________________________________________________________________Yeh, well - Ever since I was grass-high to a kneehopper, I've kept things neat, clean, organized alphabetically and numerically. As the years have gone by, I have realised that my obsession has possibly got a little weirder. I sometimes wish that everyone were like me. I get SO frustrated when certain BCG members criticise my critiques – because then I have to drop what I am doing (sometimes the wife), and criticise the fact that they're criticizing my constructive critiques. I should also mention that I am very quote-conscious - so much so, that I view the whole world as something that I need to cut and paste. If people think that this is a serious problem that needs treatment, fair enough, I respect that opinion.
You see, as a writer, I am CONSTANTLY re-writing posts on BCG; cleaning my keyboard; checking and double-checking each and every word I type. Not only that, I'm constantly washing my hands, sanitising worktops, crockery, cutlery, tables, chairs, lavatory bowls - you name it. I also colour-coordinate all the clothes in my wardrobe. Even before I make love to my lady wife, I insist that all the vibrators on the bedside table are pointing North-East.
When I am working at my desk, I make sure that not only is everything in its EXACT spot - but also absolutely straight (geometrically speaking, that is – I am not homophobic). Even when I am copying and pasting from past threads on BCG and online dictionaries (as I've just done), everything MUST be placed in order and lined up perfectly.
Whether or not I have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), I worry that I may cause problems to fellow BSG members. You see, I seem to be getting MAD at people for forcing me away from writing a sketch that I intend to post in the BCG ‘Critique' section. In fact, I had got as far as: ‘INT. FRONT ROOM. NIGHT. when I saw (and diligently copied and pasted) this literary gem from Wayne Lewis:
‘Jesus Morrace chill out. You're a tad obsessive don't you think?'Bloody cheek – a TAD obsessive? There is nothing TAD about Jesus Morrace's obsession - my obsession is MASSIVE! Got my gander up, or what?! Who is this geezer? So I checked his profile. Mmmm…. ‘Just starting out'. Oh yeh? Just starting out slagging ME off, more like! Upstart! Hang on a minute, what's this – ‘This user is open to job offers'? Shame. If he didn't live in Brynmawr, Wales, he could come over by yer and unblock my dwains (excuse the Jonathan Rossism). Where's Brynmawr, anyway? Oh – got this from Wannabedia:
‘Brynmawr has an estimated population of over 6000 people, very few of whom speak Welsh. However, the town does boast an unemployed sheep-shearer (sic) who is an aspiring, perspiring, comedy writer.'
Oh, and what's this? - He's ‘working on a couple of sitcoms', is he indeed? Yeh, like I'm working on a couple of cures for cancer!
_______________________________________________________________________________Right, that's it, Welsh geezer – you've read enough. I've gotta sketch to write! Now piss off!
_______________________________________________________________________________INT. FRONT ROOM. NIGHT.
BOY AND GIRL ARE SITTING ON OPPOSITE ENDS OF COUCH..........
IMO this is overly long therefore I didn't read it all. Actually any of it. If there is an abridged version then perhaps. Is there? Also writing in bold is soooo 1980's.
