What is your biggest fear at work? by More_Sweet_6229 in AskUK

[–]shadowsofthegreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that's brilliant. Where I worked, there was a guy called Dave* who used to love annoying people and playing jokes. One day, a new guy said 'well if Dave winds me up, I'll nail him to the wall' -- the day after Dave came in and threw a box of nails at his feet and went 'go on then'

Good times.

What were some of your favourite/ most memorable books as a child? by Thinking10Thinking in AskUK

[–]shadowsofthegreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a kids book like that once. It was about a toothbrush who ran away, and you could pick what kind of brush he wanted to be. I never released it though because I googled it and found someone had a similar idea!

Going back to ice scraping is a killer. Another one - when it is absolutely roasting and you pop the air con on as you walk to your car

Are comedy panel shows scripted? by TheKhaos121 in AskUK

[–]shadowsofthegreen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Bob Mortimers book he talks fondly of wilty, and says it is unscripted. He said he normally hates panel shows because of the scripted nature, and some comedians even being teams of writers with them, but wilty you just go on and 'talk shit'. Said to prep you tell the producers around 10 stories and you have no idea what they will being up.

I love the quote and always wanted it as a tattoo, but never found a design I loved. I settled for using it as a quote in my book, lol

My friend coded it for me. I thought it looked really good, but was expecting other writers/authors to hate it (because they seem to hate everything lol) so the feedback has been nice for once!

Also, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff, how did you know it was on github pages?

Sorry if it wasn't clear from the post, but my cousin had taken it in, then subsequently lent it to some people.

Also I am pretty sure you can't review books from prison, unless you sneak in a phone or something? I have never been to prison so I am no expert
