    ooohhhh the sarcasm... ;) you must be good!!!

    cos some fucker in a wheelchair had written a script as well... and due to equal opportunities and all that pc shite they rubber stamped his.. there you go...
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    So do you reckon my situation means I could get a footplate in the door?

    By the way, sorry, edit: Have you seen 'I'm with Stupid'? I really think it's rubbish and could have been a lot more.

    If that's the case, Dunky's gonna ask Vedderlution to pay him a visit!

    What is more ethical? Me asking Vedderlution for her services in order to ENHANCE my comedy, or Dunkman going to her because he never even had an act in the first place?

    Tough one little f***. But you using vedderlution to enhance your chances could be viewed as you using your disability to get somewhere.. ie people taking pity on you... Now.. on the other hand... Dunky being Scottish could also use this as a disability thing (especially at the BBC) so maybe the playing field could be levelled!!!!! :D

    I've written two sitcoms, contributed material to bbc's comedy department for use in sketch shows and generally taken the piss all my life

    what have you done... 6 fucking etch-a-sketch's on your own blog.


    i bow to your comedic knowledge






    p.s. all of the above was me taking the piss... but in a non-edgy way :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm offended. This thread needs closing down, post-haste!

    Seriously though Dunk, I'm pretty interested in stuff you've done. Anything I might've seen? I'm new to this comedy malarkey. People have always said I'm pretty funny, but I have the self-confidence of a barnacle.

    I agree...

    Aaaarrrggh, NO you weren't supposed to AGREE. Otherwise it WILL be closed down, and I like this thread. Remember democracy. Where two or more agree, threads are closed down.

    I've been running around on these boards for three fucking years now and I still get refered to as a "her". I'm offended.

    LOL really? Man I'm sorry. I think it's the 'baby' on the end of your name. Too much time spent in chat rooms as a teenager.

    you won't have seen anything as the bastards rejected my 2 pilots :mad:

    but on an upnote (sorta) I was asked to re-submit stuff for sketches, etc. based on very short scenes... it would appear i can write funny jokes and shite, but i do struggle a bit with plot, character, pace, etc... the usual writing "rules". So in my last letter back they asked me to do some more gems of mirth

    So i have sent off sketch ideas, and hopefully they/one might be used... ideally i'd like to something on my own... but i'll persevere regardless..

    I was surprised when he referred to you a her because, after all, you were threatening mal-intent to HLF's kneecaps!!!! :D A lady wouldn't say that... they would threaten harm to another part of the body!!!! :D

    hahaha. no it's cool. I just rack it up to me being so sexy that eveyone wants to fuck me. Including guys. That's why they gotta imagine me as a girl. Cause they don't wanna have gay thoughts.

    Interesting. I've finished a novel, so story is my strong point. The question is can I make one funny. What sort of comedy do you like? My wife and I are heavily into the Mighty Boosh and Black Books at the moment.

    You hit a nerve there and it cut like a knife. You hit the biggest nerve in my body, actually.

    Looks like you two are meant for each other.. what would the 'partnership' be called? harmlessDunk? f***man??? Gotta think of that! :D

    EDIT: f***man sounds a bit too superhero-ish!

    But somehow I think it is a name that Dunk would be proud to bear :rolleyes: :p
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
