There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho

What a great entry smiley - biggrin

As it is, it would be a good addition to AGG/GAG or <./>ThePost</.>, but I'm wondering if with a little tweaking it could be made to fit the Edited Guide smiley - smiley Have you read Writing-Guidelines and <./>Writing-Beginers</.>? Would you want to re-write the entry to follow those guidelines and then submit it to Peer Review, or do you prefer to leave it as is? Either way I think you've got a winner on your hands smiley - ok

Oh, and I just because I think it might be potential EG material doesn't mean that it would sail through PR and appear on the front page.

Cheers Gosho, it's rewarding to me even if you alone think it's any good. I'll have a gander at the rules and see what I think.

By the by, do you have any contributions to make to the Pappy-ism cut-list?

Cheers

Hello again.

I've rewritten the entry in the third person, and corrected a couple of errors, so where do I go from here? I'd appreciate a bit of help if you have time

I'll have to look at later - right now I'm rushing through everything before I head off to work.

And as far as an Pappy-ism of my own... did you include this one:

"Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!"

I'm sure there'll be others if I think about it a bit longer smiley - smiley

Ta very much. I've moved it to peer review now so let's hope all goes well. Cheers for the input.
