Go for it. How will the judging be done? Will the great British public be able to televote? What will the dosh generated be used for? How have GPs reacted to the news? Loads of potential. Good luck. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96844 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:50:03 +0000 waylandsmithy 96844@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That's a great bit of work, nice one! Funny too, which helps. </p> <p>The Stephen Hawking reference is inspired! I don't know who Jessie Jay is, which means he/she is either a football player, or a contestant/judge on X Factor/I'm a Dancer Get me a Brother. But that's not a fault with the sub. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96839 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:11:12 +0000 mpaterson 96839@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Okay, I'll leave it at that I think. I've got to go an collect a second hand cooker for someone now. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96837 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:44:53 +0000 waylandsmithy 96837@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just a guide! NiBs (news in brief) are typically 150 words, FPs anywhere from 350 to 450. But bear in mind its easier for an editor to cut than add, so going slightly over isn't a major issue. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96833 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:17:06 +0000 mpaterson 96833@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>150 words. Okay. I'll take that advice of focusing on quality over quantity too. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96830 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:05:52 +0000 waylandsmithy 96830@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If I might make a suggestion, it's worth spending a bit of time on one sub and making sure you're really happy with it before posting it, rather than submitting lots of good ideas with no development. This idea is a great place to start, if you can write a tight 150 words it'll easily make it as a NiB. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96829 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:56:03 +0000 mpaterson 96829@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Okay I shall, thanks! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96826 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:49:16 +0000 waylandsmithy 96826@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Great idea, definitely worth expanding to at least NiB length, but easy to extend further and try for an FP. Go on, give it some thought! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34266#post-96823 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:32:31 +0000 mpaterson 96823@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>People's fitness for work is to be judged by Independent Television (ITV) hosted by Jeremy Kyle. Tasks will include 'standing up from a seated position' and 'rubbing your tummy whilst patting your head'.</p> <p>It's hoped the show will produce another Stephen Hawking. Kyle even enthused 'we're passionate about taking ordinary people and giving them the chance to shine people's shoes or office toilets.'</p> <p>The Show, 'Britain's Got Lazy' will be judged by Lord Tebbit, Jessie Jay and a Brick Wall. When asked why she wanted to be a judge, Jessie said, 'bit of a laugh really, plus I get to sit down a lot'. </p>
