      Send me the script anyway - I promise not to spam you with suggestions, as I think I did above

      But I thought it would be cool because you can be sure they'll be witch hunting to find your sources so nice to have a false trail or 2 in the credits

      I don't think there is anyone in Australia with the surname Horse


      Actually I'm also curious to see what a TV script looks like, how its formatted etc. I've never seen one.
      Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

        Sunny days? Yesterday it was overcast all day and p*ssing down. And Brissy is the last place you would find me in summer. It must be a stinking humid rathole in summer. As distinct from being just a rathole in the other seasons.

        And, no, I won't be going to Ipswich. I know about Ipswich.

          In the early days of "Who Wants To Be, etc", 9 were averaging around $200,000 a week from the phone calls to register to play the game. They were basically funding the show's prizemoney out of the phone calls. Their masterstroke was to have the requirement that people had to re-register every week. Thus guaranteeing the massive cashflow.

            I'll try to get online for a while tonight (but can't play any Civ). I'll get your address and send you a copy of the first draft of ep one. Actually, the hardest part of writing the series thus far is trying to find the "knowledge line" - the series is being made, obviously, for the great unwashed masses, whose knowledge of the minutiae of politics will obviously vary; yet we also want to give the insiders a good giggle.

              Typical mexican, gets one day of rain and they think it always raining, you failt to mention a lovley constant temp of around 24 degrees for the daytime and whilst the night gets cold , still better than mexican weather...

              But I am glad you and other mexicans think this a rat hole, will keep more of them out... !!!

              I love it over here now, doesnt take long to get used to slight increase in Humidity and when it doies get bad in summer, you just switch on the air cons , unless your yuppie office doesnt have one of them !!

                        Is Finbar Dead?

                        Finbar has not been around much lately and on the weekend Deity asked about him and Alexander's Horse claimed that finbar was in fact DEAD .

                        I was wondering if someone could confirm this as finbar did have to go to Brisbane and like the Bermuda Triangle , many do not return.

                            I know better than to be winning in games now, a close second is what I aim for in any Aussie games .

                                The next five or six weeks for me are non-stop day and night work. Hopefully, at the end of it all, if I'm still alive, I'll be able to play some Civ.
