- I asked a group of 6 year olds to 'Pitch me a new film idea' Move over Hollywood A THREAD
- A delivery driver just asked for my date of birth. I said '94. He replied 'Is that 1994?'. Oh sorry mate, no. My bad, that was 1794. Right around the French Revolution.
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_Emma - "............I don't know any" In normal circumstances I would have given her a 0/10 and boo'd her off the stage. However Emma is extremely shy and just standing in front of the class is a massive step for her. 8/10.
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_Ravi - "MONEY CANNON" Genre: Money A crazed trillionaire builds a cannon and fires all his money into the air. What seems like a gesture of goodwill ultimately leads to chaos, greed and destruction. Holding a mirror to humanity and the state of society. Oscar buzz has begun.
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_Mikey - "What did the Cow say to the road? - He had a cow and then the farmer didn't even know what to do" What a fucking shit show from Mikey. No laughs. No real punchline. He walked up with a grin the size of the Cheshire cat, thinking he was Johnny Big Spuds. Trainwreck. 1/10
- I asked my year 1 classes 'If you could time travel, where would you go?' Here is my analysis A THREAD
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_Ravi - "Why did the skeleton not go to the party? Because he had noBODY to go with" Clearly a recycled gag from a parent or uncle. Didn't matter to me. Confident style. He even had inflection in the word "BODY". Kids an absolute class act. Look out for Ravi. 9/10
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_Ben - "What did the chicken not want to be? - A chicken nugget" Factual. Thought provoking. Witty. Would be excellent on the pannel of 'Have I got news for you'. Made us all think about the greed and overconsumption of mankind. We laughed but overrall we learnt. 8/10
- I asked my year 1 classes 'What's the best thing that's ever happened to you?' Here is my analysis; A THREAD
- I asked a group of 6 year olds if they wanted to get something off their chest. They did. A THREAD
- I asked a group of 6 year olds "How can adults become happy?" Take some notes A THREAD
- Replying to @GeorgePointon_END OF THREAD My quote of the week this week comes from William aged 5 "I will never be 4 again, but I'll be happy to be 6"
- What's an item you ONLY buy when it's on offer? For me it's pringles, I'm not paying a penny more than £1.25
