Who is the least successful writer who posts here? Page 2

I write my shopping list every week. And even I don't read it.

I have had very little success considering I've been writing for 41 years.

I won a comp on 4 laughs. The prize was a DVD: "Confetti". Awful rubbish. I may sell it on ebay.

There have been other tiny smidgeons of success I suppose and when I was in a gigging semi-pro band, for a brief while I earned as much from that as my day job.

(It was a pretty poorly paid day job..)

:(

I'm pretty unsuccessful, or rather unlucky - in life generally (see the 'when you were you most sacred' thread on the general board).

Frankie - I've won something weirder than you. I won a prop from Armando Iannucci's 'Time Trumpet'; a mock-up newspaper from the future, for this film I made http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/comedysoup/A14341970

Excellent, Nil. That puts you in the successful category.

I will always be in this category because no matter how much / little I'll eventually achieve I'll never rate myself. I even go to Lidl's on half-price day to save people money when they throw fruit and veg at me.

I remembered it from way back in the good ol' soup days and thought then, you were someone to watch. It took me this long to suss out you and Dolly are the same. Plus I missed meeting you at the Yeilding bash.

I was successful on ebay today, I bought a welsh dresser for 58 quid. I hope she is nice and brings a shoe horn.

If someone from the BBC writersroom discovered me in a room having hung myself, they'd put my suicide note at the bottom of the "to read" pile.

a shoe horn.

I only wear my shoes so never experienced that.

Remember it's illegal to f**k a shoe under 16.

What about Tiawanese flip-flops?

I think I've got a porn of that title.

A man was arrested years ago for having sex with a trainer.

He said he liked the tongue.

Same man had sex with a traffic cone. The police were going to cordon off the area, but he'd have got too excited.

And it's goodnight from him...

Ha!

I'm going to do a long rambling monologue in a minute, then a cheeky song using words like 'melons' and 'titmouse'.

My previous post was based on a true story mind, and it was in a file called 'stand up'. Can't see me ever getting round to having a go.

I meant f**king a shoe under SIZE 16, which presents me with one small problem.
