Having seen his dismal attempts in the kitchen on Sunday, I'm afraid that I have to say cooking!  Sorry, but it was still mightily entertaining!

Pen: Trash Gent!

A bit delayed, however, congratulations to Mark and everyone involved in the 24 Hour Show! :D

What I could read, view, stream and watch was wonderful! A lovely distraction to my immenant assessments and exams. Would have given anything to participate, however, geography once again let me down.

I think everyone deserves an extra long rest after such an event! Congratulations once again!

Congrats Everyone! I wasn't able to watch any of it, but it still sounds like you had a wonderful time and it was a fitting end to the tradition. I enjoyed my limited participation a lot =) YAY!

i have thoroughly enjoyed watching the show, shame it has to be the last one, i would of LOVED to have seen it live.

congrats to everyone involved, great show!

Thanks for all your hard work Mark. Shame this one has to be the last

Congratulations Mark!

Please another 24 hours show again soon. It is a brilliant idea.

I have some everlasting memories. Like Adam Hills putting a cucumber down his pants.

xx Steph, Melbourne.

Huzzah!  Sounds like you guy are having an amazing, exhausting time.  Congratulations!

Building the John So effigy at last years Melbourne Comedy Festival - there's a big moment, along with getting him  to come!

GO HILLSY!

Good morning to everyone at the festival, from melbourne, australia. the local time is 9.05am, and its sunny outside. Hope everyines still alive/awake and having an awesome time for this last 24 hour show.

ps, Hillsy, love the kfc ad.

The Watson 24 Hour Show tattoo. A terrible picture, but it was literally just finished. We'll have another one soon!

Mark, it's been a great diversion to keep up with the show today; if I wasn't already stretched by stress to within an inch of my sanity, I would stay awake through the night to keep occassionally contributing (but mostly playing bejeweled).

As it is, I'm piking at midnight. I'm sorry. I feel I've let the team down, just like last year when I piked after 9 hours of being stationary in the Hi-Fi Bar in Melbourne. I say good luck to everyone who attends (or stays awake and figuratively attends) the whole event! I hope to wake up in time to contribute to the final moments of the last ever 24 hour show.

In the mean time, I hope you do some extraordinary things, sing lots of songs, and generally make the world a shinier and more pleasant place (although that's not a stretch for you, I'm sure).

Good luck, and I'm sending you all big hugs from Melbourne!

I have spent the last 9hrs trying to get mark watson an extension on his immigration visa to australia. He needs to let toby sullivan into his show NOW, so that I can get his signature and process his application. THIS IS URGENT PLUS!!!

Idiots of Ants are about to perform live, we don't have U2 yet but getting very close, and the entire world seems to be inexorably moving towards New Scottish Time.

Just cleaned out the drain by my back door. It had a dead mouse in it. Yuk.

It's been a lovely and unseasonably warm winter’s day here in Australia. The jasmine is blooming and spring is poking its little head around the corner making winter a little grumpy that it's going to be shown up very soon.

My 24 hours has been pretty nice, pretty average day at work. I've got a little bit of a cold but am now happily at home and my husband is kindly making dinner.

All in all a lovely 24 hours thanks :)

Well, my 24 hours so far have been: school-ing, buying embroidery threads, eating tomato and cheese sandwich, catching up on tweets, and now (and for the rest of the 24 hours) will be completing my Major Textiles Project which isn't due for another 5 days, however I need to get it framed. Tomorrow. And I still have hours and hours of work left. Hmmm, I probably shouldn't follow every tweet, but I can't seem to resist.

Got in from playing cards with my boss and two projectionists a little while ago. Now? Glorious sleep.  Will check in demain (well, today, really) matin.

Mark has learned the salsa in an attempt to impress his lovely wife with "real world" skills. He is being ably taught here by Amy Butterworth.

Things are much more exciting now that the Brits are waking up. I feel less like I'm the only person lame enough to not be there in person. Despite the fact that I have really valid excuses of being 19, American, and poor.

In other news, the RPS fic I just submitted is making me extra guilty. But I figure if writing RPS gets you a special place in hell, then maybe the fact that it was commisioned by its subjects will lighten my sentence to a while in purgatory, at the very least. I could handle that.

I am successfully avoiding doing any work at all by following this, and now by thinking up things for Mark to learn how to do

Stephen Fry just tweeted about it!  "Can it be that it's 20 mins earlier than we thought it was? That GMT has to be recalculated in light of new evidence? So I'm hearing..."

It's 07:30 in Jo'burg and time to join in the fun!

I'm joining a little late, but trying to catch up now

We have decided to change the world's reference time zone to New Scottish Time. This time is 20 minutes behind the current reference time, GMT. See the tasks page for more information.
