Also, each one will have to achieve above the national average results. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133583 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 22:01:43 +0000 antharrison 133583@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>When I thought of it I started to expand on my smartphone - which wasn't a smart move, so after 30 secs I cut to the one liner. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133515 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:01:58 +0000 Midnight Dreary 133515@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's the crowd behind him that's helping - it's like having another man sitting on his lap. Only without any of that nonsense, not when he's trying to write, and all. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133514 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:43:38 +0000 waylandsmithy 133514@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>See?

"We used to have to run a hundred metres in ten seconds, these days they hardly bother running more than nine! And I'm sure the synchronised swimming's got easier..." </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133509 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:36:23 +0000 waylandsmithy 133509@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yeah, it's a great one-liner, but it leaves you wanting more. Maybe justifying why all athletes will get a bronze as a minimum at the next Olympics, but chat show hosts refuse to recognise them? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133506 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:33:59 +0000 Midnight Dreary 133506@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>5 more gold*s, up you go. Works well as a one-liner, I reckon. Not to say its up couldn't be beefed. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133498 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 12:57:32 +0000 waylandsmithy 133498@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very good, definitely worth expanding despite someone one-starring it. Gotta be easy to write, right? Brilliant idea. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46374#post-133446 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:26:03 +0000 antharrison 133446@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>More soon. </p>
