I know smiley - evilgrin Tis only cos you're sort of mums sister on here..that makes you my Aunt! hehe!

just been lurking around and have noted the thread you were commenting about. You were attempting to offer some form of advice. You didnt' understand the poem but a little guidance from the author as to what he/she was attempting to say would have been so easy. Forget it. Move on. Am getting annoyed at the fact that some people go on the defensive when there is absolutely no need to!

If I'd have done that, then I wouldn't have got past my first entry!

I have no idea! I did attempt to do one about music, but completely misunderstood the whole idea of PR smiley - blush

Will have to dig out my first attempt. Think it was something called SUNCTS which my uncle has, or Hives...smiley - erm you've got me thinking now.

Such a long time ago! Could have been written better, more research put into it, but the problem being is that there isn't much out there about the condition.

There are two tasks in Create at the moment aimed at the AWW.

One to turn a gift to a loved one or even a famous figure into a poem A87725613, and one to compose a story for the long, dark evenings of approaching winter A87724894.

(Hint, hint)

I am pretty sure anyone turning up from there, myself included, would be only too happy to have your comments, Bel.

Of course you will. smiley - hug And you should remember to print it out and keep it, because she'll read it in years to come and cry.

Secretly Not Here Any More

Bel, it's important to remember that some people don't want a review. They want praise. No idea why they then go to review forums, but so it goes.

Looking at the poem in question, and your comment, you're both right. The sentence repetition is clumsy, but I can see why it was put there. I'd suggest a similar change...

Anyway, you've had to deal with a reviewee flounce before. I remember you getting in a huff because someone had a massive strop when you changed half the grammar in A13488474.

And you seem to be friends with that particular person now! smiley - winkeye

I'll never forget that one! That wasn't about reviewing, though, but about subbing. smiley - biggrin

There was a lady called Bel,
Who said 'Oh darn it and hell -
Nothing does rhyme
and I've run out of time,
If I don't understand it... Do tell!'
