This sounds like fun(no sarcasm) wish was not 15 and female, it is too hard for women to be funny. I.e. there are no females on the writing side of 11OCS or The Way It Is, or anything. terrible, but I will change all this, but not tonight.

NB this message is garbled nonsense

Um, it seems to be quite hard for anyone who writes 11OCS to be funny.

Isn't Debbie Barham an 11OCS writer?

In any case, even if there aren't any, so what? It doesn't mean you can't be funny, RHC. Mind you, I'm not funny myself, so I wouldn't know.

Not you. You're too young and you're female as you've pointed out. Did anyone else go?
