For some reason I did a Google search for 'Grauniad', and found a story that said it was now officially no longer funny.
Story of my life really.
Searched for "isle of Wight news", trying to find out if my mum and dad had died in the snow earlier this year.
Write your own punchline.
Someone posted a link on the Motogpnews forum saying "read this, it's really funny". Can't remember which story it linked to, but it was indeed funny, so I stayed. Ahh.
Aye, well way back when all this was fields, and cows, and some hedges. Oh, and some nettles too, I followed the secret path from the BBC Magazine website.
Think I'm knocking on for 3ish yrs now, and I still haven't found the magical stile that allows you to return to the "real" world.
I found it through reading 'Ventnorblog' which is an online alternative to 'The Isle of Wight County Press'.
I have subsequently featured in Ventnorblog for my newsbiscuit success.
A friend of mine owns a company that sells T-shirts displaying the words 'Wight Trash' and 'The Isle of Wight Can Depress'
I heard that O'Farrel geezer plugging 'Isle of Wight to get Ceefax' on the Steve Wright show around Christmas '08, and wrote my first sub Jan '09.
Saw 'Isle of Wight to Get Ceefax' in Waterstones.
I found it to be quite nice, really.
My mum bought me the JoF books
Hennell mentioned it on Writers' Dock (one of the spin-off sites from the closure of BBC Get Writing).
I first read about it here (click)
I blame MrChigleysAunt
I was mounting Joan Bloggs for the third time in an afternoon, and she screamed out "If you think this is boring, you haven't read Newsbiscuit yet!" The rest is comedy histoire.
Heard JoF on R4 when it launched but it took me a year to get round to comming here. Never looked back. It's a big old biscuit barrel of mishapes, and all the better for it.
My flatmate told me about it waaay back when and we instantly began an online FP battle of the type that no-one really wins (except for the readers of comedy bronze).
Heard about it from a friend of mine who recommended it. I haven't spoken to him since.
I read the same article as Malgor, I peered over his shoulder at work.
My mate introduced me to it. We then had a duel to get our own FP first. He then knocked out a few in quick succession, so to speak and nearly 3 years on, he has cleared off and I am still waiting. I speak to him infrequently now.
I was searching for NUDE biscuits, I was going through a whole jamie dodger fetish at the time. Got this place by mistake, those custard cream stains are a bugger to get out.
So you're Jammy Dodger's stalker?
