I've only done about 30. That's not enough. I've got about 18 minutes of material TOTAL but over half of that needs a he'll of a lot of reworking.

I'm not being negative, I'm just vey much aware of my limitations.

Don't sell yourself short.

It's just writing then rehearsing, with all the gigs you've done you'd walk it.

(albeit maybe work on call backs and linking narrative)

How many gigs have you done Sooty? Are you gonna give the Fringe a shot?

Hat's the way to do it. How soon do you reckon it'll be before you can do 60+ mins then? And if you become successful, I can be your co-writer and earn half your money, right? That offer goes for everyone! :D

The next year I'll probably do a bit more, but I don't want to even think of a full show until year 4 or 5 (50 mins plus), as you only get one shot at a best newcomer nomination.

Probably 20-30 over 4 flipping years!

Generally if I rehearse a week for each 5 minutes of performance I do ok.

No fringe for me this year, got some stuff coinciding with it.

I understand, I do find having about twice the material I need bigs my confidence up alot.

And call backs seem to be tricky to write but easy to perform.

Wassup zooo luv? Trying to buy an Ipad?

Ha.

I gave PC World my laptop to fix and they gave it back saying it was all fine, I got it home and every single thing on it has been deleted.

Yeh because that's the fastest way to repair. Wipe it all and start from fresh. They don't have the care that I do recovering files and mending busted systems for hours.

20 minutes. Shag disc in format install done.

Be glad they didn't do a Gary Glitter on you.

Oh no! All that porn! Gone!

Bad luck though, that's highly annoying.

It was the fact that they specifically said I hadn't lost anything that f**ks me off. Only for me to get home and find it all gone.
Dicks.

(I had backed up some of my stuff, but not all.)

20 minutes. Shag, disc in, format, install..... done.

You can do all that in 20 minutes?

You are an incredible man, Gavin.

Incredible.

Ha, what does that actually mean Gav?
