It was only 10. You did an ace song, where I got about one rhyme in.

And I wrote a sketch with John McCaine getting the horn from Horlix.

Hah Bandage dont'cha wish you were in our clique?

This is just like mean girls.

Cheers.

I'm in a clique of my own, sootyj. We had a boss meeting today. It was me, and, er, well, me. But I was sparkling company, and the funniest there by a country mile.

We got on, so I guess we're not writers.

Albeit we did only really talk about writing.

Sounds like you had a good laugh.

I'll have to come next time.

Quote: Mikey J @ August 30 2008, 1:08 AM BST

Cool.
Have u posted your 2 sketches in Critique so that we can read them?

View original

I've put the one they used for a few weeks up in Critique now.

Just read it. Good sketch. And congrats for it being repeated 3 times.

There you go.
Running order for this weekend's show.

Sorry about the formatting.
I copied the text straight from their spreadsheet.

How does sootyj make it neater when he pastes it in?

Why oh WHY do NewsRevue put it in a spreadsheet anyway????

The Palin Frankenstein one was mine.

I'm not one for boasting, but.

I got Palin, I got Palin la la la! I got Palin!

Kudos to Griff and Mike yours got noticably big laughs and applause.

But I got Palin.

Sootyj 1 rest of the world nil.

Does this mean I can ask her out now?

Congrats.
I couldn't think of anything to write about her.
Mind you, I've been a bit busy working on other projects lately.

And yes, ask her out if you must.
She don't float my boat really.

Kudos to Griff and Mike yours got noticably big laughs and applause.

Luvverleeee.

I will have to take a trip up to London one weekend and see the show myself.

It would be soooo cool to see audience reaction to my own creations.

Yeah, I'll definiely do that.

Every now and then I visit London to satisy my lust of pubbing 'n' clubbing 'n' debauchery.

I'm due a alcohol/drugs/sex fest, in no particular order!

Maybe I'll tie it in with the next NewsRevue writer's meeting.
I assume they have such a meeting on every change of run/director/performers.

Oh right.

I guess I'll see all you lot in 6 months then.

Was that the Edinburgh show?

Quote: Griff @ September 9 2008, 11:01 PM BST

Just been to see NewsRevue at the Royal Academy of Music. Wow, I can now say I've had my songs performed at the RAM! Anyway, the NR performers were terrific as usual and it was a fab evening.

Chatting to some of the NR crew in the bar, it seems last week was a record week for submissions, with 150 having been sent in. Wow! I sent two. I guess sootyj sent at least 50?

View original

Last week i think I sent 8. Mainly caused by sexualised anger aimed at Sarah Palin. Still got one new and 7 over all.

Why on Earth would you send loads of sketches into the last week of a run?

Quote: Griff @ September 5 2008, 2:15 PM BST

No - NR writers meetings are traditionally every six months, although they may become more frequent. But I don't think it'll be as often as once per run.

View original

Back in the good old days the meetings were weekly. It was a good social - and many comedy partnerships were formed because of them. It's a real shame they stopped.
