RE: THIS IS ME - HELLO STEEMIT :) :)
Very entertaining introduction! And what can I say about that wonderful mention... Thank you very much, that was too kind. I will remember that.
Typical reaction from the Scotish, lol. Make me think of the terrorist that tried to blow up a scottish airport. The guy set himself alight with his own explosive and then got kicked in the bollocks by a local. You couldn't make it up!
As you are a comedienne, I will offer you my favourite performer. Steve Hughes "While it's still legal" Has me in tears every time. What is your favourite comedy set?
Hey @article61 thanks so much for stopping by, I was up until after 4 this morning reading posts tagged with @familyprotection, I blame you for my lack of sleep lol. Some heart wrenching stuff I can tell you. Love the terrorist joke :) I'm a budding comedienne at the moment, have been writing a lot of material over the last 8 months, I'm yet to stand on the stage yet so I may do that next time I'm in London. I love a lot of comedy and comedians, the classics such as the Carry on Films, Tommy Cooper, Norman Wisdom, Will Hay, Dara O'Briain, Lee Evans, I love Sitcoms, and would love to write one some day :) I have heard of Steve Hughes but never watched him, I will see if I can find "While it's still legal" online :)
Was up late too. Yes there are some great authors and harrowing accounts on @fp. Well good luck when your first attempt arrives. There is the discord channel and I am sure you could do an audio routine on there. It a service connected with steemit. I'll send you a link if you want one? Great choice of comics, but I suppose it all personal taste. I watched a guy at a festival who stood on stage and just shouted "Up there!" and other random comments. 5 minutes in and the whole crownd where shouting at him, to get off stage. After he finished, the mc came back and told us that that is exactly what he wants from his act/audience.... He ended up getting a double-decker(chocolate-bar) advert with that character. Don't get it myself.
I once had to do some community service(Fighting, drunk of coarse). I chose to help the elderly and work with kid at weekend clubs. It was a fantastic experience and where I found out that I was "good with kids" as they used to say. Aside from that was the characters I met on the way. You could fill a book with stories of those days. Very funny moment was when we took some old-dears around a local market and I wheeled one up to a dvd stall. 3 rows back and it was a line of porn videos that you could not miss! She loved em and we had a right giggle about it. Mucky old lady ;) Always thought that would make a good sitcom
Lol you can't beat mucky old ladies :) I will be one some day, I plan on growing old disgracefully :) An audio routine sounds good, however, I feel more comfortable around people, in a room, I will think about it though :) Can you send me the link anyway please? I could do a lion bar advert, I have the paws lol. I'm sure I will probably have a run in or 2, drunk, in future. I will be posting my story on @fp I may do it in 1 part or split it into 2, not sure yet. I can only speak about my experiences as a child in the system, I don't know much about the system itself, although I am learning with everything I have read, I even find myself questioning stuff that's happened over the years. Oh well, no time to dwell, thanks for all your help :)
HaHa me too, gonna be a spaced-out old timer. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough for stand-up, it must be good when you get everyone laughing though? Have you wrote out a routine?
That sounds a good approach to write about what you are experienced in and then it will come more naturally and should be very useful for someone to read. My mum work within the SS, but isn't a social worker. She does visits before the ss go in and she doesn't want to believe what I tell her. When it is an account from someone who actually went through it, it becomes undeniable and then my mum will be wiser for it. You have made the world a better place just through writing an article :) Very brave of you all to share your experiences.
Yes I will send you a link. You should come listen to the mspwaves broadcast. I was up all night talking and listening to the people on the show. Great way to get to know some good people.
discord - family protection
discord - mspwaves
There are loads more discord groups for every genre, but I like the msp one a lot. They made me feel very welcome last night.
Just remember to read the pinned posts at the top of the page. Oh, and the app is a lot better than the browser version.
See you around :)
Cool thanks for the heads up @article61 I will check them out. I haven't got a routine yet but I do have pages and pages of observations which I will turn into a routine. I have been spending time on @dlive as I'm a bit of a game nut, I'm thinking of doing something on that platform. Your mum will only see what she wants to see, along with the rest of society in her age group, she grew up in an age where you didn't question anything, even if there was evidence to prove otherwise, today, we are taught to question everything, which I always do, it's a tough world we live in, dog eat dog for sure!! (didn't mean to disrespect your mum, sorry) :)
