A bit off topic, I know. How funny are comedians when they are not performing ie. in everyday life? I have worked with people who could almost reduce me to tears with their inventiveness.
I would have thought that there would be the usual range of funny and non-funny people in the comedic profession, but was just wondering. -
Hmm, a boat over a mountain, drug crazed dwarfs, this is sounding good.
Sorry you went to the wrong place R, the shooting schedule is kind of haphazard since it seems to have been written in a cave, translated from German into English and then severely pecked.
Are the Germans still in? If not, some of the Dwarfs intimated that they had some Swiss Gnome relatives who might be interested.
Or maybe thats hallucinogenic chemicals talking. There have been reports of Smurfs being seen on the set which is a worrying development as they are the drug pushers of the mythological community. -
Well day one did not go so well.1)How were we to know that John Key would want to walk around the site and 2) who gave the dwarves mescaline? Many of them are unaccounted for still.
Milos people are just a nuisance, strutting around and defecating in odd places. However one must be careful not to trip over when they are on set.
I think that Riddley may have been at the wrong location, especially if he saw Key who we deliberately sent to Waimaukau B, we were doing preparatory work in Riverhead forest (torch beams look really cool at night in a forest). We will need more purple potatos and some mackerels.Today is the crucial flooding river scene so I must talk to the Auckland regional authority about damming the Turakina river . -
Broad has admitted that this incident occured. The Bazely report said that there was a culture in the mid'80's where ugly sexual behaviour was condoned. this has been corroborated by testimony in the recent historical rape cases. So there's a niggling feeling that something was definitely wrong with our police force in those days.
While Karams interview was unfocused and gave very little detail, it did point to a wide spread perception that something was wrong.
I think an official investigation is needed and because the Bazely report only dealt with accusations made against the police, a new inquiry would have to be much wider.This is central to our society, people from overseas, who live here now, have said to me that they did not feel that they could trust police when they first arrived because of the societies that they grew up in.
It is too serious to have concerns for who political party will win or lose from it. -
Sorry about the headless state Heather Gaye, hope it gets better.
I think that Westham followers should be used to this sort of thing eg. having to beat the league leaders to avoid relegation, and then doing it. But it still has filled me with wonder and reminded me of why it's called the beautiful game.Also, 1st team to do the double over Man U and Arsenal in the same season in 30 f**king years!#$%!!!!!
Unbelieveable ain't it?

Just to raise a mouldering thread from the cold clay and because this is where some people professed their support for Westham United.
Best. Escape. Since. Houdini.

Rob you have my sympathy, a deafening stench!!
Thanks for the comments on the Fish and Chip scenario. I felt that if it was a "Vigil" sort of gloomy landscape with "Goodbye Pork Pie" action sequences it could be a winner.
A sub-plot could be the small community of Spanish Paua divers who live on the edge of town and how the Leader of the Night Cyclers could enlist their hlep in the final rescue of the potato rebels. Their help would be crucial and one of them might even die a Manly death.
For the German investors should we have some sort of redemption for the Gestetno? A sort of "We were wrong for following those orders, but we won't do it again". -
Um, Crikey! Greaaat work Rob!!!
Look, I'm having trouble with the school scenario. I don't see why it cannot be a group of rebel fisherman looking for ways to break the European potato stranglehold in the local Fish and Chips outlets. Ceaselessly they churn out agit-prop on the mighty Gestetner while dodging Gestetno patrols. After many amusing and horrifying scrapes they succeed in making contact with a group of rebel potato growers but a meeting of the two groups leaders is betrayed to the Gestetno and they are captured. They are rescued by the Night Cyclers whose beautiful and enigmatic leader has a modern relationship with the leader of the potato rebels.
Sample dialogue:
Potato carver 1: I am filled with subconscious sadness because these potatoes are harming our way of life yet provide jobs in our community.
Potato carver 2: Do not give in there is a group working to break the hegemony of the European potatoes.
PC1: You fool do not talk so loudly!!!
PC2: I was just saying...
Local Potato Rebel Leader: There is a meeting at the Pigeon warehouse tonight to meet the out-of town-Potato rebels.
Gestetno informer: My evil masters will pay well for this information. Bwah ha ha.
End of sampleYes it is formulaic but merchandising does not like innovation.

Those times with Milo in the jungle will never leave me, but I will not talk of them again. So many good pigeons will not be eating the nice seeds from their feeders tonight...
It is for them, that we make this masterpiece now. -
The subconscious sadness of the potato carvers
I think we have a working title here.
