This is great! smiley - ok

A fine personal account of what sounds an interesting spot.

Great that you have dropped it into the AWW - hope you get some good feedback. smiley - smiley

You can easily knock out an editable version to stick into PR if you like - mostly your text can stand as it is. Worth doing, I reckon.

Meanwhile, I agree that as a first person account this is AWW material. I think there may be a place for this in AGG/GAG, which means a spot in The Post...

... interested?

Thanks for your message - nice as a first timer to get a positive response; posting to the world from your home is a strangely alarming experience!

I'd be happy for this to be entered for the Post and will edit it for review at some point. What does AGG/GAG stand for?

Always good to hear from a Calvin and Hobbes fan

Hi there Niccorelli, if you're lurking out there - this is a nicely written piece. It could be easily edited for the Edited Guide but it would lose the personal touch.

I think this could be an Underguide entry as it stands. Any other miners' opinions out there?

Agree with Waz. Sometimes I find the edited guide about as interesting as watching paint dry...not always... but regretably too often. Who wrote the rule book by the way regarding the first person?
How many classics would you like quoted as being written in the same?
mmmm shocking grammar there methinks. Only tiny criticism and being constantly guitly of it (as just proved...guilty) suggest a qucik spell check! Nice work.
Take care

Yes, definitely an entry which challenges the wisdom of the first-person rule. In fact I think that started off as a guideline and only solidified into a rule within the last couple of years, but what do I know?

Thanks for writing it, and thanks for posting it.

It IS strange reaching out to the world from your living room, isn't it?

Bizzare! Hi Ben Have you read http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A982820 ?
Thought there should be a 'how to take off your tights' reply. Meandered down the drunken route for a while and then surprisingly you sprang to mind. Thought about how many ways to take off your tights? Children and tights? men and boys and tights then who is taking off your tights? (which is where you came in) Any mileage in it do you think?
Take care

Well, I thought about taking off tights, and I thought about taking off stockings...

This is not really a reply, but it is the best I can do at short notice. A995349. Sling it into AWW if you like it. I find it a tad cynical, to be honest.

Actually, I decided to mark it 'not for review'. I dislike the section on stockings a lot, and am going to re-write it.
