No Episode Tonight

[Mr Black] couldn’t make it for our third summer edition, unfortunately.

Sorry to get your hopes up.

[Mr Black] had a very busy time towards the end of last year and has promised us that a catch-up in the coming months will make up for it.

I certainly hope so and I’m sure you will too.

Next week our regularly scheduled Boxcutters returns.

And for those who missed out, why don’t you go back and listen to our interview with Pete Smith from last year to tide you over until then.

Lots of love,

Boxcutters

skins

Just watched the first ep of SKINS the new UK comedy from the writers of Shameless and stuff. I thought it was great. Loads of fun and very funny.

Anybody else see it?

Screening 10pm Mondays for the next 8 weeks.

Ernie & Bert meets The Sopranos… (finally)

So what do you get if you cross Ernie and Bert and the Sopranos?

Pure gold.

Alex Trebek has suffered a heart attack.

My favourite game show host is in hospital, reports ET Online:

ET breaks news that ALEX TREBEK has been hospitalized.

A rep for “Jeopardy” tells ET Alex suffered a minor heart attack last night at his home. He was with his wife, JEAN, who is currently by his side at the hospital, where is is said to be resting comfortably.

Let’s hope he gets much better soon.

Good news everybody

Just in case anyone was hanging out for episode 98 tonight, Boxcutters goes back to its usual recording time this week.

The show will be up late Monday night.

ice ice baby!!

Congratulations to Ice TV which won it’s long running court case against Channel 9 today. Great news for the young Aussie company. Onwards and upwards.

Our long anticipated Boxcutters competition is now underway.

All you need to do is spread the word about Boxcutters, in any way you want – the more creative the better – bring new visitors to the site with your special URL and you’ll be in the running for a Crumpler bean bag of your own.

Bean Bag

If you want to enter, send us a message to let us know, through the Boxcutters contact form, so we know how to contact you.

You’ll have to be registered on the site to make your special link so we can make sure we have a unique address for you to use.

How does it work? I’m glad you asked. The link you want to send people to begins with https://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid= followed by your username on the blog. My username is brett, so the URL I’d put out is https://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett

For our unusual users with more than one word in their username, where there’s a space, enter “%20”. So, if my username was brett boxcutter, the links would be https://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett%20boxcutter

It seems complicated but remember: you can always get in touch and we’ll explain it some more.

As you spread the word, put a link to where your link is posted, or describe your strategy, in the comments on this post.

The competition is open until 11:59pm on Sunday, September 30, at which point the winner will be decided by the judging panel (Brett, Josh and Ross) based on the number of visitors brought to Boxcutters, with extra points for style and creativity and minus points for shenanigans.

Happy Promoting!
