I'd have quite the trek...I'd go if I liked the winner I guess, plus it's an excuse to buy a new outfit.

Flattery will get you all the ice cream you want Gravedigger

I think I might write a play where it's finally scientifically proven that men are louses. Apart from you guys, you're all special.

Do you think it likely, C4 will invite the unsuccessful entrants to the 1st night-or at least offer cut-price tickets?
Of course if the numbers ran into the thousands-perhaps not
tho' all who enter are contributing, exposing their fragile egos to harsh rebuff

What do you drink?

I don't think anyone would want to see that play.

Vodka and orange.

But I'm not allowed doubles.

Well, something is messing it up again

And of course the forum is playing up. It's almost reassuring that it doesn't work now.

Oh what an opening night this would be!!!

Crampy's passing out buiness cards, trying to tout for AmDram business.
AdMan's trying to be the host with the most, while shoving fly posters about a playwright co-op over all the C4 signs.
JaysPlays' trying to park the limo without spilling his brown paper bagged bottle of hooch over his dress uniform.
Then enter LML, replendant in ball gown (a Liz Hurley affiar I think), srides confidently down the red carpet...

When... "Da, dit, dah... Da da dit dit, da dit de da..."

Full on "Village People" with a striping playwright, druken sailor, Ad Exec and buiness touting web developer!

Oh God, I laughed so hard at that I cried. Even if we don't win we'd be the centre of attention.

LilMissLesley threatening to give me a tongue-lashing?

Hmmmmm ... why can I hear Village People singing in the distance?!

Oh why did this thread have to start after the deadline had passed…? We’ve got one heck of a collective entry…

A writers’ circle decide to enter The Play’s The Thing, get short listed and invited to the opening performance… We don’t need to develop the characters – we’re all here!

Guess that means more strawberries for me at least

LilMissLesley

Is that a strawberry inuendo? Oooeer Missus!

" Oh, no, don't. I mean, no, ah no listen - lisstten! Not you, you can shut your face! No, I've been in a spot of bother lately - yes, me! Me! Moi! So I'm appealing to you - well perhaps not all of you - maybe not to any of you - but I'm appealing for succour. Succour from all you suckers you see! Ha ha. Oh, well, please yourself. No, see, I had a 'phone call from the Production Team - yes, from the Production Team! And you could have knocked me down with a feather - I thought the 'phone had been cut off it was so long since I'd had any work, ha ha! Anyway, it was from Channel 4, you see - yes, Channel 4 - so of course I said I'd accept the charges ..."

" Anyway, they were saying their viewing figures had just gone down by half - well, it was only to be expected, I'd just turned the set off to answer the 'phone! - no, listen - so I thought I'd go and give the head of Channel 4 a bit of advice, because I knew where he lives you see."

" So I got to his house and I told him - because I'm very forthright, me - oh, yes, too stupid to be anything else - shut your cakehole you - and I said 'Look, mush, we've upped our standard of creativity - no, we have - we've upped our standard of creativity, so up yours."

"Well - yes, I did! - well I don't know whether he took the advice. It's a bit diffcult to read facial expressions when you're shouting through a letterbox."

Sorry. Feel better now.

Adman,

like the FH mono. Think you have missed your vocation, or need a vacation.

I'm just bloody glad people recognised the style!!! Do you know how hard it is to flash down a rapid Howerd mono without saying 'my flabber has never been so gasted'!?

Of course, now LilMiss is going to make me feel like climbing into the box when she asks 'Whos Howerd?'!

I'll keep my mouth shut then. I'm sure it just makes me look ignorant.

You're treading on very dangerous ground there!

LML,

Don't fret it... I've been in the Navy for over 9 years now - and I still can't do morse... (I'm not a communicator - and I am VHF qulified with a half decent RP)

How did I do the stuff I've inserted in this thread? Easy... I went to Google and typed "Morse Code Translator"

Gravedigger,

You are not alone, I think we are a dieing breed. Gets in the way of writting doesn't it?

Gulp! Did I put my phone number down wrong again? Anyway if they are looking for me it will make a change from creditors and irate husbands.

Well Playfull, I'd do my best for you...

The Production Team were having a good old nose. We might have just frightened them away though.
