Northern Voices 10:38pm on 12 Aug 2009 @ Neo-Noir, yes you are totally right, I AM whinging!
My point is that I have more cause to whinge, because compared to the UK there are few to none similar opportunities available in Ireland, and I’m not just referring to Writersroom, which is a fantastic facility, I am also alluding to the fact that there are so many regional film bodies (such as South-West Screen), MA courses in both TV and film, Skillset courses, TAPS, not to mention regular comps runs by theatre companies and independent production companies.
So all I'm saying is, with respect, for that reason it seems odd to be commenting about being excluded by ‘divisive’ regional schemes when for the most part you don’t have to look very hard to find something juicy either course-wise or competition-wise in your area, regardless of where you are in the UK.

@ Piers, yes the Tony Doyle Bursary is a great opportunity for Irish writers, but it only runs every two years, so perhaps in the future the BBC may look at making it an annual event? The only other recent opportunity available for ‘new writers’ here was RTE’s Storyland, which was nigh on impossible to enter unless you were already affiliated to a production company.
Northern Voices 08:44am on 12 Aug 2009 Bloody hell!
Whinge, whinge, whinge!
The amount of opportunities for new writers in every bloody part of the UK is incredible - try living in Ireland, then you might have my sympathies...
CBBC Competition 9:04pm on 20 Jul 2009 Hi Paul
Any chance of posting a bit on how many made each stage?
Cheers.
CBBC Competition 3:04pm on 10 Jul 2009 That was 'hostile' obviously.
CBBC Competition 3:01pm on 10 Jul 2009 If it helps anyone else, I'm choosing to pretend that the whole CBBC comp was a front for a gang of hostil aliens... oooh, let's call them the 456, who are intent on lifting 20 writers from planet earth for their own evil ends.
So really, we're all just as well out of it.
CBBC Competition 1:43pm on 10 Jul 2009 Yes, a friend of mine was selected - he heard last night.
CBBC Q&A 3:56pm on 30 Jun 2009 Piers,

Good answer.

Personally, I think there should be some kind of award for anyone who uses the word 'circumlocution'. Excellent.
Nine days and counting 2:00pm on 29 Apr 2009 ...although the fact that I've actually just been on this blog and left that comment would suggest that I have a problem following my own advice...
Nine days and counting 1:59pm on 29 Apr 2009 @ TheloniousMonkhouse

Have found it's better to completely put these things out of your head as soon as the application has made its entry into cyberspace - helps to keep my sanity almost intact (such as it is).
Nine days and counting 9:50pm on 26 Apr 2009 ...and bullsh*it, one hopes :)
