That allows people time to get their shit together but isn't too far off. If for any reason loads of people would prefer a particular different date, or perhaps a Saturday, that's fine. </p> <p>I think Stan said he couldn't stay on a Friday but would be up for a quickie, so your luck could be in. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171368 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:38:11 +0000 Mary Evans 171368@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Desmond, that is a quite super idea.

The best that can happen is that your sub appears 'in print' for a day, for no financial reward.</p> <p>Don't worry about your humour 'not fitting'; just write something <em>funny</em>, ffs... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171282 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:06:10 +0000 Big Ben 171282@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I also like Nowherefast's idea of turds, but then I would. But it would focus us on the negative and a lot of people wouldn't cope with all that shit.</p> <p>My point was more about knowing how many people had looked at a piece by means of the 'hit count', not an argument over the scoring. A hit count would give the scoring further meaning.</p> <p>But now having compiled a list of 20 odd do's and don't's to guide writing I think as Bourbon says it's about enjoying writing, and the occasional crack on I'd say, but if your humour doesn't fit here don't expect to get very far.</p> <p>BTW I can't twist my knickers becuse I'm going commando. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171245 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:28:06 +0000 Squudge 171245@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>best idea all day </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171243 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:25:51 +0000 Al OPecia 171243@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep, time for a warm pint. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171231 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:23:58 +0000 Des Custard 171231@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mary!

If the powers-that-be like your work, it gets picked. If not, kiss goodbye to your gran. It's really no more complex than that. The votes here work rather like the Conservative power-base: nice if you have more than anyone else, but not necessarily a barrier to domination if lacking. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171132 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 00:15:05 +0000 Squudge 171132@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I like the turds idea ...can we get the Ed to change the system for tomorrow (I mean, today) and see who notices</p> <p>~@~ </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=58653&page=3#post-171128 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:44:21 +0000 Nowherefast 171128@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Des.
