I saw Julia Morris in Edinburgh. She was better than I thought she'd be, but not brilliant. However she was far, far better than the blonde, American, bimbo she was on the same bill as who did a series of jokes about how much she likes to suck men off. PUUURRLLLEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!

And Brendan Burns came across as extremely crass and offensive on that show, he swore too much and "guess what you're the star of my next 10 wanks" is not a classy line.

Oh dear, I sound a bit like Mary Whitehouse here. What I mean is that swearing and sex talk is fine, as long as it's FUNNY and not offensive.

I actually meant to send that one to the Don't Fear The Corpses thread. I'll do that now.

This forum can be confusing sometimes!

Yes, but it's even more of a disgrace that people don't seem to be that bothered about it.

Yes it it, because we can persuade people not to actually buy the script when he published 'revised extracts' from it in a £20 book.

i think we should e-mail him direct. 'out of the trees' is just never, never going to be published in its complete form. there's no programme to tie it to any longer and not enough inherent python interest in the project to keep all these tiny little publishers in money.

i'd like mr yoakum to at least engage in some dialogue about this. and can we get douglas adams' and bernard mckenna's opinions? they, after all, wrote it too.

actually, i might be wrong. since mr yoakum has managed to publish 'jake's journey' and the 'the concrete inspector' or whatever, he might well publish it. wicked. then we can all pay £20 for an appallingly designed book.

Fair point, but thats not what was being said.
The comments made were along the lines of "Shouldn't you all be adding to the Out of The Trees thread" and not "don't buy the script when it comes out"... Posting to the thread and saying how terrible it was, simply got "but no one seems bothered"-type responses, so my only other thought on the subject would be to e-mail yoakum.

The Blues Project thinks its not our place to do this, and perhaps this also is a fair point.. so what next?

I'm not trying to be awkward, so I won't buy it if it comes out over-priced. Chances are if it hadn't been mentioned here, I probably would have never thought of looking for it, and unfortunately I never mamaged to read it before it was withdrawn.

Perhaps Jason could post it on the forum in installments!
