Hello.
I have been browsing these here forums for a few weeks after stumbling across you from a random Google search. I liked what I read, so I thought I would register and introduce myself properly.
I have been writing a 'humourous' blog (anonymously) for the last couple of years, and in that time it has become quite popular (for a blog). As a result, I have decided to try my hand scripted comedy.
Other things about me you should be aware of, I am not a mentalist and everything on my criminal record can be explained away by youthful exuberance. Or being dared. I am a sucker for a good dare.
Until recently I had a high powered job dealing with banks in The City and stuff. Honestly, it was dead important. But I decided on a change of pace, giving me more time to do things I enjoy. Like introducing myself to perfect strangers on the Internet.
I am reasonably smart and have absolutely no intention of being 'groomed', so don't even try. That last time was a one-off and I was very drunk.
I guess next up is for me to post some of my stuff to Critique, right?

Welcome Smithy! With that name you could be potentially a guy I knew, or my History teacher...but due to its popularity I'm guessing neither.

There was a Scatterbrained Floozy in my Geography class back in the day. It's not you is it?

Hi.
I don't think you have to post anything for a critique unless you want to.
I have learned lately that some people have strong opinions on the matter. Not necessarily well informed or good opinions. But strong ones.
And I have no idea what the girlie pirates are.. but I like Ellie's hat.
All good fun innit and the sun is shining again. Hoorah.

Ahah. She did tell me she was a girlie pirate once but I confess I didn't have the nerve to ask her what on earth she meant.

a) Hello.
b) The City, you say?
c) Did you get paid a lot?
d) Can I have some of your money?
e) Hello.
f) The 'girlie pirates' are a defunct, lost race. Like the Aztecs or something.
