Well done. What's it about, then?

(Are you going to post segments on your blog in an attempt to drum up interest, or can I cheekily ask to read a copy? Please?)

You can read it later. My first readers are going to be family, cos if they point out a glaring mistake, I won't throw a wobbly.

Well done mate and I mean that quite seriously, well done - that's a proper achievement. As your close friend, confident, sitcom co-developer/writer and asker of you to be my best man - I think that I am perfectly allowed to ask for a peek at your script after your family have given it the all clear.

All those things you may be. But you are also gay. SO I must deliberate. Hmm.... okay then. You can read it.

NB- 1, I am a heterophobe, and mean no offence in my slur.

2- elwheelio is not gay. Either that, or Tanya's a very pretty man

It didn't feel like much really. The great joyous moment was when I realised I had the story completed in my head (prob November). The rest of it was just filling in the blanks. It was relief.

More importantly, I think now you're a big shot screenwriter, you should write your name: "I. Martin Wilson".

It would also sound very pretentious:

Mogul: "Hi, who are you?"

You: "I. Martin Wilson"

Actually, it makes you sound simple. Apologies.

I said that? You're more than welcome to 50% of any costs I may incur.

You can have a copy once I send it round for second readings. I'll make a list of people soon. And I should probably get it copyrighted... er. I mean, copyrighted again.

It seems that one I.M.Wilson now has ideas above his station, and feels unable to lower himself to blogging. Harumph.

I used to know I.M.Wilson, he used to speak to me before he became a hotshot Hollywood screenwriter

I have neither ideas, nor a station. I'm just on a blog-sabbatical, got lots to do, little to write about. I did write some poems, but they were a bit too personal to stick up. Y'know, about how big my willy is.

I'm up for non-virtual socialising though. Me and my brother David'll be going for drinks on Saturday eve, and I might be in Brixton on Friday for Roots Manuva after-party, 9pm-6am. Edward?

I have 22nd-28th March off work if you want a non-virtual meeting of some kind.

Well, on the 23rd, Gaz has bought Zutons tickets for me and Robin. Try and get some and come up too. They're sold out though. If you can't get any come up on the 24th anyway, and we'll have a nice day out. Gareth can play with some balloons, and we can have a chat.

I'll try and get some tix off a tout or something. Count me in, i'll come up and then we can spend the next day throwing things at Gaz
