Writing Contest #3 - HMS Victory Humour Piece
The subject is: HMS Victory. ( http://www.hms-victory.com/ )The task: A humorous anecdote inspired by the ship, past or present, max 150 words.
Was that the "kiss me hardy" ship?
who are we sending our efforts into please ?
Oh, that'll tax the old grey matter.I can't do humour!
Can we add some rules and deadlines please. I have just posted on Amazon.... people might want to know a bit more :)
Hows that Simon? I did mean to do it but I was called away to a data centre on a different campus and had to sit there for an hour reading my kindle while someone else did the work. How terrible.
Perfect Jud. I wasn't telling you off, honest :)
To be honest, it is probably just as well you reminded me. You don't need to kick so hard next time though *sniff*
I can't enter, sorry everyone! I'm off to France in a bit, and wont be back until late on the 4th! Good luck to all who enters though (:
Humour's not really my fort. I'm better at spelling.;)

I think you're funny!
Yes, but I'm trying to get people to see my writing as funny ;)
as opposed to thinking you write funny?
Unless, of course, I'm writing something serious :)

Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "as opposed to thinking you write funny?"No, THAT was funny. :)
I didn't come here to be laughed at. There are plenty of other forums where I can go for that!:)
WITH Darren. We're laughing with you!
Wait, Darren's laughing at me, too? You're with Darren and you're all laughing at me?*grins*
Well yes. Could be worse though. We could be pointing and laughing...:)
snigger. snigger, point. . .
I am really struggling to do this in only 150 words. Does this mean I am really an author?
Simon (Highwayman) wrote: "I am really struggling to do this in only 150 words. Does this mean I am really an author?"Well, you're definitely something....
I'm certainly out of my comfort zone here but I've done it. I'm going to leave it to gestate (gesticulate?) for a day just in case something REALLY funny occurs.He doesn't like being called Darren I gather. Danger Mouse seems acceptable though.
I've stuck a post on your Writing Contest thread Simon.Edit - in Amazon, I mean.
Oh good, I will go over and collect my no votes :)

Oh good, a few more posts. (Yay! - And some 'yes' votes!)
Ah, the no-voter has found us. S/he got up late this morning!
I just went and Yes voted you all. It took ages, I don't know how those No-voters can be bothered! They must spend hours at it.

I thought I had sorted my settings so you didn't have to friend me before you were able to pm me but I'm not sure that has worked.
